He said...."Hearing VAN and Edler closing in on three-year deal that will not have a clause preventing him from being exposed in the expansion draft" So does that mean that Edler can be exposed or not? ... it's pretty plain English. if it does NOT include a clause to PREVENT a thing from happening, then the thing can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Bang Boogie Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Also a better price than overpaying for Myers or Gardiner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term never bothered me and even less so now that the cap hit is significantly lower than he would get on the open market (thought he might hold out for more without the full clauses). No expansion protection to boot... It's the right way for him to become less relied on as his career begins to wind down. In a nutshell: We'll have out veteran/experienced D mentor, who is a career Canuck, at a price that will likely never be a problem (while still being our #1/2D for next season). Anyone that has a problem with that while we are trying to build our new D is crazy. Yes this is a good deal Edler, 5.5 million x 3 years modified NT clause so we can expose him in expansion draft.....Now we can trade Tanev now... Sign one of Gardnier or Myers hope term is no longer then 5 years @ 6.5 Million... Really think Juolevi 6'3, 21, will be top 3 D guy very soon along with Hughes, Edler, Stetcher, Hutton, Schenn #6 or 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I think this is a solid signing, especially if the dollars are true, and we are getting him at 5 to 5.5 M per I called the terms yesterday...…..NTC / NTC / Limited NTC in the 3rd...…..makes perfect sense!

BCNate Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Even 4x5 would be a great deal. We had one of his best years of his career last year and just turned 33. At 37 should still be a pretty solid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back Alex. it's .5 million more than he makes now with a modified NMC, but no NTC. It's a great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I’m glad it’s edler and not Myers or bogosian or zaitsev. that said. We still signed a guy that plays 60 or less games and our d still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJVD Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Wow, fantastic deal. 3 years at 5.5 is surprising low $, I'm sure he'd be getting 6+ mil offers at longer term on the open market. Even if it's 4 years, still a decent deal. The modified NMC is perfect too. I'm really happy with this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they're out of that yet, still looking for at least one maybe two top-4 dmen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
