He's just an overrated , average dman masquerading as a top 2. Glitter dust is washing off !
- Bullfrog77

I didn't even know that you where here! ! He's paid like a top 4 not a top two, if we had two 6.5 million dollar guys ahead of him and Tanev(say big buff and. ...???) He would look allot more glittery

Ps. Tell us what you really think of him?

Pretty sure I just did....even if he made 2 mil a season I'd trade him. There's nothing about his game I like or trust. Rather have a Dana murzyn type and just leave him by our net to push people around. Atleast he would do it. No fly past like Edler does...

I was thinking the same thing. If you had to crunch the cap numbers, I rather spend on a 5 mil 2nd pairing dman than two 2.5 mil 4th line wingers.

But I might have that wrong, WD might consider them on the 3rd line.

Up until recently, I hadn't seen anything to really biatch about when it comes to Edler this season. for the right return, I'd move just about anyone.

yeah, agreed. Both he and tanev would make a much more effective shutdown #2 pair then #1 pair. You Edler haters love to ignore stats, the fact is he is consistently solid, and if deployed for 22-24 minutes a night behind some better guys that can take on leadership roles he would be excellent as some guys handle having more responsibility better than others. The fact is teams get less shots when he is on the ice and he makes much more nice passes than the blunders you love to point out so much. Haters keep hating though.

Also agree with this, no one should be untouchable on this team if it means #1 picks or high end prospects.

Worst plus minus player in the entire league a season ago....worst dman on the ice last night. Not physical...at all not a good passer can't get his shot on net. Turnover champ slow in the head...makings of a real champ alright! I live with it just fine...you guys wonder why the defense is so bad, yet refuse to acknowledge it when it's staring you right in the -56 face ! Keep dreaming of edlers potential, and keep the excuses coming when he never delivers on it.

I have a feeling I know what he meant.

I take it he doesn't like Edler. I think he is saying you can find two scrubs to replace him. If he played like last night more would agree.

I don't think he is saying you will find two top Dmen for that salary.

When Edler got injured last time someone stepped in and kept it status quo in his absence.

Edler doesn't play like a top guy so I can see what he is hinting at.

Same, but that doesn't change the fact that he worded it poorly and people are making fun of him whenever they can. The fact is that I would rather trade Edler, if Hammer took a discount, and then sign Buff(if he will take no more than 5 years) and have
Hutton/Buff
Hammer/Tanev(or Hamonic if we can swing that)
Sbisa/Biega
Pedan

That looks like a much improved defense IMO.

You're right he had an awful year under torts, there were a few others guys that did the same... as far as career numbers go, he is a solid defenseman. This year has been pretty good, imagine if you guys only posted about him after a good game.... We would be talking about him much more I think.

Hutton is a liability right now, to think he is ready for top minutes next year seems a bit of a stretch. I'm all for him learning and growing in this lineup, but let's not get crazy here. The fact is, right now Edler is much more effective than Hammer. I want it to not be the case, cause Hammer is just a great guy IMO, but it is.

Alex Biega....18 games played is plus three. His rookie season. I heard a bunch of you say he was the best dman on the ice. What's his salary 850k ? Serviceable defence for the price no? Thanks Vantel , Atleast someone gets it.

He has 7 multi point game for the canucks
Points aside, when defenders have a good game, the other team doesn't score... that's about it. It's not real flashy, and it doesn't look great.

Maybe ...maybe not. But 850k is a lot better then 5 million no? Can do a lot with 4 million extra cap space
