19naslund19 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Detroit could use that type of player to add some grit in the East. They have some young talent that has been discussed here many times. Curious if CDC thinks such a dominant win by the Bruins would light the fire for a potential trade with the Nucks? Kesler would go to DET I am sure.

Xbox Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 CDC Logic. Team gets kicked out of the playoffs, they will go all out for Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrChill Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Detroit is fine at center. They need better defence.... Edler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 No. But a pit or Ana loss would increase trade possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Detroit doesn't strike me as a team that panics. My hope is Philly gets ousted and they go all in getting Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Detroit is fine at center. They need better defence.... Edler Pitsbearg was intrested in playing him on the wing if they got him, as with the Canucks if they could land a second line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 You can put Tampa Bay, Pitts, Anaheim, Philly and a few teams like Toronto that need a star player like Kesler/Edler to give them that extra push Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 If we could flip Edler for Smith and a first I would be happy to get rid of that contract. Smith would be a serviceable bottom pairing with Stanton, Tanev is already better than Edler and should move into the top 4. With that pick I would look at a couple players from the Sarnia Sting - Goldobin and DeAngelo. Both players are offensive juggernauts who play on a horrible team. I can see Goldobin being the steal of the first round. Scouts absolutely rave about his passing ability. Unfortunately for him there aren't a whole lot of players who can finish on Sarnia. He is a pure offensive player but is lacking in the defensive/physical part of his game, hence the 24th ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm sorry, but adding Edler to any defense right now is no improvement. they certainly wouldn't over pay to get him either (assuming Edler would even waive to go to DET) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 And inarguably the Canucks worst defender this season.For sure, no argument there but that doesn't wreck his value especially when Torts admitted he failed with Edler. Team Sweden picked Edler over Hedman, so he's not worthless, Edler is a top 3 D on most teams in the NHL and his value will reflect that. Just because he sucks here doesn't mean he sucks.

higgyfan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Detroit isn't a good trading partner as they are in too similar a situation. They are trying to get younger, so they won't be trading any of their decent prospects/rookies. Kesler isn't going to make them a contender, so I think they continue to develop their youth. They have the cap space to bring in 1 or 2 UFAs if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 How is it that Edler was as good as he was with Sweden, but so bad on the Canucks? Is it the coaching? Both Tortorella and Vigneault couldn't get through to him. Is it the lack of a proper partner that plays to his strengths? There would have to be a trade of another defenseman to get Edler his proper RH partner. Garrison buyout? Hamhuis has chemistry with Tanev, as does Bieksa with Stanton. Edler and Garrison are the odd men out. Edler has a more accurate shot and plays with far more physicality. If Edler refuses to waive, this off season should concentrate on getting him a proper partner. If he still sucks next season, then all avenues have truly been exhausted.

Edler is better than a lot of CDC folks think. Torts did fail him, as did MG for not bringing in a PMD. If the Canucks could somehow get a guy like Niskanen, Edler would improve his game mightily. Otherwise, it will be a long wait for Subban to make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
