I knew his numbers were inflated from the start. His contract will be deadly.

They will be happy for years and years

I haven't seen enough of his defensive game to fully commit to a Selke vote but i definitely agree he's one of if not the most underrated.
- NorthNuck

have a look at his corsi adjusted and penalty differential. He is never out of position. Honestly, ever.

Fair point however Edler/Tanev dmen are a dime/dozen whether they are here or not will really make no difference. But I do think one will get moved at TDL and one will stay...depends on the deal.
- LordHumungous

no Top 4 D (that are actually that good, not Hutton) are dime a dozen. There's less than are qualified to play those minutes in the NHL... it's the complete opposite, they're scarce.

Bringing up stats(and other actual facts) during Festivus is a tradition for me at this point. I don't want to let other posters down Codes !

I think Lordy was arguing more to the fact that Manvan and Vantel were discussing Friedmans take on how Edler is worth a late first. Edler and Tanev are NHL defenseman, and top 4 defenseman on MOST teams, zero doubt. Having said that, if the pick of value for either is a late 1st, one would have to assume that the pick would be coming from a team that is top 4 or 5 from the West or East in the standings, and on those specific teams, do either of them warrant a late 1st to play 2nd pairing. I think a good argument for their value is the fact that Hamonic plays 2nd pairing, and cost the Flames a 1st, a two 2nd round picks.

Hard to get up to mid-season form, but ya that's not much! I traded him and Farabee for Tavares in my Dynasty pool. #steal

Well Tanev isn't a rental, neither was Hamonic. So I would expect the cost to be higher, frankly. Otherwise, yes I agree late first at best. I think Colorado, TB, TOR all have Edler on their radar if he becomes available. Playoff EXP is pretty important for a rental on those teams except TB.

lol on a half day until noon here...drunk on!!

Merry Christmas everyone....except A_SL.

Edler and Tanev are on pace to hit career highs for points in a season.

I don't think you acquire either player for their point production though tbh. Edler maybe more-so than Tanev, but I don't think that is what is appealing to other teams about those defenders.

Will you be disappointed when Tanev and Edler are still here at the end of the year?

nope. not at all. I truly think both will be here to start training camp next year. If Hughes plays top 4 next year, I don't want him around Stecher/Hutton/Gudbranson/Pouliot/MDZ/Biega.

I don't mind keeping both, to be honest. I think Edler still has three good years in him. I only trade Tanev if we get a good return, I don't take calls for a low first rounder.

it still blows my mind that people think we had much of a choice when it came to dealing the twins to other teams after their contract/age/clauses were taken into consideration. The lineup with teams who had 14 million in cap space for two 36 year old players must have been long lol
