Eye of Ra
Grandmaster General of the International boards
What are you guys memories of him? What did he bring to the ice?
One of my fav canucks.
Too bad Benning did him dirty and let him walk.
probably a top twenty all time canucks moment for me
I think he just could not deal with the Benning era dysfunction anymore.Benning saw/wanted Edler back in a reduced role. Edler didn't agree and left. Tough situation for Edler though. His friends were gone and the team kept losing.
Edler was a guy who refused trades forever, never taking a chance to go for a cup and then ended up signing in LA when they were still a bottom feeder.
I think that says everything about how the team was run at the time and how bad he wanted out.

Him leaving is one of the most glaring pieces of evidence how bad things were.
Salo? Jovanovski?An argument could be made for him to be 3rd best d-man the Canucks have ever had. Certainly top 5. The only two I would clearly place above him are Hughes and Ohlund.
