Canucks 2021 Hog Pete Boeser Motte Bo Pod Loui Miller MaK Rous Beagle Lind Myers Hughes Edler Schmidt Woo? Juolevi This lineup is flaming hot garbage and we would still be up against the cap. Remove Edler from it and I think it may qualify for the worst squad the Canucks have ever iced. ya like trades dont happen plus expansion willfree up money 700k-6mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check your math, that lineup is nowhere near the cap, unless you are giving everyone ridiculously massive raises. Why are we demoting JT Miller to the 3rd line?

BCNate Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Edler isn't going anywhere. He will be re signed on a team friendly retirement deal to finish out his career with the Canucks. My guess is 2 x 3mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'd love to see Edler retire a Canuck. I would have loved to see Bieksa retire a Canuck too, but sadly that never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think he retires a Canuck and deserves too, best all round and most consistent defenceman we've ever had (and may have for a long time, don't see Hughes doing what Eddy has done apart from points). I think the respectable thing would be to resign him to a bunch of 1 year deals maybe at 3-4M and let him play 15 mins (lots of PK time where he doesn't have to be too speedy) on our bottom pairing. He can really help Juolevi (and Chatfield and likely another rookie D from the draft) next season and he's still got some game in him (although is slowing down as the season goes). We can still get some quality out of him yet but certainly not 20 minutes a night next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostsOf1994 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 If Edler makes it to UFA would any other NHL team offer him a contract longer then 1 year @ a time? Doubt it at his age. Edler has stated he does not want to be traded, period. Several times. Stop. Trading. Edler. GMJB may end up turfed this next off season and i doubt Aquilini is going to allow any signings until it's clear that the canucks won't be making the playoffs.
