I would hope that Edler is moved. While his presence is great for minutes and experience, he is the oldest defenseman and might still yield a decent return.
His minutes could be easily absorbed and dispersed through the six defensemen, and his veteran experience is already supplanted by Del Zotto, Gudbranson, and Tanev.
Physicality? Gudbranson and Del Zotto, to a lesser extent Pouliot and Stecher (ask Strome).
Not sure if Edler is a stellar communicator, but based on comments from Stecher and Gudbranson, they appreciate his experience.
