A.V.'s slurp Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I believe Bettman has already said they may do the Seattle ED differently. Didn't like all the bargaining power Vegas had. But that was just what an insider was saying, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we do re-sign Edler, I'd not be shocked to see him exposed either if we need the protection slot as he'll be pushing 34 by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the great things he's done, I feel like his loyalty is a bit of an achilles heel at times. He could have exposed one twin (or both) to the EXD last year and protected Sbisa........no one was going to take either Sedin, so long as they agreed. If they re-sign Edler, do they stay loyal and protect him or expose him and make sure a younger guy is protected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s also why LE has to be protected. Also, you only get 3 defensemen to protect. If they hadve protected 4, they only get to protect 4 forwards (Bo, Sedins, LE) and the Canucks likely would have lost either Sutter or baertschi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV was not going to take one Sedin players negotiate for NMCs so they don't have to be asked. @Canadian Clay Loui's no movement protection is over at the end of this season. In his deal it is now a full NTC for 2 years, then a modified NTC (15 team list) for the last two. He's going to be on the Seattle exposed list for sure if he's still here, but I could also see a trade being possible if he doesn't want to end up in Seattle and wants to pick a new spot to go to. But he may be just fine with Seattle too. He'd be a great player for an expansion team. He could pass on defensive skills to the younger guys, and his actual salary will be lower than his cap hit, thats pretty much ideal for an expansion club.

Keep your expectations low people, he's going to need to adapt to the NHL and isn't going to be the next Boeser. Let him play, learn and be ready for a big offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
