Coconuts Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'd be fine with a trade but Eddie would have to agree to it of course. I'll be fine if he chooses to stay too though, the clause was negotiated into his contract and he's still useful to us. Ideally we'd see a trade and him coming back next season imo. Edler gets dumped on a lot but our d core would sure look a lot uglier without him. If he had sufficient top four support beyond Tanev he wouldn't have to play as much and we'd likely see fewer mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Trade for high pick plus top prospect. Re-sign in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 As long as Edler takes on a lesser role moving forward, and based on his fairly strong play the past season or so, I would be happy to re-sign him in July on condition that he takes a trade this coming spring to help the team.

Twilight Sparkle Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 not surprised with the eyes he's probably raising with the blocked shots. it's a pretty large margin this early in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 if we're going to trade him, do it before the deadline. Knowing our luck, he would get injured just before the TD... blocking a shot lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 He's had a real resurgence since last Christmas or so. I'd love to see a quality RHD prospect coming back, but I'm also open to re-signing him. Neither OJ nor Hughes will be ready for the first pairing, and ideally wouldn't be counted on to have to play in the top 4. We'll need vets in the D group and I'd rather not overpay for a UFA.

Warhippy Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Sorry calling BS CDC and HF Boards all agree with a near majority Edler sucks. They are now and always will be more knwoledgable than 30 professional hockey GMs backed with dozens of scouts and mountains of data so no way this can be a real story and certainly not a pick and a prospect pfft OK for real though, i'd be very ok with a trade and re-sign. At this point i'd also just be ok with a re-sign to retirement deal. Almost 33 years old, 3-5 years at $3 ish million per leading in to retirement. The Canucks are one of the few teams over the last decade that can say they drafted and retired their players after only playing on one team. Be nice if it happened with Eddy too But we need picks and prospects and this is the year to get both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just it. Who would fill the #1 D spot until Hughes or Juolevi is ready. Benning has taken a cautious approach with young players in the past. He has not assumed that they will just slot in. Examples are Pettersson, Gaudette, Hutton, Stecher.....you name it. He has been adding veterans just in case: Weircoich, Gagner, Beagle, Schaller, Gudbranson, Roussel, Sutter, Del Zotto. Why would he change now. I think that this is just a case that Edler is in the final year of his contract without a renewal and he is attractive as a rental. The vultures are circling. Benning would be crazy to let Edler go. He would have a great deal of difficulty in finding a veteran replacement particularly at the term that Edler may be willing to sign at.

Shekky Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I would have no issue with trading him and resigning in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Must be true. My NHL19 Be A GM season offered me Tyler Myers for Edler and two draft picks. And if it happened in a video game, it will likely happen in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Since returning from injury last January he's been playing like a much younger version of himself. Resurged indeed. If he'd accept a trade and resign in July scenario, he'd achieve legendary status in Vancouver. Unless by some crazy stroke of fate we're in a playoff position in Feb... That'd be unexpected, but warrant an extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Checking cap friendly for the Pens d prospects... not much going not there in terms of signed players (https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/penguins) Hopefully Alex would go somewhere deeper in prospects but an additional 1st would be nice.

Darkstar Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Edler is one of those rare commodities that might pick up a late first rounder at the deadline. Hoping we can re-sign him in the offseason to a 3-4 year deal. Edler, Tanev, Juolevi, Hughes, Stecher and Gudbranson wouldn't be an awful core for next season.

billabong Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 i see wpg as solid trade partner edler has played in wpg before, they're a cup contender and need a upgrade on the left side and have a glut of tradeable assets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo seems to be lights out with the drafting in the first and second round. No duds - some 'underperformers', but all serviceable players at the very least. No Patrick Whites thus far.

He might not care about it. He could be one of the rare breed who simply wants to live where he wants to live, and that's Vancouver. If an extra 4-8 million over the life of the contract doesn't make that much difference to him, then it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
