cuporbust Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hey guys. Just read this article about Edler's world championship performance , and to me , the question is who is actually the more valuable asset, Tanev or Edler? There has been tons of speculation on Tanev being the best piece to move , but i would argue that even with age considered, Edler just might be a better fit with the teams looking to add a top d man. Granted there are age and NTC issues with Edler, but he does bring a more physical game , and more offense ability as well. Thoughts ? https://www.nhl.com/news/vancouver-canucks-alex-edler-makes-big-impact-at-2017-iihf-world-championship/c-289484132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Edler that plays for the Canucks not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where'd Luongo? Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Edit: Oops this isn't Edler hah! Gotta admit though, the fact that many of us initially thought that it was is bad in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Is it worth only moving up to 3rd? I would prefer to trade either, or both, for proven young assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like Edler but I am getting kind of tired watching him play with passion for Sweden all the time while he is almost devoid of it when playing for the Canucks. If he could bring that same passion to the Canucks on a regular basis I would not like to see him moved at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJVD Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Elder is a puzzling player, he is more than capable of elevating his game when the skill level of his team mates is high. He's the tofu of defensemen, tastes like whatever he's cooked (or in this case playing) with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats more what I am wondering. Who would generate more interest is what I mean basically. I would say Edler has more to offer if he was consistent. Neither had a very good year.

A team like Toronto would value Tanev more because they don't need anymore LD. But a team like Winnipeg would have no interest in Tanev because they're RD heavy and would have more interest in Edler. Overall it's really though to decide which has more value because it's definitely close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Tanev is more valuable, but Edler would probably still get interest if we wanted to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
