komodo1970 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I know this is a bit off topic, but I didn t want to start a new thread with an Edler thread already going. I was just wondering thoughts on a possible deal with Tampa involving Edler and Purcell as the principles. I think there is a possible deal here but don t know how to make it beneficial for both teams to pull the trigger. Neither player would be a rental for the other as both are under contract. I see Purcell as a great fit w either the Sedins or Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unsure if they can afford Edler though under the cap. They're looking more towards the Isles situation who are possibly going to lose McDonald. Which would leave the door open for Edler to go to the Islanders.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be oneplayer that I would overpay a bit for, because he fits all our needs. He helps now. He s got a lot of years left in him. He's a veteran and he s still under contract until the end of the 2015- 2016 season. Would Alex Edler and Brenden Gaunce be a temptation to at least get Tampa management looking our way?

Edler for Purcell alone is an overpayment, you want too add gaunce to that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALMO to BURE Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Agreed. Edler is worth more that Purcell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinP Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 not gonna lie, this trade proposal actually makes sense, and looking at Detroit's prospect pool and the prospetcs currently playing for them I could see this deal happening. In saying that, I think the first think Mike Gillis attempts to do with Edler is deal him to Colorado IF they are for sure interested in trading O'reilly, and if they are, Gillis is probably going to dangle Edler.

R3aL Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 How bout with all the reg re tool talk Edler Booth and Something small if needed (max schroeder MAX) for O'Reilly and PA Parenteau Than Kesler for Tatar, Mantha, Quincey and their 2014 1st Then in the offseason: Try and acquire a PMD Assign Shinkaruk Mantha Fox Gaunce and Jensen all to Utica Would be a huge boost for their fans and the team, also for their development spend the whole year there I think Fox-Gaunce-Jensen would be a good line And Shinkaruk and Mantha would be an offensively deadly dynamic offensive winger duo in the AHL, they would tear the league up while working on their defensive and board game. Horvat will make the club next season, feel it in my plums, another year of OHL would be a waste. Higgins and Burr would be great first line mates for him. next season forward line ups: Sedin Sedin PA Parenteau Tatar O'Reilly Kassian Higgins Horvat Burrows Weise/Sestitio Richardson Hansen Wingers are interchangeble. Next Season is the fun part: Sedin-Sedin-PAP Tatar-ROR-Kass Shinkaruk-Horvat-Mantha Higgins-Gaunce-Burrows Should be fine under the salary cap especially with it rising. Lui still in net. 3 scoring lines, and a checking line, I think we could roll all 4 lines Higgins and burrows would be able to mentor Gaunce just like they did horvat, Oreilly and Hank could mentor both as well. That would be a successful re tool in my opinion Giving up two olympians in their prime under fair contracts would have to yield a large return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Let's just stick to Edler for O'Reilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder__Bread Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 People either overvalue or undervalue Edler on here, it's gotten out of hand. I'm in no position to say his worth because it's constantly changing. All I can say for sure is that to get full value in a trade it needs to happen at the trade deadline. That's when Edler's value is at it's highest. There are exceptions to this, but most teams will pay a little more if it means they get into the playoffs. Remember hockey's a business, playoffs = $$$. Also Mantha is not enough. Look for a precedent with this kind of player if you want an indication of what Edler's value is. I can tell you Mantha is just the start.

Warhippy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I propose again. Edler 3rd and 5th for Mantha 1st and 2nd round pick and Jordan Tootoo or Mikael Samuelsson (to offset cap issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
