Rounoush Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 5 Million is an absolute steal but people will complain about this deal later on, similar to how people have hated Luongo's contract if he slows down after a couple of seasons. 6 years is a great time-frame though considering he'll probably hit his prime next season or the year after that. As for the Cap, WTF is Gillis gonna do now? Last time I checked we were about 2 or 3 million just under the cap, now with Edler's extra dollars we'll be right up against it with no room to sign an essential center. I love how Gillis has invested so much of our cap in defence, our top-4 is now solidified for the next few seasons and defence does win championships, but we are quite imbalanced now and lacking centers badly. Not sure what's more important to win a Cup - a good defence or depth at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Looks pretty likely that this is Ballard's final 1/2 season with the club. At least he'll leave with a cup ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 GMMG likes to be the first to break the news. Love how he did this, this time. Maybe had to do with the frustration of the media from earlier interview? Either way, I still like it Mike Gillis @GMMikeGillis I'd like to congratulate Alex Edler on agreeing to terms on a new multi-year deal. Details to follow. and then this lol..... insiders out of work? #confirmed Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr Good job on breaking the Edler news @GMMikeGillis If you want there could maybe be a spot open for you on http://insiderrumors.com #DreamTeam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJamIam Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Where are all the "Edler won't resign here!" people from 2 days ago? Edler is not Ehrhoff. He's better, and he's ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Luongo Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I am not giddy like most on this signing because at his best he can be a beast (as much as a soft euro can be) or he can be horrible like he was against LA and at other times so far. Time will tell whether this dea is good or bad for the organization. I am not sold either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He doesn't have to be born in Vancouver for Vancouver to be his hometown. He lives here and makes a living here, that makes it his home town. Any one who has move away from their place of birth can tell you this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Its apparently got another ntc. Would have honestly rather overpaid 1-1.5 million more to make him more tradable if necissary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
