peabrain 5 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 Both have upside(and downside), some dmg issues on both this year. Similar cash. Nucks need scoring and wings need better defense with better play out of the own zone. I Think it could benefit both teams and it´s a realistic come thru deal. Btw, i dont understand thoose saying wings should go for scorers, aka vanek etc. Besides it´s for the moment totally unrealistic in regards of what you have to give up in value and in cap. Wings are stacked with scoring in dats, Zetterberg, tatar, Nyqvist, alfie, helm and has guys like pulkinen and mantha in the pipeline. What they need is defensemen with some size/physicality, that can get the puck out of the zone in a constructive fashion and chip in offensively and edler is a name with that potential.

peabrain 5 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 Absolutely. This is a trade that would work out both ways. Most suggestions i see on theese forums are in the vincinity of Quincy for weber wich ofc is just waisting readers time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,359 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 Actually it's kind of odd this speculation was posted up, last night I was talking with a couple of friends of mine that live in Vancouver and are both big nucks fans. They started talking about hearing on the local radio station that the Red Wings had interest in Edler and had inquired with the team. One brought it up and the other confirmed that he heard the same kind of rumor going around. Take it as you will, it's just word of mouth from an unconfirmed source, but this rumor (not involving Franzen or any Wings player names mentioned) does have a little bit of validity for the sake of it being a rumor. EDIT: After browsing around a bit, found a few sort of recent articles also pertaining to the rumor, figured i'd share. http://fansided.com/2013/12/23/nhl-trade-rumors-detroit-red-wings-have-interest-in-alex-edler/ http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/det131222.html http://thecanuckway.com/2013/11/30/vancouver-canucks-considered-trading-alex-edler-detroit-red-wings/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,359 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 With Franzen's injury I'm just surprised someone would want him and that contract I agree, it's not an ideal time to trade a player when they have been out with injury for an extended period of time, especially a concussion. One of those articles did say there was an offer with "three pieces" but Vancouver wanted a 4th which inevitably ended the talks at that time. I don't think a 1 for 1 scenario would be the kind of deal on the table here. 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 @mabus: That article was from November, and if I recall correctly I seen Nyquists name in a lot of trade rumors... I agree a 1for1 deal is probably not an option, but nyqs value has significantly risen since then, but im thinking he's off the table for a trade with the other kids. Good finds on the article btw. Whether you want Franzen here or not, I don't think he's going anywhere. He's too valuable to us(when healthy) and if we traded him away we wouldn't get that same value back given his injury history. Plus the whole idea of him retiring and sticking us with that cap hit would be problematic. And for those who are gonna say his new team would be responsible for it, its part of the new cba with those long term deals being the responsibility of the team that signed them, which is why every team was afforded two compliance buy outs. However, since the kovalchuk retirement, I'm a little questionable on that. Was his cap hit wiped from njs books because he left the league? Or was I just misinformed as to the cap responsibilities on such deals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 The rumor I heard was Edler for Tatar Mantha and a first but Van wanted more. Franzen for Edler would plug one hole by creating another. Pass. 1 brooklynsour reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Kenny offered Nyquist, Smith and a 1st (Mantha) at the 2013 draft but Vancouver wanted to add more and the counter offer was refused.

MabusIncarnate 5,359 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Edler has since had some injury issues and not been quite on his game. To me that says more eager to be dealt from Vancouver and a potentially cheaper asking price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 MG would be fired if he did Edler for Franzen Tatar, Mantha and a first should be a non starter, heck Mantha alone should be a non starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 Straight up, that's an absolute steal for the Red Wings. I imagine the Canucks would demand much more in return, even though Edler's value is probably down since last summer. Probably going to be tough to convince another team to take on a player still out with lingering concussion symptoms too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
