Newsflash Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Subban is only in his 2nd season, and has gotten 38 and 36 points in his first two seasons, much better than Edler's first two. Subban is already better than Edler defensively, and will be better offensively than Edler, at Edler's age. Edler is also a ufa next year. It's an underpayment from us.

Rypien37 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Subban's 2nd season isn't much better than Edler's 2nd. They are similar defensively. I always lol when people think potential>the real thing. Montreal would not trade Subban for Edler. But we would not trade Edler for Subban. If you ask other teams, believe it or not, there are some that would rather have Edler. His lack of on ice antics, and already being an established #1 (or at the worst, #2) make him a desirable asset. Whereas Subban's RFA status, age, and potential (although if you ask me, Edler still has room to grow) make him a desirable asset. That trade is not worthy of a facepalm, and even though Montreal would probably not do it, it's not because Subban>Edler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Killer Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Raymond won'r fetch you Subban, but just maybe, Raymond plus our first would fetch Tinordi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Edler is not anywhere near a #1 D, we don't have one on this team. Until he improves his defensive side of the game he is a #2 AT VERY BEST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I like Mason Raymond because of his speed. I think we should keep him and give him 82 games with Kesler and Hansen on the second line and he'll score 25 goals. Then have Booth and Higgins and Malhotra play on the shutdown line.

Renelsisc Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Raymond to MTL for ANYTHING would be overpayment by MTL hahaha. maybe Raymond/3rd for Moen? Sedins - Burrows Booth - Kesler - ________ Higgins - Manny - Hansen Moen - Lapierre - Kassian Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - ______ Salo - Tanev With Raymond/Luongo/Ballard possibly gone, that's $13mil right there for a top 6 forward and a top 4 D. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would be happy if Raymond was traded for a 6th round pick. This guy is absolutely useless. Has no strength, falls all the time, misses the net and fear to go in front of a goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 i take that deal any day. lol. tinordi will be as valuable as subban if his development continues the way it has. he has potential to be better than chara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Tinordi is what we need. A big mean player who can push other players around. But we also need speedy forwards like Raymond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 would be happy if Raymond could be traded for one of the L.A. big forwards or defensemen lower in their roster depth chart get a Trevor Lewis or Dwight King's rights for Raymond and punch a soft spot in their roster when he plays lol... or swap his RFA rights and a 4th or something for Simon Gagne; both guys could use fresh starts and Simon could be the play maker for Kes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Raymond is the ultimate asset. He is featured in 90% of potential CDC trades. We have only one chance to maximize return on this versatile trade-bait, and therefore we should target Sidney Crosby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 He'll probably have a Grabner-like season on any other team playing on their 1st line, then fade away. I've always thought Raymond plays the same style as Crosby - a skilled game, not much physicality and great skaters and vision. They skate very similarly and puck handle along the boards the same, but obviously Crosby is about a billion times better at everything than Raymond. If he can work on his strength Raymond is going to make a lot of CDC fans pissed off when he's tearing it up in 3 or 4 years time on another team. The kid still has potential to break out. I wouldn't mind him for 2 million playing on our 3rd line with Hansen, then drop him to the 4th line in the playoffs where he can be a sort of player who flies under the radar ala Gionta, Lewis, Bernier etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
