[Article] Gallagher: Edler might be the price of NHL lockout for Canucks

Wasn't everyone freaking out when we didn't sign the Sedin's and they were UFA's for a few days, then Gillis signed them to a deal?

There's a reason we have Gilman as capologist. What it might mean is we will have to dump Luongo, Ballard and Alberts and get 3 7th round draft picks out of all three, provided we can find a team willing to take the salaries on. That's $10.4 million in cap room that would clear up. Sadly, that might also mean that a player like Booth might have to be expendable to save us an additional $4.250 million as well.

(Dallas has a boatload of cap room as does Anaheim, Phoenix, and yes Florida. Toronto has $9 million in cap space not sure they can make Luongo fit even if he wanted to go there.)

Like a couple guys said Edler should have been traded anyway possibly with Luongo and Raymond to lure other teams in the Luongo mix and get a solid dman and more coming back in return.

Between how much money Edler and his agent probably want, his on ice deficiencies and back problems and how it could sweeten the pot on a Luongo deal this trade would seem to be obvious choice to me.

The only loss here is if we get nothing in return.
