The NHL Draft is happening in Vancouver this weekend, with the entire hockey world watching. While fans and analysts are debating about where Cole Caufield should be drafted, there were two guys in attendance simply enjoying the experience.

That would be the beloved Sedin twins.

Daniel and Henrik Sedin were lifetime Vancouver Canucks, and they hold just about every record in franchise history. They also offered the unique dynamic of what some people call “twin telepathy”, essentially meaning they play so well together is seems like their communicating through thoughts.

When commissioner Gary Bettman called them onto the stage, they got a rousing reception from the Canucks faithful. It was announced that they would be forever immortalized in the rafters on the Canucks arena.

2️⃣2️⃣ & 3️⃣3️⃣ forever. Daniel and Henrik Sedin will have their numbers retired as part of a weeklong #Canucks50 celebration in February. https://t.co/FkV3PmOslA

Needless to say, nobody was arguing the decision. The dedicated twins gave their heart and soul to the franchise, and now they’re being honoured for it.

Two great players. Their carreer is already over but we will never forget #Henrik and #Daniel.

Two of the greatest to ever lace up their skates for the Canucks. A well deserved honour. Can’t wait to see their numbers hanging next to other Canucks greats.
