I for sure would not want Edler for 3 years. I will say he is good defensively, and I bet that he moves the puck better than Tanev, but he has no offence to speak of any longer. Adding him to a group that already has offensive issues already, when he is 35, for 3 years is questionable. I wouldn't mind him for a 1 year stop-gap if the Flames couldn't find someone decent defensively with a bit more range offensively. 3 years makes me uncomfortable.
