hudson bay rules Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Edler is inconsistent and doesn't deserve 5.5 or more. Yea he is our best blue line point producer, but he isn't a star dman that deserves that much. Dmen like Duncan Keith, Kronwall, Myers, Carlsson, Subban, and others, are much more consistent than Edler, and giving him their type of money (Talking about Keith essentially as he gets just above 5.5) doesn't make sense. He hasn't yet been able to shine above the rest like how the players listed above have, and I personally think he's overvalued on our team, though he is a solid dman, just not worth 5.5 This pretty much sums it up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I think edler is the dark horse to be dealt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bxQb Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Much more consistent? You have to consistently watch them on a nightly basis, which I doubt you do, to even make that statement. Subban being a perfect example of this: Over the last two seasons since PK has only been around that long .. he is not more physical than Edler, isn't as much of a shot blocker as Edler, hasn't tallied as many points as Edler and is a massive giveaway machine in comparison. So, he's better how, exactly? Because he shows more flash? Yeah, that's worked out so well for PK at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Deal him. We can get a lot back. Perhaps a Bobby Ryan in a 1 for 1 swap? Worst case scenario we let him walk, which would suck, but it wouldn't be the worst thing if he's asking for an arm and a leg. Plus we have prospects up and coming who are itching for a chance to prove themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eretz canucks Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Keep Edler. Sexy trade ideas, yes, but he is entering his prime, could become 60 point defenseman and could develop his D and become a shutdown guy. We don't know what his ceiling is.
