thehamburglar Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm signing him if I'm MG, he's just too good to let walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowelPower12 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I don't really care what the Canucks do for trades at the moment cause if we lose another season due to a lockout i'm fracking done with the NHL. I'll be watching junior hockey and other sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 He should be traded if we can't re-sign him by the deadline. Losing assets for nothing is a terrible way to run a club. Still pissed at losing Jovo for nothing a few years back. We have lost more guys but he stands out most to me, he was a great Dman back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Would you rather win the cup and have Edler walk or trade him and not win the cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Let me make something clear I would trade edler if we can get a fair deal. I wouldn't just trade him for anything we can get...it has to keep us currently competitive just with a little more security for the long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 If he doesn't resign it's aparent he's looking for the money. Trade him for a canadien who might be more interested in playing for a wining team instead of the big contract. The Canucks can't always be the "classy team" letting the players make up their own mind. Loosing Edler to free agency would be a mojar blow to this team, especially after watching erhoff walk....

elvis15 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 So you would rather him stay here and become a FA so others would scoop him for nothing? We had Edler for a few years and didn't win a Cup. How sure are you that he will win it for us and it will happen this year (if there is even hockey this season)? If MG fails at the extension prior to the trade line, I would rather we get some decent than losing him for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drybone Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Its too late. We either over pay Edler or he walks as a UFA. We needed to trade him by Sept 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 So wait, why would we trade him again? Lol @ these commentors whining about his inconsistent player here or there, he was injured in those playoff series. Okay hockey geniuses who suggested it, how are we going to replace a 40+pt offensive D-man who has a 100mph+ slapshot? Who can someone name that'd be a quality trade? Did Shea Weber become available recently and I missed it? Defence wins playoffs, so don't give me "omg we can get a top 6 forward in return". Give me a break. Anyone who is suggesting we upgrade our top 6 forwards for maybe say 10+ extra goals over our last year's top 6 in exchange for making our defensive core far inferior (unless someone names a trade they think with someone who can replace Edler) clearly doesn't know what factors are key to winning games.

Clonedanielsedin Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Edler is kind of a feline, but id sin him for max 4.5mil 2 years anything over that let him walk. his physical play has declined alot and playoff performance for that money not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I am happy to trade him, imo Ballard is better, especially in tough situations. There are a couple of players this team needs and if Edler is the means to getting one or both I am happy to trade him. Edler and Booth for Perry and Sbisa Perry with the Twins Raymond - Kes/Arnott - Burr Higgins - Malhotra/Arnott - Hansen Volpatti/Desbiens - Lapierre/Malhotra - Pinizzotto/Weise Hamhuis Bieksa Ballard - Garrison Sbisa - Tanev Multiple SCs on the way!

Pears Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Some of these comments I'm reading in this thread are flatout ridiculous. Ballard is better than Edler? Sign him for less than Garrison money or trade him? Please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 So yes if he can't settle for the same as Garrison or less, I see nothing wrong in trading him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
