Alflives Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 2 hours ago, mll said: Well Montreal got a pretty good D man in return too - one that plays the Therrien style. As for Jones - he was D5 in Nashville with Ekholm-Ellis being the 2nd pairing and Josi-Weber the 1st. Here this is about trading a 1st pairing D with no one in position to fill in for him right now. They want to shelter their younger Fs by playing them lower in the lineup but they would be willing to expose their younger Ds who have played even less games. If anything I see more a D for a D type trade. I can see Edler to the Oilers for RNH. That might not be a good move hockey wise, but it would sell tickets. I'm thinking about what the owner might be pushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Internal discussions are good. They should be considering any move to improve the team. But I think the timeline has to fit with Juolevi coming on board and looking ready for a full season. Our team numbers when playing without Edler in the lineup are brutal over the past two seasons.

WhoseTruckWasIt Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 "We talked about trading him and realized that we really can't". Maybe this isn't news. I'm confused by people commenting "if true,.....". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bottom pair of Zadorov and Tryamkin would be pretty menacing. Hutton Tanev Sbisa Gudbranson Zadorov Tryamkin Definitely one of the harder hitting D cores in the league. Not sure how much offense it would provide though. Get them to throw in Grigerenko too. Zadorov is future Sbisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't want Hammer, evidenced by our not even talking contract with him. This is why the entire article is bunk. We didn't "lose" Hammer. Well I valued and wanted him, so I guess I lost Hammer.

I do think his play had fallen off enough to where his minutes could be replaced by Sbisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 7 hours ago, DeNiro said: There will never be a good time to trade Edler as long as we're still trying to compete. The question management has to ask is are they willing to trade him while he still has value or not. I agree and disagree with the comment at the same time. I disagree in the sense that if you have the depth to replace him during the rebuild, it's a good time to trade him. I agree that now is not a good time as it's only potential replacing Edler. Yeah, Hutton and Tryamkin are looking good. But it's too soon to certainly say that they can replace Edler. Not a slight against either prospect...it's just too early to declare this.

HC20.0 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm not surprised if this has merrit to it. I remember in his end of year interview, Benning hinted that he was not impressed with Edler's play. Thay being said though, it'd be a horrible time to trade him, as mentioned. I'd Only do if we get another D back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 9 hours ago, RRypien37 said: The difference between Edler and being classified as a top guy is consistency. He has none. Push someone out of their comfort zone or their perceived level of ability and he's going to look inconsistent. I mean when your defending 25-30 minutes a night against Crosby / Ovechkin / other superstars they are also going to make you look inconsistent. He'd probably look good with a true #1 beside him or on the second pairing with less of a load to take on the superstars on. Anyways the main point here is that we still don't have a true #1 defenceman... so are you really going to push 3 or 4 raw rookie dmen into top 6 roles ? I don't think so. Hell I mean we finally have 5/6 spots filled with actual NHL caliber skilled defenders. Why not ride that into the season or 2 at the least. When Sedins contract is up then Edler has 1 more year left where he could be a great rental commodity or likely tradeable at the start of the season.
