Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks: Alex Edler Comments on Trade Rumours, Dalpe to Buffalo After one season with the Vancouver Canucks, forward Zac Dalpe signs a new deal with the Buffalo Sabres, while Alex Edler comments to a Swedish paper on the trade rumours that have swirled around him for the past year.

According to Brad Zeimer , Vey will accept Canucks qualifying offer of 735k

Thats a good number number, hopefully for two years.

Good blog Carol, I can't see Edler being traded at this point considering that Linden and Benning have been pumping him up and that the Canucks have no other offensive guys at the back end. No offensive to Bieksa who at times can bring some great rushes, he doesn't have the same talent as Edler.

Tanev has the best rush potential on the D by far. He'll shine if given the freedom.

That video is high-larious.

I gave Dalpe zero chance at cracking the Sabres. Not because we have a great roster - far, far from it - but due to numbers.

Can the kid actually play?

@BradZiemer: Vey's agent, Tim Hodgson, tried for one-way deal, but notes that Vey would have to clear waivers to be sent to minors. #Canucks

Does anyone know if he will still have to clear waivers to get sent down on a 2 way deal?

Good. Vey will be a bargain this season.

It means they don't have to be worried about being sent down seeing Canucks would lose him. He is going nowhere

Surprisingly, yes. Can he be an impact D? Not sure...

Smart signing of a 2-way on the Canucks Management's part; keeps him motivated knowing that he doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the line up.

I thought he was a centre.

He is, that's why he's not too sure that he could be an impact d.

So to pick this thing to death, does he try harder because he doesn't want to be sent down or he should feel comfortable and just work hard because he shouldn't fear being put on waivers because he may get picked up or the Canucks don't want to do that because if he was it would mean they wasted a 3rd rounder?

Nice cap hit anyway. Guessing the organization is expecting some growing pains with such a big shakeup in the front office and coaching staff along with the infusion of new blood in the lineup.

He did play some wing last year

2-Way deal has zero influence on waiver eligibility, only means lesser pay if the player is in the AHL. One-way deals guarantee an NHL salary even in the AHL. He would have to clear waivers so he's basically a lock for the opening roster. Will still have to compete for a spot in the top 9 though.

Makes sense

He won't be sent down, that is why the agent didn't care that it was a two way deal

Benning will get ripped if they waive him after camp and he gets claimed, Benning basically traded Garrison for him.


This is the same fanbase that wanted MG's head when he waived Aaron (frank)ing Volpatti so there's no way Vey doesn't make this team, it's his job to lose.

He wont be sent down, his choices are top 9 or press box.

Edit: or be traded somewhere else.

I'm with you, couldn't see it happening either, the discussion reminded me of crap on 1040 about basketball and their theory that rookies on the Cavs would train harder knowing Lebron would be there next season. Like all of a sudden there is a reason for them to work hard since they have been drafted, blah blah blah. Just sounded like they were filling air time. Relating their knowledge of other sports with the NBA, but not necessarily using relevant examples.

is that with two goalies on the roster?

Three. But it is a 24 player roster
