I've seen him making nice passes out of the D-zone and also skating up ice. It is true that he made mistakes, but he has something that we lacked up until now: the ability to move the puck. I mean, he does not use it everytime, but it's there haha
He has been consistently our best D-man for some years, now. The -39 Torts' year was bad, but he improved since then. People seem to still have that season as Edler's standard.
I strongly believe that with a better D-core Edler can improve his offensive numbers. He has been the best D-man we had in the past years, and looks the best we have right now. Having a better support and better offensive cast might pump up his game.
