ALL wells will decline with time, but 16.8 MMCFD and 5600 psi is pretty darn good.

Yes this is HUGE as in bigger lease bonuses!!! This is what easyrider from Investorvillage said:
"16.8 mmcfe/day is five times what the really good Barnett wells IP (initial production) for. This confirms the 10 to 20 mmcfe/day numbers that have been floating around for these wells since March. CHK and HK will soar on this news!!!!!!! "

If I use $10.00 per MCF, would this be $168,000 per day or do I have too many zeros behind it?

Pretty good article on Haynesville Shale:
From the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Explorer Magazine, July 2008 edition

http://www.aapg.org/explorer/2008/07jul/haynesville.cfm

One excerpt: “Those (Chesapeake) wells are making a lot of gas, and one of the main things that separates this stuff from the Barnett is there’s no huge decline in production,” Sepulvado said. “After a big Barnett frac, they fall off quick, but these don’t fall back – they’re choked back and could be doing even better.

“The only question now is in the Barnett they’re getting about 20 percent recovery,” Sepulvado said, “and this is looking like more toward 30 percent.

“You have a much thicker interval than the Barnett, and some of the values are better, like porosity and TOC,” he noted. “It’s a lot deeper (in the range of 11,000 to 12,000 feet), thicker and better parameters than the Barnett.”

At current spot of $13.3, I calculate it out at $223,440 per day. Do I have that right?

Let's go farther and assume 6 wells per section (~107 acre spacing) and you get $1.34 million/day/section. That comes out to $335,160 for the landowner (assuming 25% royalties.)

We can dream, can't we? LOL
