Confirmed with Link: Edler Re-Signs w/ VAN [6 Years / $30M ($5M AAV) ]

[Interior Cascadian]

Nice, NICELY done job Gillis!!

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Now if Edler gets in any proposals. Fans of those teams better pay a premium.

 

[VanEric]

That's a bargain considering Edler probably could have got a wild overpayment this off-season.

 

[moog35]

great value for Edler, the best part about the deal though was Gillis breaking the news, fleeces Edlers agent then breaks the news himself, god what a beauty

[Bubbles]

Now get rid of Ballard and Raymond and get a legit 2nd line scorer, than we're all good...

 

[Ainec]

booth maybe

 

[Foundational Player]

Any information regarding NTC, NMC in the extention? Excellent deal btw, Gillis is the man!!! Was concerned that Alex may test the UFA market, way to retain those assets!!!!

 

[D0ctorCool]

Love the discount Edler took! But at the same time, I get it. The dude just banked 30 million dollars. Leaving a few mill on the table as a 'thanks' to the Canucks is the mutually beneficial thing to do. The Canucks provide a quality of life that few other teams can boast. Being a Canuck is more a lifestyle than it is a job. Full credit goes to Gillis for creating this little ecosystem.

 

[Crows*]

Yes!!!!!!!! I bought an edler jersey during finals. So happy

 

[Samzilla]

Now get rid of Ballard and Raymond and get a legit 2nd line scorer, than we're all good...

How can you get rid of Raymond now that he's taken a (forced) paycut and found his muse in Schroeder?

According to Botch, Edler has an NTC.

 

[Bieksallent]

Amnesty buyouts FTW.

Still think a desperate team like the Islanders or Ottawa will want him for scraps in the summer.

 

[Bubbles]

He's been on the decline for a few years now. He'll always be a third liner to me.

 

[Proto]

Terrific contract. He would have gotten more before the lockout.

 

[Invictus146]

Love it - well done Gillis. I guess the whole negotiations thing is one advantage of having a ex-agent as GM

 

[canuck4life16]

I predict he get a Norris trophy very soon

 

[ProstheticConscience]

What a fantastic deal! Even a hardcore Canuck hater would have a hard time trashing this deal.

You'd think so, but the trade board would prove otherwise. Some Leafs fan's sock puppet/troll account is all over this. It's sad that some people have nothing better to do on a Friday night than that.

According to Botch, Edler has an NTC.

Even better.

This deal =

MG really crushed this one out of the park. w00t!

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Agree with this.

Players that I'll take over Edler so excellent deal. I am ecstatic.

 

[luongo321]

Just heard the news after studying for quite some time! Great surprise! : D

Him and Garrison are gonna be sick.

woah, woah. did you not see the raytrain taking off last night?! kesler is clearly the one holding back raymond.
edit: sorry about the multiposts. just so excited about the news.

 

[pitseleh]

What an awesome deal. The fact that they could get him at that price while only buying up to his age 33 year is pretty incredible.

 

[Var]

Fantastic

 

[PG Canuck]

Great signing.
