RunningWild Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Awesome! Edler! I can't remember Gillis negotiating with any player a yr before their contract expires. Does anyone remember any examples? Now we're hearing about Burrows and Edler, makes me wonder what's up? Maybe he's trying to figure out a long term plan - like how much cap space he'll have for next few yrs and how that'll play into a goalie trade?

DownUndaCanuck Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yes Edler is good but his inconsistencies and poor playoff play last season will drag his cap hit down considerably. 4 to 5 million per for 4 years sounds good. 5.5M max, but a much shorter contract in that case.

RunningWild Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Ironically, I recall that he signed Edler to his current contract in the summer before his ELC expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksbiggestfan Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Detroit. They wanted to draft him in the 1st place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 All this talk of $5m, $6m or $7m is nonsense. Remember when Jason Garrison was getting $6.5m on July 1st, yet signed for $2m less? Edler is a sensible guy, he knows that Hamhuis and Bieksa take the tough minutes so he looks better against easier forwards - he's signing for that magic $4.6m. I'd say 5/6 years length. If Edler left on a $7m deal to ANYWHERE, there'd be huge pressure on him to: - play against top lines - put up 60pts - be a leader I dont think he's capable of doing those things. Love the guy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I think a sedin deal would be fitting. Maybe he wants more with the cap where it is. I'd rather overpay if it means no NTC. As much as gillis Gets praised for making players sign discounts all those contracts come with a ntc and we have little to no liquid assets at this point aside from our younger players.

Mayray2112 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I always forget that the NHL video games have a direct correlation to real life. I created myself in that game. Im a 99 overall. Forget Shane Doan, Gillis should be signing me for big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 okay now heres the question "will mg and edler be able to make a deal with him being capped out at 4.6m?" i think he will but i have no problem going 5.5m for edler and still think i am getting a discount...he would get 6.5m-7.5m offers on the open market 6yrs/27.6m 4.6m per (exactly the same deal as garrison) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Signing both Edler and Burrows before the new CBA is kinda risky. And not on the players' side. However, a GM doesn't want to let these guys go for nothing either. The Ducks have Getzlaf and Perry coming up. You'd think they'd be extended already, but maybe it's in the works like our guys.

The Big Luongo Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Edler has far too many holes in his game and is a way too soft for my liking i would prefer we trade him. What i have seen in the past is when the going gets playoff tough guys like Edler crumble and unfortunately thats all i see from Edler. Locking Edler up for 5 years at 5-6 would be a mistake we would regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I feel like Edler won't sign for a home town discount. He's not a B.C. native, he isn't a Burrows and he isn't a Sedin ( well close) and he sure ain't a Kesler ( Though it seemed after we signed this contract that every other GM went insane with their money). I'm sure he is asking for 7mil a season while Gillis is offering 4.8 mil. It'll probably get shortened down for 6.5 mil for 5 years which is too much for someone soooooooo shaky vs. L.A. last year.

ninja321 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 This guy wasn't too hot in the playoffs but he defs has potential to be even better than he is now ! I'd love to see him sign 6 years or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
