MattJVD Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 New record! Most goals by a Canucks defenceman (94) is now held solely by Edler (he was tied with Ohlund at 93). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Edler's current pace would put him on pace for 16 goals, 33 assists, and 49 points in 82 games. I never would have guessed in a million years he'd return to form like this again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I find it hard to ignore this is a contract year and if he is signed more than a year I expect him to return to prior form, unfortunately.

Fortunately, even last year was much better that the years prior. Obviously not as good as this year, but still quite solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only proves to me that he started trying harder the closer the end of his contract got. I would be happy to sign him for another couple of years with a ntc which I'm sure he will demand, and hope he can keep it up. I do not, however, want to see a long contract. Even if he triea as hard as he can, it wont be long before the years start catching up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys not actually see the (OBVIOUS) pattern here? Back when we were a contending, president cup winning team, Edler = 'good:. When we were a thin, low talent team at the lowest points of the rebuild, Edler = 'bad'. Now we're starting to trend up with a few young skilled players and increasing, quality depth around him and... It's a team sport folks.

I can see where there is an aspect of that, but please lets not fool ourselves into thinking we are THAT much better of a team. I like how our young guys have stepped up and filled the void of leaving vets, but at the end of the day this season we have continued to be a bottom feeder in an easier West. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt our team has lots more potential now than before. This is faster, more exciting hockey to watch too. However, our points say this team really isnt currently much better than the one we have iced in recent years past. If it wasnt for Marky playing the way he has, we would be right at the very bottom of the league once again. Concidentily, I feel it is Marky's play that has helped mask our defensive deficiencies - including that of Edler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're slightly ahead in points despite two future Hall of Fame players retiring and a huge amount of injuries. We're currently much better IMO. And you never need apologize for having a good goal tender (which we also had when Edler was 'good'). Again, team sport.

Oh give me a break. #1 - the 2 hall of famers you mention managed a grand total of 105 points last year. Together they managed 26 goals. So far....our rookie who never played a game in the NHL before this year got 27 goals with 3 games to go. Sometimes your hyperbole makes me think Alflives has 2 accounts. Our rookie this year and sophmore got 120 points this year. Yes..yes...yea...I love the Sedins as much as anybody....but they were more than done last year. Their retirement was addition by subtraction at that point in their careers and everything stat wise agrees with that take. #2 - injuries - we have HUGE injuries every year. EVERY YEAR. I am firmly with those who will be very disappointed if this team does not take a big step forward next year. So NO...we are not MUCH better this year. Same number of points and still a bottom feeder. The team should get better each year for the next few years but many things could throw that trajectory off track. Hopefully, as another poster stated, we don't turn into deadmonton and keep spinning the wheels. This is year 5 of the rebuild. Time to take huge steps forward or even bigger changes are needed.

We're on pace for a marginal bump in points despite handing the reigns over to green kids (and the aforementioned injuries). Better. And I love how you go on about how much better the kids are than the decrepit Sedins...
