cleowin Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 wow, looks like edler conceded on everything? he wanted 3-4 years, canucks only gave him 2. I dont mind if there's an NMC in this deal since its not a big deal when it comes to expansion draft exposure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coconuts Posted June 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2019 That's amazing, best case scenario even. Higher cap for shorter term and we can figure out the expansion crap later. Welcome back Eagle! Benning and co did great and Edler cooperated. I'm calling that a win for management. I've lost some respect for Dhaliwal the last few days though. 2 1 3 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyman109 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Great deal by JB , no long term deal, 6 mill is high as far as I am concerned but it doesnt hurt us. So now we are back to ground zero with this defense. Now JB has to go out and Improve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still need Myers, or another top 4 rhd.......signing Edler doesn't change that. 2 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glug Datt Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 what a relief! things were looking a bit bleak as the ufa's started to get chomped up.. great term, great price, fair deal for all involved. still a ways to go but, NICE WORK JB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't change that the D needs help but him being here on a manageable short term deal makes it easier than it'd be if he left. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, this is an amazing signing and could not be more ideal for Vancouver in terms of terms and is below the market of what Edler could have received in terms of AAV. Does nothing to their CAP issues that don't start to show up until (potentially only that is) year 3. This demonstrated three things: Edler took a hometown discount AND probably didn't agree with his agent who would have pushed for more term and/or AAV Canucks management clearly understands and is sticking to a development plan and that does not include long-term commitments post a certain age when their young core should be mostly "emerged" (also showed a bit of hardball played...NO way this was Edler camp preferred deal) Some in media and CDC (Edler "done" with Vancouver) created a narrative based upon nothing whatsoever This, as stated in other threads, is one of the best FA signings by any team so far this summer in terms of team need, CAP situation and ensuring a "fit". Edited June 20, 2019 by Rob_Zepp added "so far" as it was what was intended. 1 2 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Wow, perfect deal for the club and a fair one for Edler too. JB is learning how to negotiate! This also lessens the likelihood of doing something stupid in free agency. Big win all around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spook007 Posted June 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2019 Fabulous deal. After expansion draft, he can be re-signed, if both parties wish to do so. This was the best possible deal for Canucks. At this time money not an object, so 6 mill is totally Ok. Welcome back Edler. Benning rules.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
