I want to see how he responds to all the criticism he received last season. Hopefully, he uses it as motivation to improve his game and get back to what we saw from him in his first year. I also agree on Del Zotto. For the most part, he was completely ineffective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have a good feeling that if we don't re-sign Edler, he will just retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enjoyed having you, made you a wealthy man but go chase a cup Eddie. Oh and finally we wont be tendering you any kind of offer so you will have to find a new home come July so be proactive like Juice and try to re sign with the team that acquires you right away. Nah I can see edler not waiving and just retire go back to Sweden and we get nothing out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is an actual quote, the other is that the evidence seems to suggest. Evidence is much more than someone's verbal quote; I guess you didn't know that.

Nuxfanabroad Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Edler will prob hang in there, then go play in Seattle if we're stuffed-full with LHD men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.hockey604 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Tanev is one of the D to move. We need more resilient, physical, durable, Gritty players that are tough to play against that have skill and a heavy game. A change in the Defensive culture is what is needed here. I like Tanev, but in my opinion he does not reflect what I envision what a "Canuck" is. This maybe why so many Canuck fans that love Tanev, still advocate trading him. A change would be good!

Because we didn't sign enough grit in free agency? While I agree our defence could use a make over, I personally feel we should be looking to add more skill.

kloubek Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 This convo doesnt even factor Tryamkin, who I'm hoping will indeed come back. I think we have to wait and see what the competition for limited spots breeds. Id love to have Hutton improve but hes a candidate to move out for sure. Second to him id say MDZ is odd man out. He brings more hits than people realize but hes quite ordinary all around. Id certainly rather keep Edler and have an opportunity to maybe re-sign him for another year. I view his length of time as a Canuck an advantage when mentoring the young guys. As far as Tanev goes, I see him as the safety net that will allow Hughes to do his thing in the o zone.

cripplereh Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Tanev,Hutton should go bring back one and we are set package with someone like baer or granlund and motte or gagne and bring back a pick or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see them moving him without a replacement, minimally a Brisebois/Sautner/McEneny who prove they can take that shutdown role. Not to mention using him for Hughes/Juolevi's acclimation.

DrJockitch Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Does it have to be just one? I could be perfectly happy moving three or four. Would like to see 1-2 moved before the season and OJ and or Hughes on the team. As have said many times before, just a bad mix of players. They are not necessarily all bad players, there are some good pieces, but they don't fit together. The D that fit the mold of modern NHL D men Tanev, Stetcher, Hutton and MDZ all struggled or were injured. In the case of MDZ was just over-used for what he brings. Gudbranson had another bad year, we really need to find this guy the right partner given he is now signed. Edler had one of his better years in recent memory, Pouliot was essentially a rookie and was an adventure at both ends of the ice. D was small, not terribly tough to play against, didn't move pucks well and put up almost no offense. To me the most disappointing part of this post season is that nothing has been done here. I never call for a GMs head but if our D looks like this at the end of next season I will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
