Or tell him he can have 1 year 6 mill or go pound sand if he says no

True lol

I just don’t think having him around for 3 years at 2.3 is the worst thing

If he wants 3 years at say 4-5 per than direct him to the beach

Within the next two years there will be a lot of scenarios that could happen to avoid Edler being a 20+ minute guy

A prospect blossoms
A current Dman elevates his game
Free agent signing
Trade

I agree, but our D is currently in shambles. I don't think you fix it by riding yourself of your two best dmen and hoping.

Someone to take James Neal ? Lol

I think they would like to find a top 6 guy to be what they hoped Neal would be

Depth at D

I have no clue on the goalie situation ...Rittich is very inexperienced and smith is too inconsistent ...but what upgrade out there is available for the right price

As of right now 110 Dmen make $3 million or more per season, 91 make $4 million or more.

If you put “Gunnar” in the middle then it’s more realistic

It's a different situation, different position. Also, the twins weren't our two best forwards last year.

I wouldn’t give up a first for goalies that aren’t upgrades and just as inconsistent

If I’m giving up a first I want it to get something good like stone

He hadn’t been any better this year than our goalies and is a head case

We already have one lunatic in smith

Edler has pretty much consistently missed 15-35 games per season since 2012. That isn't going to improve in any way that it will help the club long-term. Lots of intangibles to consider it's just that the best option is to move on IMO.

Smith has not even been playing up to a replacement level player let alone league average. Howard, Bobrovsky, Leighton or Markstrome should all be huge upgrades for you.

But have any of those mentioned been better than Rittich ?

Look at his numbers

I’m not seeing this huge upgrade and wouldn’t want to give up much unless it’s worth it

I get the want to move on ...just have to make sure you replace him with another vet to help out with the young D coming up

Ricky had been playing well but I'd want a 1b as insurance if I was hoping to make it all the way to the cup rather then relying on a kid and a bum.
That's worth at least a 2nd don't you think?

Unless you don't think your team is good enough to compete in the west?
