Buffalo probably wouldn't make that deal but I think Edmonton would.

edler for yak, why not.

why go for a pick.

Love your scenarios but Edler wont wave to go to Buff, Islander, Edm or the leafs.

Edler for Drouin

It was pretty dire then. Empty building most nights.
Messier single-handedly resurrected the franchise.

Edit: ok, unless I missed the sarcasm?

I don't see it that way at all. I've got a number of gripes with this organization of late but how they develop their goalies isn't one of them.

Lack: This season is done. He's currently penciled in as our starter next season but we really aren't sure if he can handle the workload or whether a vet needs to be signed this summer to spot him 20-30 games. Playing Lack heavy down the stretch is the best way to find out.

Markstrom: Clearly something happened between being one of the world's elite goalie prospects to how he ended up in Florida. Rollie Melanson has done great things with our guys and the best thing to do at this juncture to salvage your prospect is give him as much time as you can afford away from the games and with Melanson - in this case the rest of the season and summer - rather than start him against Anaheim (as Carol suggested) and let him burn.

If they deem that Lack can handle the heaviest load then including a hopefully rejuvenated Markstrom into the tandem next year (there is no tandem at present) should pay off. Bottom line is we won't know what we have in Markstrom until the development work is done. Playing him in 1 or 2 games behind a demoralized team won't change that.

the team isn't playing demoralized, but rather seem to be playing to try and prove something...

Possibly missed.

I'm feeling like Gillis has already botched the situation... Lookout for a Schneider 2.0
- Jim_Robson

why bring jason botchford into the conversation, he is by and large IMO a negative on the team even when the team is going good. always being critical of the team without ever pointing out what is going well with the team. how the media in vancouver can consider themselves impartial when they are always being critical with a negative slant and never looking at any positives as a counter point is mind boggling...

I'd be happy with teravainen shaw and a 1st next year. Can pick up another LHD and Top 6 forward and a pick for Edler.
- Chest Rockwell

why would you leave Leddy out of the mix... when the original comment mentioned him coming back as well???

Edler has been quoted as not wanting to go anywhere... doesn't want to waive his NTC

How would you guys feel if they trade JG instead of Edler?

If the returns are equal, I'd much prefer that.

Both would be better.

I've read mixed reports on Edler's contract, some say it's not a full NTC, meaning he can be traded to a certain number of teams. Any thoughts?

Edler for Tyler Myers and a pick? Reunited Edler and Ehrhoff.

Jason has become so irrelevant these past months that I thought you were talking about john garret. It's true he is a streaky player.

Anyone remember Neil (mouth piece) McCrae?? I have a cassette tape that I made back in the 90's where he is berating the Avalache players on is morning radio show on CFMI that they were playing to get their coach fired, that's what the canucks are trying to do. By the way the coach was Crawford and he got fired.

Because there is no way CHI would do that deal and first rounder I was suggesting was for 2015.

That guy was hilarious.
past the point of being brutally honest.He talked like lived a perfect life while criticizing everything.

Senators lost.

I think Edler and TB are perfect for each other. Edler escapes the fish bowl environment of Vancouver and gets to play in a high octane offensive talent pool. I'm willing to bet he'd waive to go there.

As if. I'm not even sure they'd do Kesler for Drouin straight up.
