Rush17 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Would it be completely unreal for us to land someone like Victor Hedman? Or do you think a deal might be feasible if we tossed them a package with either Kesler or Edler? It would obviously need to be a big package but he could in theory be the d man we need. Hes got great size at 6 6 and he has great offensive upside. Just wanted to get a feeling of what you guys think it might take it have TBL to even consider this.

Rush17 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Its fun to discuss these things even as unrealistic as it may be :D. He is Swedish after all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Highly doubt it. Hedman slumped early in his career and just broke out last season. Edler broke out early in his career but started slumping the past few seasons. Both are trending in complete opposite directions and don't think they'd trade him for anything really.

YEGCanuck Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 A better question may be, do we really want/need Hedman? He is a big boy who definitely has some natural talent, however the little I know about tells me he may have been over-rated in his draft class. My first priority would be to strengthen our third and fourth lines in terms of speed, skill and grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I highly doubt it unless we greatly overpay to pry him lose, and it's not worth it to do that. It would have been hard before he really broke out offensively this past season, but now it'd be near impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Tampa needs to improve defence more than forwards... so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Those are some good points peeps :D Just wanted to bring it up that does make sense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nobody wants Edler as of now, plus let's let him increase his trade value since it is at an all time low. TBL will not get rid of Hedman after the impressive season he has had. Also doesn't TBL lack defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
