Don't expect the Canucks to be too eager on putting 4-5mill on this guy, which is what he wants. It's going to take a home town discount and a miss on getting Suter to get this guy so doesn't seem the most likely thing to go down this summer with the Canucks.

I wouldn't be opposed to it....but he would have to leave a lot of money on the table to sign here, and hope that Ballard was moved.

I don't see it being overly realistic. Another LH d-man, who would end up being Ballard 2.0 here (he could easily get 3.5 on the open market)

*I know he plays the right side, but I think there are better candidates to play Edlers d-partner moving forward.

It would be a waste to bring him in on a 3rd pairing role.

If he really wants to play in Vancouver, I can see a 4 year deal around 3.5 per. Usually when guys want to sign somewhere in particular, term is more important that the aav.

Break down:

5M in bonus $$ upfront (due to new CBA)

Year 1 - 3M

Year 2 - 2.5M

Year 3 - 2.5M

Year 4 - 2M

No NTC - we have enough of those.

But he probably gets more or longer somewhere else.
