Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Seems to Me like the Canucks are setting up their youth in an attempt to win the cup in 3-5 years (hopefully before the Sedins are gone). My point is the Canucks at this moment are looking towards their future right now instead of trying to stack up to try and win the cup while crippling our future. So Lets say Alex Edler agrees to head over to the islanders. They are starting to become a team that can contend and he would get top minutes. Islanders are looking to add to try and win now while we are trying to gain youth and win later so maybe a swap of this sorts. To Van: Reinhart, 2nd round pick To NYI: Alex Edler Sedin Sedin Kassian Jensen Kesler Burrows Booth Gaunce Higgins Sestito Richardson Hansen Hamuis Tanev Garrison Corrado Reinhart Bieksa Basically putting a vet with each younger D man Luongo Lack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hmmm, take out the pick and they may consider it. Throw in Schroeder as well. Not much incentive for Islanders though. If Edler was more of a complete player that could run their defence it would be more beneficial. Don't think they need a defenceman that just puts of points.

elvis15 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Isn't it the opposite? We're trying to win now and the Isles are building to win as their youth develops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Edler >> Reinhart now and I would say that if Reinhart could develop into Edler, he would be doing pretty good. I don't see the incentive for trading for a younger inexperienced defender that may or may not develop into something we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadiangunner Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Why would the nucks get rid of Edler for reinhart? How is the team any better?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 OP I'am loving that trade and it's better than 90% of the stuff that gets proposed on here. Both sides can benefit from a trade like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just wait for him to become and FA. Maybe he'll come here... I've ran into him a few times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 With the moves MG has been making it looks like the canucks are aiming to win 3-4 years down the road. We are getting young. Once Bo, Hunter, Nick and Brenden are developed we will have a better shot. This would let the sedins being in a more comfortable position. With seeing our forward group get younger I though why not get younger with D getting a similar young D type to edler who is also from BC. It was just an idea.

elvis15 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 A hickup with Derek Roy aside, haven't you watched the moves Gillis has been making the last 2 years? Gillis has been re-building since the Hodgson trade. The only players in danger of being over the hill in 2-3 years when Horvat, Gaunce, Jensen and Shinkaruk are all sniping and taking on big roles might be the Sedin's. And wouldn't it be a luxury to have them as your second line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
