To be fair, a very solid 11 years and counting career as a #2D is not exactly, not panning out. Would him being a multi Norris winning legit #1D have been better? Sure. Completely agree with you here. Edler has had a solid career and I would love to have him back. But there were some people that saw him as #1D, and the media overhyped him as second coming of Lidstrom. Edler did look like he was on his way to becoming something special. 42 points in 2009-2010 season as a 23,24 years old. It did look like he would become a 50-60 point player during his prime years. I think back injury stunted his development and he plateaued into #2/#3 Dman rather than a #1 D. Still very good player and we need him moving forward as we integrate some of our youth into the lineup. To be fair, only Hughes and Juolevi has a legit shot at becoming better than him at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I know what you mean, and I truly hope that he signs with us before next seasons draft. It's just that His brother Jack stated he would love to play on the same team as Quinn(Canucks) Jack is the consensus #1 pick next year, I think it is pretty obvious that they would want to play on the same team Quinn could hold out , become a F/A and then sign with whomever wins the lottery and picks Jack. It would sure help me out if we won the lottery or traded up to #1 to end up with both Hughes brothers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like they did everything possible to make that happen. In fact, they seemed to shy away from the idea of playing together. Either brother could have opted into the other's team.

Kootenay Gold Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It is my guess that the Canucks management will try and get Quinn signed very shortly after his college season is over and even more likely before the 2019 draft comes around.

I think holding out is more common among lower draft picks, but for first round picks that have the chance to crack the roster before draft + 2 years, they would be foregoing a lot of salary just for the chance to play with someone they like. If Quinn Hughes holds out, then he has to stay unsigned for 4 years (if I'm not mistaken). So he would have to stay in college until the end of draft + 4 seasons and only gets a chance to make the NHL starting draft + 5 season. At which point, I think he can only sign an ELC deal (850K + bonus for 3 years). So that's 7 seasons before he even becomes an RFA and a chance to make millions. In the meantime, his younger brother Jack makes the NHL right out of the gate and Quinn is just sitting in his college dorm room, watching his brother live out his dream of playing in the NHL. On the contrary, if Quinn signs with us at the end of Michigan's season (as Boeser and Gaud did), he burns one year of his ELC. By the end of draft + 3 seasons he would hit RFA status and a chance to make whatever he is worth. So starting from draft + 4 season, he is set to make millions vs 850K. Just look at Boeser, he will sign for at least 6 mil as long as this season is a repeat of what he did last season. If he somehow puts up 40+ goals, then we are looking at 7+mil. If Quinn is as advertised, he will commend at least 5-6 mil as an RFA. If he comes in and scores 50+ points during his ELC years, he is gonna get paid. So no. I don't worry about holding out. There's just too much to lose for the player. If they really want to play together, they can sign as UFA when they are 28 years and have already made enough money to be content with.

Quin said he was really looking forward to playing in Vancouver and indicated that he would likely sign next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
