Keep Gardiner the fuck away from here hopefully too

I like Gardiner's game more than Edler's overall, but Gardiner is getting $7-$8 million not $5.5 so it's apples to oranges. With Hughes and Elder taking most of the left side minutes I'm not sure there's room for Gardiner as well. Juolevi could make some noise there too.

Still lots of time for Jimbo to overpay a guy like Myers given he's a right shot, especially if the rumours Tanev is available are true.

Especially since it's Edler at 3 years and Garnder and Myers will be aiming for 5+ years..

If this is how it shakes out, AWESOME contract for JB, amd good on Edler!!!

Gardiner and Myers will be aiming for seven years not five.

Friedman now reporting it might be a 4 year deal - if so it changes the deal for me. 4 years is too long for Edler, he's already slow and injury prone so what do you expect him to be at 37?

I guess if the cap hit is low enough it's ok, but he should not get 4 years. Then again, Jimbo gave a 33 year old Jay Beagle a 4 year deal and he just scored 3 goals in his first 57 games with the team, so what could go wrong?

It's just one of likely a few moves to come, so perhaps Jimbo will do something else to put this into a better context.

Yep and they will likely get it. I'd be shocked if Jimbo isn't right in there offering huge money to both.

Left side D

- Edler
- Hughes
- Hutton
- Juolevi
- Tryamkin (rumours he wants to come back)
- Brisebios
- Teves
- Sautner


For next season, trade Hutton now and promote Juolevi? Keep Hutton and store Juolevi in Utica?

With how thin the right side is, the rumours of trading Tanev are bogus

Tanev
Stecher
Schenn
Biega
Woo
Rafferty
Chatfield

He’d better not be. These guys are both worse players than Edler. They could end up being this summer’s Eriksson and Lucic. Take the cheque book away for anything longer than three years Francesco.

So this change of heart resigning Edler could be a sign of the Canucks not liking their chances with UFA D this summer.

Ya, well, every ones getting into the act today...

Todd Diamond, Nikita Tryamkin's agent, just now with @DonnieandTheMoj offered a bit of an update on Tryamkin..
- Today better than 50% chance he returns to #Canucks
- Feels much better about current #Canucks team than the one he left
- His KHL contract expires April 30 2020

Sure hope thats the case. Edler is better than every single pending ufa remaining so why not ride his loyalty into a team friendly cap hit?

Or...they've got a trade or 2 lined up which will absorb our remaining cap space

Really??

With Edler signing there's no need for another LHD (Gardiner).

Maybe Myers (if Jets don't re-sign him) but I feel Jimmy will land his RHD in a trade.

I'd say thats accurate as well. With Tanev apparently on the block it sure smells like a substantial right side piece is coming in soon. I would say its quite possible to be Ristolainen

Risto has 3 more years @ 5.4/yr.
I can see the 10 OA going out and RR coming back

I'd love it to be Risto, depending on the price of course.

So a 51 % chance he might come back. These jocksniffers are so desperate to break a story.

The guy apparently is a trainwreck in his own end. I’d rather chase Tyson Barrie if you are throwing that pick around. He is only average in his own zone but he’s a much better offensive player than Risto
