[Eklund] Canadiens discussing with the Canucks for a defenceman


Recommended Posts

He has ample time.I love the player,but when it comes to playoffs he's a no show...I want a cup,and right now we are going into next season,pretty much the same.

He can garner the most,out of the guys most look at dealing..only reason you look at it

Reality is

1. Edler and Subban would make one hell of a PP Duo, both have great shots gives mtl alot of depth at the pp point

2. Edler's cap hit is a steal

3. Just as we over rate players we gang up on them alot in Vancouver. Lou, Edler even Booth taken a beating.

4. I really don't want to see Edler moved unless we get a player of Galchenyuk calibre back, we already gave away our best young player in schnieder, we don't need to do it with our 2nd best.

I like Eklund as much as the next person, but some of the trade proposals in this thread are absolutely ridiculous. The names being thrown around have no connection or practicality, it really makes you wonder about the hockey knowledge of some of the fans on the site...

Markov is aging and he will be gone soon within a few years, they need a left handed powerplay specialist if you will. Edler somewhat fits the bill but I don't think he's a powerplay specialist as of yet, I believe it's more to boost their D core.

The only reason I can see MTL wanting edler is because after this season they lose many players to free agency (e.g Markov,) and Subban is again a RFA. Supposing MTL has pay structure in mind and Subban demands big $$$, the situation with their top 4 could be a nightmare. Picking up Edler now would give their D stability long term. And Edler is a big strong D man they could use for sure (but so do the Canucks don't they?).

Canucks would have to demand someone like Gallagher back.

Edler for Gallagher and a pick?
