Now how about Tanev and a 2nd rounder for Risto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to seem overly critical - I much prefer your blueline to a whole lot of other proposed ones out there that include the likes of signing Gardiner. I'm too tired to reformulate my 'dream' blueline at the moment, but the measured version would be an Edler re-sign, perhaps a signing like Stralman, Tanev or a deal with a Cernak/Mayfield as the principal, and depending on Juolevi's readiness, I might move Stecher up the lineup to play with Edler in order to have a veteran D with Juolevi.... The dream big version would probably be a bigger deal than Tanev/Cernak/Mayfield, with a Ristolainen type (obviously depending on what prospect or pick has to be a principal in that deal). I like a plan that involves an older veteran placeholder signing to limited term and maximum flexibility, while providing the youth in the lineup with enough veteran support/sheltering for them to thrive. I also like the idea of retaining maximum flexibility because it is only likely to increase in value as the pressure and opportunities of an expansion draft approaches.

From what I’ve been hearing (rumours).. Edler has changed his stance and a 3 year deal 5-5.5 per with virtually no clauses and full exposure in the extortion draft, has returned to JB. I do like that, given Edlers familiarity with this organization, and the fact he has never played for anyone else, and quite possibly his last contract, Alex is “paying it back” fairly, he has done well here.. and hopefully still.. this gives him the opportunity to hoist the Cup, where ever that may be. He is a good vet. i would just love to see a more physical presence on our D to support a resurrection in his game, and not HAVE to play 20 mins a night with that weight on his shoulders. He and Tanev have been targets for 3 years.. it’s a simple offensive strategy. I still like Risto. I too, like you, like Bogosian. Is Tanev and our 10th pick too much for Risto? Bogozian? I think it starts the phone calls back and forth.. Risto was an 8th overall, Tanev fills a hole for Buffalo in the short term, and they have the bodies to protect and compliment Tanevs true form we saw a couple of years back on one of the Team Canada’s. id like to think that after this season, we aren’t warranted a lottery pick for where we place in this league,. Not for a decade at least I think of Risto as I always looked at EKanes time there,. Does not really want to be in Buffalo. ps. Zaitsev might be having that same oppression in Toronto. Heard that that Tryamkins agent was on 1040 .. very positive of Nik’s return,. But more than likely Feb 2020 after the regular KHL season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, just possibly, it's a little of both. Which is how negotiations work - give a little, take a little or you get nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Are we going to be reading a rash of "Edler won't re-sign with Vancouver" reports in 2 days from now? Most 'news' is no news at all nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont think Edler, who wears an A, hasn't mentored anyone who has come up through the system, you're high. Tanev Stetcher Corrado while he was here... Just to name a few.

It's not even the 3 year term without needing protection for the ED, 5-5.5 million is a friggin great deal. I personally would've been willing to give him far more money (for those who follow my posts would know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Edler hoist the Cup.. one way or the other. The ring of honour is nice.. but I’m sure champagne from The Holy Grail is better.

Schenn seems to be more forthright in that role the short term he has had (so far) with us.. Gudbranson was more vocal.. The one’s that are more vocal ( and possibly physical) usually have that presence. i don’t see it in Alex,. But his mentor Ohlund was,. Even Salo.

This would give him some protection but leaving it open for GM to protect other younger players. [edit] - ah, now I see the AM 650 report of a modified NMC.

Bruh, numerous young Canucks have flat out stated how important Edler has been to them in the room and on the ice. You're flat out Mayor of Wrongville on this one. Guy's a huge leader in the club.

Edler has been an influential player to Elias Pettersson, Troy Stecher, Chris Tanev, Ben Hutton, Erik Gudbranson. He’s a cornerstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
