Wilbur Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Went on vacation. Over my break, Edler was the highest to move up the all-time Canuck scoring list. Now in 18th. 17. Patrik Sundstrom C 374 133 209 342 18. Alexander Edler D 753 83 247 330 19. Cliff Ronning C 366 112 216 328 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to see Edler back next year. He has reclaimed what makes him a great defenseman in this league under Green and Baumgartner, and with Gudbranson, and now Stecher, as defensive partners. His minutes (over 30 minutes last game!), his on ice vision, maturity, dominant physical play, and assists and goals have been a bright spot on the back end, which hasn't had many. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it a little differently. His offensive output has been alright this year but he's still on the bad side of a lot of defensive lapses and brutal give aways. The good news is, I see it as a fixable situation in the offseason. As it stands, it sounds like JB wants Edler beyond next season. If this is the case, JB needs to find a compatible defenseman that nuetralizes Alex's weeknesses. Enter, Ian Cole. He's experienced, has physicality, and is defensively responsible. On paper, at least, he'd make a great pairing with Edler. I was going to suggest Jacob Trouba but that's a little too much to hope for. If he gets to free agency, I'd like to see a serious play for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Edler for as long as he can play. I see a three year extension as ideal. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at potential UFA Dmen, and his name stuck out to me also. He looks like a good fill-in as he hits his prime, and won't rob the bank to sign him. Good size to him also, with a little offense to boot Edited March 31, 2018 by Father Ryan Additional content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 That's it. Eddy is the last 2011 cup run player on the roster. He has been playing real well this year. I wonder if he knew the twins were retiring. Maybe it got him to appreciate the game and how much time he has left in it. Something is different because it's the best he has played in years.

Tanev played a bit in that year, but only a bit. Edler's longevity may be more recognized now that the long-lasting twins are leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It's tough for Edler too. He has been playing with the twins ever since he entered the NHL and I can tell in the last few days in the interviews with Edler that he is barely holding the tears back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler had a very strong season as is a veteran presence at this point, so I can see the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a helluva return for Eagle. I think I would prefer the first trade, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's a solid #2D and still has a tonne of value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida isn't exactly in a position to get far in the post season. Barring any big trades that might come this summer. Edler moves the needle some sure. Likely first/second round exit tho.
