When Hammer left, it was essentially him and Tanev. Edler is our Ekman-Larsson. Great d-man that played for a bad team for a long time. I think Luongo, Edler, and the Sedins were the best players on the team for way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first thought it was silly, but thinking about it it's not a bad idea. Sounds like Edlers camp wants 4 years, but will probably settle for 3. They are figuring $5 million per season. But what if management offers Edler some crazy money in exchange for a 2 year deal? He was suggesting $7.5 for two years ($15 million either way). This means Edler is a security blanket in case some of our young defensemen don't develop right away. And will be off the books by the time EP40's entry level deal expires. A reasonable idea except that Boeser+Edler could get pretty expensive in that case. Not a bad idea in all though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreger is full of $&!# half the time. Dhaliwal's track record is nowhere near as flimsy as Dreger's. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was saying the same earlier.... No sure he'll bite, but agree totally... in two years he can, (if he wants to), be re-signed for low dollars making the cap more manageable... He probably wants 4-5 years at 4.5-5... some serious negotiation to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks cannot afford tying themselves up especially with the Seattle draft coming. I am hoping that in year 3 Edler will be on the 3rd pairing playing a vital shutdown role. There is no one on the roster right now how who plays a more punishing game, Guddy included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet this is the one sticking problem right now, i hope the canucks don't do something stupid and give it to him i would rather see him walk at the end of the year.

I would be okay with it if Eddie is willing to take a massive discount...say less than $5M per year. Otherwise I'd really like to avoid a NMC in his 3rd year. I agree that it's probably the sticking point right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hit to take for us, hence why I'd only be okay with it if we got a big discount on Edler's pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one on the roster right now how who plays a more punishing game, Guddy included. I hope you’re right with the term, but I’m not sure he’ll sign a contract without a full NMC. In the end if its dollars give him a big number to sign a short term deal. But I do fear they will end up giving him a longer deal in order to make him stay.

Mathew Barzal Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Give Edler the big bucks, whatever it takes to avoid a NTC/NTC. 3 years tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with a NTC but not a NMC. Perfect world 2 year deal ineligible for expansion draft followed by another 1 or 2 year deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not gonna lie, with Edler being out, I forgot how good he was. Seeing him play tonight reminded me of how good he really is for us. What a game defensively and offensively for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
