Shoot. I was kind of hoping we could sign him as a safeguard.

Kind of glad the talk of the Flames offering him three years was nothing more than that.

I would have loved that deal for Edler 1 or 2 years.

Valimaki is gone in the Eichel trade so need another LHD

One year makes much more sense at that price.

Too much by at least one mill in my opinion.

According to the charts, he was better defensively than Zadarov last season.

Pretty decent value and risk for a UFA. Flames probably would have had to offer term to get such a low AAV. I guess Edler like the west coast.

Alex Edler has been famously desperate to stay in Vancouver for a few years now.

I don’t get the posters who wanted Edler. 35 years old, 8 assists, better defensively last year than in previous years but that was largely due to being paired with Schmidt. $3.5 seems like a lot even for one year.

But not so desperate as to take less money, which was always the weird thing.
