I think his offense was steller and his ability to change the game with big hits and emotional play was the best we have seen here in Vancouver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, clearly the deal would be based on whether the Canucks know they can sign him. Based on Trouba's play however, the Jets would understandably command a strong return when they trade him.

I agree to a certain extent, but I disagree that we would retire his jersey. And herein, I think, lies the issue atm: Eddie likely feels the same (jersey retirement-esque treatment) and is upset that management does not.

Schenn was an $800,000 one year (expiring) contract. You pretend to dismiss all D contracts / every pro scouting move - but ironically you are (like your commments on limiting clauses) too lazy to google the facts / don't know the actual terms of players.

True, if you believe contracts are based solely on age? Edler's performance and health have been worse than Chara's and in decline. At Edler's current age, Chara was not in decline and was a force deserving of a better contract. Edler's health/injury status and decline in performance should result in a contract that in no way handcuffs management going forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I expect to happen if edler takes his 60 games per year elsewhere. i agree in that edler is a big minute man and Myers would be that replacement. so essentially we could have an addition by subtraction scenario play out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy that, necessarily. Edler was a beast for a good chunk of the year last season and when he was out, they were awful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
