Then, on July 1st sign EK. Alf-er, Concerned that EK is a prima-donna, drama queen. Unnecessary expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him in a Canucks jersey? If we get additional assets for an Edler rental, I consider that a win. I do. But I doubt the Laffs will be offering Edler 20m over two years like the Nucks did Sundin. Adjust for inflation and market value then to now and it's like ...200m in today's dollars. In summary: Alex Edler will play for the Leafs if they offer 100m. Otherwise, no way he waives. I imagine he'll be part of the next 2 years here, sheltering younger d-men and then gone once were actually competitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuardian_ Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 If TO did do a deal it would have "conditions" such as re-signing and/or depth in the playoffs A TO 1rst would be at 25 to 31. My pet idea is a trade for the 2020 1rst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just our way of saying thanks foNr doing this. 3 X 4 M (includes a 6 million signing bonus) No deal over 2 years. At least not without ensuring he knows he wont be protected when Seattle has their expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanevs plays his best every game, shot suppression super star, tanev when heathy is one of the best defensive dmen in the game. Have you noticed, they all do...

vannuck59 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Give Edler a one year 4 mil. plus 4 mil. bonus deal tell him he can be resigned every year until he wants to retire up to 3 years, that way he wont have to be protected. Then see how bad he wants to stay . First year sign 4 mil with a 4 mil signing bonus second year resign for 4 mil and the next year resign for 4 mil. Trade him this year, at the TDL he waives to go to Tampa for a cup run ,Then resign him next year. Oh yah and we get Raddysh or another good prospect or pick. This would tell you how much he loves Vancouver and the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO the sooner this is put to bed the better we will feel about it when it doesn't happen! the last thing heard Edler say was something along the lines of "I like it here, i want to be here, but if the nucks don't want me I would do whats best" I would love to see him traded and then resigned after winning a cup.

If my salary for the next 3-7 years were going to be negotiated, I would do my outmost to give myself the best chance of a good contract. You’d like to think they always do their best, but it doesn’t always look like it... And its definitely not uncommon to see players suddenly improve and not look neither lethargic nor lazy in the last year of their contract. Any agent worth his salt would advise his client to, if possible step it up a notch for a stronger barganing position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Aside from the typical 1 round pick or Liljegren either of which would be an Ideal scenario. I'd be Kicking tires on Semyon Der Arguchintsev after this past draft I believe JB has aquired a taste for players of his ilk highly skilled undersized diamonds in the rough. + Justin Holl Right shot d with size former 2nd rnd pick projects as a solid 5/6 D + 2nd which will be a late one. or maybe they throw in Durzi would work out to 2 seconds and a 3rd all of whom are progressing well. Between Woo Holl and Durzi we have a ton of competition for that next RHD position I still think Woo would be our guy but Durzi and Holl are ahead of him in their development Semyon I like he has filthy skill and that backhand drools.

Great... but very few if any plays their worst in a contract year. You’d be down right stupid to not elevate your game, if posible, when your salary for thenext 3-7 years are about to be determined. Old age or injury may dictate otherwise but you are playing for your future, either with your present club or with a new club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 TOR Edler (top D) Gagner (professional playoff depth) VAN 1st whatever else they should add. There is nothing better than a Benning 1st round pick (TOR) outside of one of a Leafs core player. Anyone who needs proof only need to watch a Canucks game.

The Aqua’s will have sellouts in less than three years. It’ll pay for itself long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
