Well rebuild and retool have already been used so maybe MG was trying to be original?

Who ever offered that has obviously had a (frank)ing lobotomy! Taylor Hall is worth FAR more than that.

When did Edler go on LTIR when he wasn't injured???
- KB3Point0



He came conviently back as soon as someone else got injured two years ago.

Insurance pays out if he's hurt.
- KB3Point0


yes, but at that point you aren't able to sign a replacement and if the season has already started you couldn't bring up either of the two 1st rounders they drafted this year.

Hard to make the cap situation work for them, or the D-man situation work for us, without taking one back.

Oh well, on to the next suitor.

Ballard @ $1.5 million per... what a bargain.

Hope he rips it up in Minny.

edler for plekanec would be a serious win for vancouver. Upgrade in the top six and still deep on d.

I think this would be a serious win for the canucks if they could move edler for plekanec, he's not the biggest guy but if kesler could play the wing with plekanec at center I think it immediately upgrades the canucks up front in a big way. Underrated player IMO. I like the guy

Philly just added Lecavalier to Giroux/Schenn/Couturier. So they're DEEP at C & need more quality on the back end. If we're dealing Edler & Tanev expects $2+ million I'd rather see:

To PHI: Edler, Tanev, Hansen
To VAN: Schenn, Schenn, Read

I would love to see how Edler responds to a new voice. He's got ridiculous potential, he just needs to unleash it.

I'm only trading him if the return blows me away.

Leaves just under $6 million to fill those blanks... That roster under Torts would be (frank)ing badass IMO.

Clarkson will sign for stupid money and term, then in 2 years the team will be trying to get him off the books (trade or waive), probably Leafs.

I know the Leafs fans come here to rag on MG and Luongo, but cmon. Grabo just signed his contract, the ink wasn't even dry and a year into it, boom bought out.

That would explain the total absence of Leaf trolls in here today.

That's only 20 players though... Is Read a 4th line winger? I mean, unless the new coach is all about spreading ice time around.
