Can't wait until this guy is not a Canuck anymore..

He's NEVER played even close to his potential..

Trade him for someone who actually cares

Never played to his potential as a 3rd round pick?

Or never played to the unrealistic expectations of some Canucks "fans"?

I don't even understand why so many want him out of here, yes he had a poor season, but he's still a big dman that can hit hard and has a very hard shot. He just needs to tighten up defensively and he's easily one of the top defensemen in the game. He's 27 now and is hitting his prime years soon.

Should've never been suspended anyways. Staal was hurt because he pivoted his right leg last moment from his backhander before his collision with Edler. People say Edler never strayed from his course so he deserves the suspension is non-sense. He had no reason to. Watch the video from 0:43 on:

Torres served out his playoffs suspension into the next season. Makes sense that Edler hadn't served his full term yet. We all knew it might happen.

It's just too bad Eric Staal flying into Edler's knee and Edler being a rock means a suspension for him. As soon as someone gets injured, any inkling that he was the one who was being a dumbass goes straight out the window. Hockey players need to get back to keeping their heads up.

If Sweden does well in the first 2 games, there's a good chance that Edler might not even get slotted into the lineup until they start slumping. Swe has a good group of defencemen even without Edler and in such small number of games, he might not even get to play at all.
