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

Gardiner and Myers will be aiming for seven years not five.
Yep and they will likely get it. I'd be shocked if Jimbo isn't right in there offering huge money to both.
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.

Ryan Henderson
@RJHenderson7
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
10:42 AM - 19 Jun 2019
..........................................................
Wow, I'm stoked..
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

Left side D
- Edler
- Hughes
- Hutton
- Juolevi
- Tryamkin (rumours he wants to come back)
- Brisebios
- Teves
- Sautner
My recollection was that Tree liked to play the right side, or was at least equally comfortable with either.

Hes only 24 years old. He hits like a truck and scores 40+ points consistently. The d-zone +/- stats might be more to do with being on a lottery team for 6 straight years than his play. I watched a few sabres games and he was an effective prescence back there. Not saying I'm an expert just that i would take those reports with a grain of salt

The plus minus problem with Risto goes back to 16 years old. That leads one to believe might be what they call uncoachable.
Does't mean worthless, just hard to place in the line-up.
A little older, (not much). Collin Miller would be where I'd look.

What a crazy roller-coaster ride. Sounds like Year 2 signing bonus was another critical part of closing. Great job by Rick on this.Elliotte Friedman added,
@DhaliwalSports
Certainly sounds like the #Canucks and Alexander Edler are closing in on a new 2 year deal. Sources say Edler gets a no-trade clause but can be exposed in the Seattle expansion draft.

Stay tuned for what it might be tomorrow. Or later today. Or in an hour.................

Now that's much better - well done in the poker game Jimbo, I wasn't sure you had it in you. A 2 year deal is just about perfect for a guy like Edler.
Time to go get a dman who is actually better than Edler now - this is offseason #6 for Jimbo and Edler is still their best dman. That's pitiful. Change on the back end has to be coming, so I do expect one or both of Tanev and Hutton to be playing elsewhere next year. Anything else and it would be coming back, once again, with the same basic blueline that has failed the past 2-3 seasons.

Hey Baubles, any truth to the rumour Edler also gets a 3rd round pick as part of his deal?

Hes only 24 years old. He hits like a truck and scores 40+ points consistently. The d-zone +/- stats might be more to do with being on a lottery team for 6 straight years than his play. I watched a few sabres games and he was an effective prescence back there. Not saying I'm an expert just that i would take those reports with a grain of salt
Risto is a good offensive dman, but he's one of the worst defensive players I've ever seen. The guy just doesn't get it, he's one of the major reasons why the Sabres are terrible defensively. Think Jovocop's brain cramps but multiple times each game.
That said, a RHS dman who can score is a big need so put him with Edler to cover up mistakes and he'd be solid depending on the return (i.e. no chance at the #10 pick).
I still have no idea who Colin Miller's name isn't out there - he's a good skater, scores almost as many points as Ristolainen (41 for each 2 years ago, while Miller had 29 in 65 games last year), RHS, decent size, signed for 3 more years at $3.875 million per versus $5.4 million for Risto, isn't wanted on his current team, is only 26, and Vegas has major cap issues. He's as close to a perfect fit as there is in the market.
