To Carolina

Alex Edler

 

To Vancouver

2016 1st Round Pick (LAK)

Roland McKeown

 

Edler would really solidify the Hurricanes defense.  He would slot in on the second pairing behind Hanifin and Faulk.

 

Hanifin Faulk

Edler Murphy

Slavin Wisniewski

 

I think that would be a good trade for both teams. Solidifies Carolina's defence while at the same time giving us room on ours for fresh blood. Not to mention how awesome it would be to have 2 first round picks in this deep draft.

 

Edler would have to waive his NTC. That's a big IF. I doubt he would unfortunately...

You never know.  A lot of Swedes on the Hurricanes roster.  Plus he'd be second fiddle to Hanifin and Faulk which would make him excell IMO.

Edler would not waive for Carolina and I'm certainly not doing that for LA's first, which will be at the very end of the round. Mckeown is not nearly good enough to offset the difference.

 

After what we saw around Hamhuis at the deadline and the Canucks not even answering Dallas about their last offer, do you think the Canucks would ask Edler to waive for a less than full value offer?

We can't afford to lose Edler unless we are getting a sure NHLer defensemen back. There is no way of knowing how Mckeown would turn out or perform immediately.

 

I would do that deal if you replaced Mckeown with Pesci or Slavin and if we added a mid round pick to entice Carolina though.

I'm always amazed at the amount of energy it takes to be so willfully ignorant. Surely there are better used for it?

At least I base my ignorance on facts, I see you just like to rant for the sake of posting, nice touch

1) Canucks need to be adding top-4 D-men, not subtracting them. McKeown and the 1st won't be ready to contribute regularly until the Sedins are done.

2) Edler, with his contract and cap hit, is probably worth more than a late 1st and a good (but not great) prospect.

3) Why would Edler waive for Carolina?

 

If Canucks are re-signing Hamhuis, then moving Edler makes sense - but I'd much rather go for Hamonic, if possible.

McKoewn is the sort of player who Benning has been picking up but he has been trading prospects or picks.

 

A mature asset in his prime like Edler if traded should net a top return.  How about a top 4 RHD for Edler?

 

Florida has too many right handers and not enough left handers.  Try Edler for Gudbranson or Petrovic?
