Edler is 6"3 (did I type that correctly? 6 ft 3 in)
No the correct form is 6'3"

I dont think Edler is considered a tough or mean or bruising or hard to play against dman regardless of statistical height
he simply isnt what we lack or what we need
our problem is a lack of high impact forwards in particular ones with size(and not just on paper)
He also makes defensive mistakes galore. Bieksa is the #1 defensive defenseman on that team.
Do we want another offensive defenseman?
I'd rather trade for Kesler.
Edler isn't a true #1 d-man.
I'm fine with Kronwall, Big E, DD, Kindl, Smith as our core moving forward with XO and Sproul on the way.
I looked at cap geek today and the salary cap actually decreased for next season? does current contract get prorated or stays same?
I expect alot of movement if it does not get prorated. also I expect alot of teams to get weaker next season excluding us.
Edler would be a welcome addition to the team. Imagine something along the lines of:
Edler-Ericsson
Kronwall-Dekeyser
Smith-Kindl(hopefully these two improve in their own end.)
I don't think you can get Edler without at least giving up Smith or Kindl to start. Heck, might even cost you Dekeyser instead.
This is absolutely true? Who would you give up in a deal for Edler? I've been defending Kindl all season, but I'd lean toward him, personally.
The problem will be is who does Vancouver want. I would think they would target Tatar along with Smith/Dekeyser in any deal for Edler with us. Not high on trading any of those players and that is the problem. I can see trading Tatar in the right deal, but the additions at that point become a little murky considering I think he is a very good asset.
its decreasing and no its not pro-rated
