Alex Edler- What happened?

[ProstheticConscience]

Scratch him once all the D are back. Seriously.

This. Another horrid outing tonight. Ballard lands in the press box for a lot better games than Edler played tonight.

People actually believe this guy is a top 10 d-man in the NHL, he has a lot of holes in his game and can't shut guys down so I don't see how that's possible. He has been VERY overrated in this city for a long time.

Edler might have a high ceiling, but Hamhuis> edler.

And hamhuis is not even a top 10 dman.

Cut him to 22 minutes a game, I guarantee we will see the old Edler.

Well any Edler version of the past 5 years will give us 35+ points, so the one who was also half decent in his own zone vintage 2010 and earlier.

Even if you don't want to give me that, the Edler who was semi-passable defensively.
