You are so right - it is always about the cup and in this case, it is about Edlers’ cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably remembered the plethora of clothing stores in Rodeo Drive and made his mind up then. He could still go to a contender if the King's are out of it by the trade deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Sounded like Vancouver offered 3M or just over 3M to keep him, very strange, but maybe he was sick of all the turnover and wanted a change before retiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA's defense really isn't that good outside of Drew Doughty. Edler will instantly slot into their top 4, 1 year older and 1 year slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their young player groups are average at best. Well, we know how that plays out. Interestingly, so does Edler. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's already checked out and is now doing part-time work, only to pass the time, and not necessarily pulling in the same direction as the team. I disagree. I am glad the Canucks did not sign Edler to the contract that he received, and am happy that he has moved on. Where I disagree with you is that he chose to go to a place that would fit his lifestyle, and a place that he felt was right for his family. I'm sure he'll bring the same work ethic to L.A. that he had here. At no point did I ever feel that Edler "checked out" while he was here. Is he the same player that he used to be? No, but still a very useful defenseman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem strange, but I suppose like he said, it just wasn't a fun year and he needed a change. That's fine... no hard feelings. What I find especially strange though is that he blocked a trade out of Vancoiver, but then jumped ship. I understand as a UFA he was able to go where he wanted and on his own terms, but he would have been able to anyway now that his contract ended. Simply didn't want the hassle in the meantime? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
