It depends how aggressive they get. Like I said before , there is no excuse not to ask Edler at the end of the year to accept a trade. You can bring him back. He doesn't have to wear only one jersey in his career

Where were you at the start of last season?
I was shot down that it was impossible.
Foresight was better than hindsight 😂😂

Bullpoop, you make hard decisions and ask players to move just like he did with Bieksa and Garrison.

The only ones untradeable were the twins.

Agreed. I think Edler would've waived for a team like Detroit or the Rangers if pushed out.

Oh well.

I don’t believe there’s a set time it should take, there’s so many variables for each team.

Plus there’s an element of luck in the draft, it’ll have when it happens, if ever.

Simple math . The more chances you have with picks the quicker the talent arrives.

Hanging on to Edler at TDL is nuts. You can have him get a first round pick and re-sign him 4 months later. This loyalty to players that have not done anything exceptional is nuts.

seems like most here agree that benning/brackett can draft pretty decently...if that's the case then we should be loading up on picks. play to your strengths.

he's lucky morgan frost had such a good year after the year schenn had


schenn's trade value is higher today than it was a year ago

Yes I subscribe to that theory, sadly Benning doesn’t. Fifth last with six picks going into the draft, so far 😡

Oh really & where were you when i said force Edler into waiving? No where of course. Show up like a broken record daily though. JB this JB that...

I think the jury is still out on that.

you can't force him and threaten to waive him, the canucks would become a league-wide laughing stock amongst agents and players once word got out


but you can at least straight up tell Edler that he isn't in the long-term plans here and they would like to move him to get younger. Edler has gone on record saying that he'd be willing to move if he isn't wanted here. Or like Vantel said, just negotiate a contract under the table with Edler and his agent to re-sign him in the summer after a trade.

Blues did it with Keith Tkachuk, Leafs traded Winnik and Polak and signed them again.

You can't say to a player with two years left , accept a trade or be demoted. Especially when he is your best Dman

I agree no need to tell me that. Maybe the naysayers will listen & chime in. I suggested the same. Cue Lefty & another reworded JB rant 😂😂

You did say trade him without anything changed with 1+ years on his contract.

Go back & quote me on this demotion.
