Better off with La buying him off , we can sign him if elder doesnt want to sign cheap with the team . If u compare elder to phaneuf , they r about the same player both play on pp/pk , similar age , both can move the puck well and only reason why his production was bad last season of willie ....(not the best coach )
The only thing different phaneuf is a bit older , but more of a physical player then edler is.
Phaneuf offseason signing after la buy him out 2y x 2-3m
Elder 2-3y x 5-7m with a protection contract
Which would u choice
