whatever Mattias Ohlund gets in salary arbitration could determine the fate of gritty Canucks forward Matt Cooke, who remains unsigned. Cooke's agent suggests if Ohlund "wins big" in arbitration, the Canucks simply won't have any room left within their salary cap to re-sign Cooke, which could facilitate trading his client for a draft pick. It's believed Cooke could be seeking close to the same salary ($1.25 million) as the Sedin twins.
