Hamhuis had a broken face, a pregnant wife, and a No Movement Clause (that predated this management group). Likewise, Edler could not be moved without his consent. Otherwise it's a cool story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion is to overpay him for 2 years. Which might look like $7.5 million. Even $8. We wont have to protect him. It coincides expiring with having to re sign Petey. If he wants to stay longer? Repay us with cheaper short term deals then on... He's worth 5 absolute tops and even that is too much at his point in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafs are paying Zaitsev 4.5 million and he's not even a legit NHLer. Mike Green makes even more than 5 million and he's an absolute trainwreck in his own zone. Even the biggest coward in the league, Matheson, makes 4.8 million. 6 million for a legit top 4 who can play on the first pairing if you need him to is a pretty solid discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman64 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 3 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: It sounds like Benning doesn't want to give him a contract longer than 2 years, which makes total sense. So Edler will most likely test the free agent market. I doubt there is a team out there that will give him more than 2 years, or if they do they won't give him a NMC. Once Edler figures this out he will come back to the bargaining table and JB will get him a 2x6 deal. That's fair on both sides. Edler gets a nice salary as a 33 year old and the Canucks get the term they want. He can have his NMC as long as its only a 2 year term. There is no team that will give him 3 years with a full NMC given the expansion draft, I can pretty much guarantee that. Also, JB can just give him more money on the 2 year deal as others have mentioned. We won't have cap issues until the expansion draft when Petey and Hughes are up for renewal, so why not just give him 2x7 or 2x8? If he can get $16 million over the next 2 years that should take care of the money aspect of the deal for him. If he can get another contract after that then good for him. If not he got his $16 million and can retire. He should retire now while he can still physically function, his injury list is a mile and he's a millionaire 10 times over so he can spend a ton of family time as well instead of getting beat on for the next few years...

He's a grown man who's still more than capable of playing at a very high level, doing what he loves. He can make up his own mind as to whether or not he wants to keep playing. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Maybe he can go ask Holland to sign him to a foolish contract like he did with Kronwall at the same age.... We lose the Sedins last year and won a few more games, my guess is if we lose Edler the same thing will happen. Don’t know what he’s expecting, at his age how many years past expansion should he really even get? End of and era. Just don’t sign him and go after a younger guy like Gardiner or Myers if we think we need a veteran UFA... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a guy who is that banged up? Lmao! Players and their agents would love a guy like you for a GM... if you agree to the post of 7.5 - 8 mil why would you not go after someone around 25-27 yrs old and nowhere near banged up for 2 yrs?

canucklehead44 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I don't care what we pay him on a two year contract. But if he wants a NMC during the expansion draft good riddance. The guy hasn't played over 70 games any of the last four seasons and is turning 34 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking for evidence of one high-end player agreeing to a contract that short as an under 30 UFA. Of course the team would agree to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
