Oh OK we're on the same page then.
Yeah this same discussion has been going on for a while, and it's quite bizarre. NTCs screwed the team so we couldn't trade anyone! *trades several players with NTCs including ones who didn't even want to leave*.
Maybe I just jumped into the convo late....your post made it seem like Jim was saying waive the clause or you don't get an offer from us even in July. Edler's agent would laugh in their face.
Jim won't even pretend they don't want him, they know they need him, Edler's camp knows they need him.
I can't vote in the polls for some reason, but I'd never go into the 4 year range....I can't even view the results of the poll...what option is winning?
Yeah, if the ultimate plan was trade then re-sign, they couldn't let that cat out of the bag. They needed to treat him like Garrison. At the end of the day I'm not that worked up over retaining him...until we see the contract at least.In other words, if Jim had any hope of trading Edler, or Edler doing anything different than he had already done, he needed to take away Edler's hope of returning first. Then, everything shifts.
....
Jim was pretty coy about bringing Edler back earlier on this season. He also asked Edler to waive his NTC and Edler refused. Given that information, it appears that Jim wanted to explore the route of asset return over player retention. That was his displayed "need" for Edler until now.
For his part, Edler chose to lean on his NTC and put JB to a dilemma: Let Edler walk for nothing or re-sign him (the initial options Jim was probably considering). It's still Benning's choice to choose to operate within that framework. The only way outside of that framework is to seriously consider letting Edler walk for nothing. That was something he was unprepared to do.

Where was this stated?
Sounds like its facial plus possible concussion. Good news is his leg/knee doesnt seem broken. Looked like he was wearing an air cast when he was strechered off.
Get well soon Eddy
I doubt this injury is serious. Edler will conveniently out for 3 weeks to allow the trade deadline to come and go without any speculation to as why Dim Jim didn't try and seek a trade and then re-sign him July 1. Then he'll be re-signed soon after. Easiest route for a player who doesn't like change and loves the comforts of the country club culture of Vancouver and an owner/GM who is scared of actually rebuilding. Could of seen this coming a mile away.
