Carol Schram: Canucks' Alex Edler test free agency; Abbotsford announces coaching staff With plenty of rumours swirling around the Vancouver Canucks' offseason player movement, Alex Edler's agent announced Friday that his client will test free agency for the first time in his career. Also, the Abbotsford Canucks finalized their coaching staff on Friday, with new assistant Jeff Ulmer joining head coach Trent Cull and associate Gary Agnew.

BB for Ekblad , boom 🤯
And TY Carol

Thanks Carol!!!


Really excited to see what Benning pulls off during these next couple of weeks. Feel like being a kid during the week before Christmas

Have the say that the Edler news caught me off guard, expected him to return for sure with the Sedins back in the fold but I can't blame him for exploring other options.

Thanks Carol.

I hope Edler enjoys Calgary.

I will take a wild guess and say he ends up with Burr in Mtl.

News: Multiple teams plan to steer clear from #NHLDraft prospect Logan Mailloux after he was charged in Sweden with taking and distributing a photo from a consensual sexual encounter.

Other teams see him as a first-round talent.

Thanks Carol.

I'll surmise Florida, he can hangout with Luongo

Still annoys me how people cheer for Lu here after he (frank)ed us with the early retirement.

Maybe he wants to play in the playoffs one last time but doesn't want to go deep , so he will sign with the Leafs

I could see him going to either Florida team tbh, that or Calgary is my guess.


Toronto typically likes our sloppy seconds as well.


That, or he ends up taking Benning's offer

If the Canucks are offering 2-3 mill on a year to year basis , and say Seattle offers 2×5 or 3×4 , 10-12 million guaranteed over 2 or 3 is a big thing to consider

Thanks Carol,
I’d like to see them use their pick to dump some contracts.
Trade Schmidt for a pick too.

If they sign Edler I think that also means Canucks have sent their player to Seattle and no further action is required.

Correct

That would work. I like Edler, not at 5-6 again and also he's like a security blanket for coaches.

Still bugs me that the coaching staff didn't play OJ 20mins a night the 10 games or so .

He's 35 years old, Edmonton will sign him and then Holland can give tryout deals to Lowe and Coffey.

Thanks Carol.

lol well done.

I say he ends up in Philly or WPG. Both clubs have knocked on his door for awhile.

3rd pairing on the Habs would work however,.

To bad Edler didn't decide at TDL last year that he wants a chance at a cup when we could have got assets back instead of now.

Don't forget the 'DOME' part....
