Proposal: Edler to Det

[Canuck Luck]

Would Detroit look into doing something like 33 and 36 for Edler? I'd love for the Canucks to walk out of tomorrow with 3 of Wilde/Berggren/Wise/Noel/Olofsson/Tychonick/McLeod

1. Edler wouldn't waive
2. That is a huge overpayment for what Edler is now
3. Detroit isn't competing

Detroit's taking two defenders with those picks, not a 32 year old wash up.

2nd round pick should be the trade target for Vancouver for Edler, but Detroit isn't the team that should be interested.

As for Edler waiving or not, he is entering the final year of his contract. So, if the Canucks are not bringing him back for another contract, then Edler should consider waiving, but only to a team that he can come to preliminary terms with on a contract, which he can sign on July 1, thus ensure where he will be for the final years of his NHL career.

So, it has to be to a team that wants Edler for at least 3-4 years in total. That's the only way he waives. But, it's been completely quiet on the Edler front. Absolutely no noise about any deals regarding him or other teams kicking tires.

It’s funny the people look at stats and don’t realize Edler is a far better overall defender than when he was putting up 40 plus points but a defensive sieve.

He’s a better defender now, and still paces 25-40 points.

I wouldn’t trade Edler for anything short of a 1st round pick if I were Van.

Ha!

That “wash up” would be Detroit’s best defender.

 

[Gemel11]

Lmfao this is gold

 

[Shaman464]

Ha!

That “wash up” would be Detroit’s best defender.

There are beer leaguers and U16 players that would at least be as good as the some of the defenders on Detroit. Just because he would be an improvement doesn't mean he'd be worth the price.

 

[Reddwit]

Ha!

That “wash up” would be Detroit’s best defender.

You do realize that's exactly the reason it'd be beyond dumb for Detroit to give up two high second rounders for him, right?

 

[manroth19]

Way to think about Detroit’s needs

36 and a smaller piece would do it. This is an overpayment.

Comedy.

He’s not washed up

Good. All the more reason to keep him.

I never commented on the proposal, or whether there’s a fit with Det.

I replied to an ignorant and incorrect statement another poster made about Edler.

It’s possible to say “there’s no point in Det trading for a veteran player like Edler, regardless of the cost, considering the stage the team is at” without pissing on a very capable player.

No worries there. No player would waive to live in a shithole like Detroit. Especially one who lives in Vancouver

No worries there. No player would waive to live in a ****hole like Detroit. Especially one who lives in Vancouver

Have u lived in Detroit before? How u know Detroit is ****hole ?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Detroit will get 2 D prospects with those picks, no thanks to ageing Edler, he wouldn't waive anyways.

This is ridiculously ignorant..
