Seannnp Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We got the best UFA dman available. great contract. term is decent. cap is much better than I would've imagined. He likely would've got 6.5-7 on the open market. No NMC in the last year allowing him to be exposed in the expansion. Credit to JB for not giving in and remaining steadfast in his position. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boziffous Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If 5 to 5.5 million a season turns out to be true then that's a real discount Edler took to stay with the team. I figured he'd be back but was thinking it would be about 6.5 mil a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salter Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Perfect deal, way to go GMJB!! No protection for expansion draft and (I think) 5.5m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 2 minutes ago, -AJ- said: I also think Edler is better than both those two players as of right now. Canucks could still be chasing at least one of those two players and could also be active in the trade market. At the very least, Edler is a veteran D who can eat him up hard minutes when he's healthy and contribute on offense as well. He shouldn't be relied on as the #1D anymore which is what I think the Canucks will try to address this summer. While the Canucks need to give Hughes and Juolevi solid PT this coming season, they also need more solid options to surround them. Re-signing Edler at a reasonable rate helps immensely with that.

Tre Mac Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Meh, not as excited as most of you(still think it's one year too long and a little too expensive) but could've been a lot worse. Welcome back Alex. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 YESSSSSSSSS, SO glad. We'd miss him big time. I also consider the Petey factor and the importance of having some Swedish big brothers to relate to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Edler is the guy that deserves the statue. What did Benning give up? Edler left money on the table and no protection clause that would have expansion consequences. This is what you call a loyal employee. He wants to be here and had all the leverage yet gave Benning a break here.

That is very good news. What are the odds Seattle takes him anyways at 36? I think it's unlikely unless they plan on dealing him as a rental. Smooth move Jim. I Love it!
