Vigneault optimistic after meeting

No word yet on any signing, but Vigneault seems to be saying he thinks it will get done:

Canucks coach optimistic about Linden's return

Cheers,
Erik.

Re: Vigneault optimistic after meeting

Welcome, lornefriske.
I think they'll keep him, and I'm glad. This will be his 19th season.
interesting part of that article:

Agreeing to a contract isn't expected to be a problem for Linden, who played for $600,000 US last season but is in line for a raise, given a strong second half and an excellent playoff.
The Canucks currently have 20 players under contract for $45.86 million US, an amount that includes $366,663 toward the buyout of Marc Chouinard. The NHL salary cap for the 2007-08 season is $50.3 million. (GM) Nonis has said he wants the Canucks' payroll to be no higher than $48 million to start the season.

Linden'll be getting 7 figures next round, is my guess.

They signed him to a one year contract - Trevor Linden gets $600,000 base plus $350,000 in bonuses for games played.
That one took a looooooonnng time.
