I was just surprised to see Edler playing already because I thought that just a few days ago the AV said he was week to week.
Good to hear Bourdon have a great training camp and a good game so far. Probably a lot more comfortable with the speed of the game in the AHL right now in his development stage.
I'm pretty sure Weaver is on a two way. Just seems to get stripped of the puck too often, fann's on a lot of clearing attempts/passes and is sometimes scary in the decisions he makes. That is just what I saw though and I'm no hockey expert but I thought Edler last season and in pre-season this year is much more reliable and effective.
I rather have Edler up when he gets some conditioning games and gets to be the point man on the 2nd unit PP, I rather not have Morrison back there.
Yeah, I would be much more comftorable with the Swedish #2 D unit of Ohlund Edler.
Much rather have a 6'3 200 pound Edler with good stickwork and a solid shot to work that PP.
