As much as I would like to have Eddie back, I think that boat has sailed from a management perspective as well as from a Eddie perspective.
From a management perspective,
- Trading for Eddie would imply that they made a mistake trading him away in the first place and admitting fault is something these clowns are incapable of.
- Having insight into how goalies work and the interactions between goalies and goalie coaches is way too complex of a thought process for these clowns. Remember, these guys make their decisions based on learned shortcuts and not through critical analysis. It's much easier to give Ryan Miller 6M dollars than it is to figure out why Eddie had the success that he had when he was with us and if it's possible to replicate it.
From a Eddie perspective, for various reasons (goalie coach? concussion) Eddie has stumbled rather badly in his stint with Carolina. I won't pretend to understand what Eddie is going through but the one thing that I DO know is that in order for Eddie to regain his mojo, he needs to win and that's not gonna happen very often if he joins the Canucks.
So for Eddie's personal well-being, I would advise him to stay the **** away from this team.
