I'm happy to have Edler, it's a little sad how he unceremoniously is no longer a Canuck, though. Did they have a farewell for him at the season's end? I'm sure he'll have a nice tribute this season when the Kings go to Vancouver.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with him as a bottom pair, roughly 18 minutes a night. Maybe have him play some PP.

Good team player who will help the young guys.

One year is ideal.

He's going to be amazing as a bottom pair vet, and can easily fill in on any pair for a few games.
But you dont want him anywhere near the PP anymore, just dont overplay him every single night like a top pair dman and watch him be steady af.

Look at tanev in cgy, and very likely Schmidt in wpg....

Thankfully Edler lived in western Canada. There was zero chance he randomly ran into Drew Doughty at a local Ontario rink over the summer and said hello once. He’s given the Kings no excuse to retry the Olli Maata experiment.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

One year stop gap but a million times better than Maata. Love it.

I hate it when someone like Maatta becomes the wiping boy! Nothing wrong with Olli! Plus not sure why Blake signed Edler to tell you the truth other than to be a mentor for young Bjornfot! That means the Kings have 10 D-men vying for 7 spots...Clague won't pass through waivers so they might as well trade him to the Seattle Kraken! Maybe take some of the many forwards we have on the bubble and package the lot I guess

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

People in Vancouver were carving up Edler same as the Kings were doing to Maatta!And Edler spent his whole bloody career there! That's gratitude for you

That's because he was their best defensive d man. He was their top pker. He won't play anywhere near the same minutes here as he did in Van

 

[Steve Zissou]

Let us not forget that Vancouver was an absolute train wreck last season... not only heading off the cliff but with the locomotive on fire then causing an explosion heard 'round the league.

You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows.

 

[HookKing]

Mentor for Bjornfot, Morverare, and co.

Yeah, would love to see him turn Moverare into his own replacement. I think they're both from the same hometown too.

Has Doughty declared Edler his favorite defensive partner yet?

Has Doughty declared Edler his favorite defensive partner yet?

"Eagle is amazing, like really amazing. He's so solid on D, I think he actually be better than me at it. He does so many little things, he's so easy to play with"

I need to know what Wayne Gretzky's evaluation is before I can pass judgment

 

[Choralone]

I need to know what Wayne Gretzky's evaluation is before I can pass judgment

"He's better than me now," Wayne Gretzky.

Or maybe that's what Stephen King said after reading Edler's latest horror novels. I dunno.
