J.I.A.H.N Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Edler is worth more than just a first alone...…. From Toronto 2019 1st + 2020 3rd (which changes to a 2020 2nd if they win the cup) at the very least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I close? Yup, that’s it and with a protection of a full nmc again. your right im sure most guys elevate there game during a contract yeah, but some players are just contract year players others are not. Most couldn’t wait for edler s contract to end over the last 4years why would anyone think he’s going to play like this for the next 3 or 4 when he hasn’t since his last contract year. I’m not and haven’t been an edler hater but it’s time to move on. Hopefully he’d consider waiving if not then offer a 1 year take it or leave it deal see how bad he really wants to stay in Vancouver. Or good luck thank you and goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right in saying 3 years ago there were no love lost towards Edler, and the queue of fans ready to drive him to the airport were long and distinguished, so I totally get, what you are saying. My only concern in letting Edler go is we don’t get a proper replacement. As much as Hutton has impressed this season, I’m not sure he can replace Edler as our top D man long term. I may be wrong though as Hutton has come leaps and bounds this season. I would like to sign Edler for 1-2 year contract, and not really worried about the numbers, as long as he can be let go in max 2 years if his performances drop ( rather 2x6 than 3x4). Doubt he will do that though, time will tell. And then we have the scenario keep longer or let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally he's signed for another year or two to insulate Hughes/Juolevi as they adjust to the big show. As much as I'm gunning for Sautner/McEneny/Brisebois to solidify a spot in the top 6, and as much as Hutton has impressed lately, the risks of moving on without Edler outweigh the benefits save for a mind blowing deal he'd waive to (Say Kapanen/johnsson, Lilegren, 1st) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes taking the shelter away makes other rise up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
