Canucks Contracts

[Cousin Strawberry]

Schmidt will be a godsend as far as Edler's durability goes. He will be doing the heavy lifting now so Eddy can settle into a reduced roll. Watch him have a great year with the reduced work load

[theman]

I could see doing a 1 year deal at 3 mil after this one but wouldn’t be too keen on it. At his age I think 2 mil is more fair value. also why I would like to bring in a Vatanen or Harmonic on a 1.5 this year, see how they go and choose the cheaper option for next year. This is assuming of young guys do step up and can fill any potential void.

Lol why have two well rounded guys when you can have one? Schmidt has not been a staple on the PK like Edler has for a decade +. This team needs more good players, not less.

And if I was Edler I’d say suck a bag of dicks and go somewhere else for a couple years at 4.5 million a year. Lotsa teams would pony up for Alex Edler at the end of the season. The guy is still a very effective player and people want to pay him less than Jay Beagle or Brandon Sutter.

Schmidt is a much better player than Eddy is now and will absolutely be logging big minutes including on the PK. Hes not a one dimension player whatsoever.

BTW I'm not advocating losing Edler at all...quite the opposite

I get what you are saying but those contracts were also before a flat cap which is probably not going to go up much if at all after this season. It is Edler’s choice if he wants to sign on the dotted line at that price to stay in Vancouver. Also Sutter and Beagle’s contracts will be gone sooner than later.

[Blob Mckenzie]

I think you can assess it at the end of the year and go from there. As of right now he wouldn’t be overpaid at 5 million on a one year deal. Who knows? Maybe his play craters in the condensed season and you can get him back for 3 million. I don’t think he has any desire to play elsewhere though unless they really make him a rancid offer.

Actually, Eddy had very close to his best season, statistically, in 19/20. Only played 59 but solid numbers. LOL, not always with the most exceptional, low risk partners. This can be said for a few of his years.
Schmidt may be a better skater, particularly at this point, but FFS, who cares.. We need quality Dees. The style of game we play depends on it.
Not big and heavy, nope.. I like fast and furious. That works. We give up chances though. That aint gonna change this year. Maybe a hair.
Bottom six is still mid pack at best in the 31.

I am sure Edler has figured it out. Petey and Quinn get signed, then the scraps are fed to the dogs. Edler is one of the dogs next season.

He may be coming off of a great season, but, we have another whole season to go before he is re-signed. And, after that, Benning will look to sign him for what he is worth going forward, not for what he does this year. My guess is $2million, as that's about all we will have available for him.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Edler was a key piece for the defense that couldnt get the goddamn puck out of their own zone while Schmidt was a key piece for the opponent that was busy keeping that same puck in our zone.

Not heaping blame on Eddy but NS was all over the vancouver breakout and I'm very, very happy he's on our team

[Strangelove]

Guys, Edler's next contract is a 35+ one.

Meaning he can have a lower base salary plus bonuses.

If his play is good enough he'll trigger bonuses.

No doubt something fair for both sides can be worked out...

Great point Strangelove.

So what are you thinking... $2M base plus another 2 in potential bonuses?

Perhaps. It all depends on what kind of season he has this year.

I like what the Doc is presenting.

Ahhh, of course.

A pleasure chatting with you as always Doc...
