Friedman: Uptick on Edler calls

[Canucks LB]

New story on The Athletic, not allowed to post to here to bypass pay wall, so go take a look.

Basically there’s been a big uptick in the calls for Edler.

It’s getting the media in Vancouver into pretty big frenzy

Of playoff teams, Montreal and Winnipeg need a top-4 LHD the most

 

[Mersss]

Edler could be a solution for the Habs if the price is right...

What are Nucks fans looking for?

2nd pick + B prospect like Tyzcka, Fleury, McShane
?

Why is this labeled as a Friedman article?

Of playoff teams, Montreal and Winnipeg need a top-4 LHD the most

I think Winnipeg makes the most sense of those 2, especially with Edlers ties there somewhat.

I would be shocked if an oft injured Dman with a no trade clause he has stated he won't sway from got traded. Not sure why this keeps coming up...

He is always injured - who would risk assets on a player with a 50% chance won't be on your roster?
He got a no trade clause for a reason - Edler seems to have no interest in going to a new city for a chance at a cup.

Don't bother responding to this post if you disagree.

 

[Nizdizzle]

Can you post a link to the article or something?

 

[ottomaddox]

Sorry.

Read that as "upchuck".

 

[Foppberg]

I can't picture him leaving tbh.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Edler has said time and time again he will not waive his NTC. As much as fans would love to get something for him and then give him a 1-2 year deal in the offseason, it would take a miracle for him to waive.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

What is his contract situation?

Detroit?

I disagree, here is my response.

What would Detroit want with a D-man about to turn 33 coming off a concussion?

 

[kanucks25]

Highly unlikely this happens, especially since he's still out with a concussion.

Both sides have shown interest in Edler staying in Vancouver in a mentor/shelter role.

Typical Habs fan junk

Unless he can prove he can stay healthy, he's def not worth much more than that!

Not a single team will hand out a 1st for a d-man who's going to play 1 game out of 2 due ton injuries

 

[polarbearcub]

Highly doubt edler gets moved. As long as they are in a playoff race.

Even if the Canucks told him they have no interest in re signing. I still don’t think he would waive this year

We could probably find something better than that. Doubt there's a match here (and he won't waive anyways).

Most appealing thing from the Habs system is Brook but no way in hell you guys take that.

 

[A91]

Same. He has 796 games played with them, would be weird to see him in another jersey.

Okay then we keep him, it's not rocket science.

He's our best Dman and we take 2 steps back if we trade him.

If the offers fair or not are at best what you proposed then we hang on to him and sign him long term to usher in and stabilize our upcoming D core of Hughes Woo Juolevi

For sure

I do not see a team handing away their top prospects for a guy like Edler.

Hence why the trade, if traded, would possibly consist of picks and B prospects (not a 1st tho IMO, see the Petry trade)

 

[Avs44]

The article is here

- It's from LeBrun, not Friedman
- Says calls have started to come in a "little more frequently"
- Canucks and Edler still talking extension. Ultimately up to Edler to decide if he wants to waive his NTC if Benning gets an offer he'd be willing to accept

This is a joke right? Lol...

The conversation STARTS with a 1st.

 

[Mersss]

Perfect for us, and the other GM'S

He's just not worth a top prospect or a 1st round pick at this point in his career!

 

[Mersss]

No it doesn't.

Injury prone, slowing d-man aren't worth a 1st!

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Doubtful this happens.. just to stir up interest in van. Don’t be fooled lol!
