Popular Post Coconuts Posted Tuesday at 10:29 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 10:29 PM (edited) Fourth all-time in games played for the Canuck, only one of four to play 900+ games, and the only D to do so. Current holder of most Canucks D records. Will probably be the Canucks second-best D all time by the time Hughes wraps up his career imo, based on his performance and longevity as a Canuck. I really wish he'd managed to hit 1K games as a Canuck, I'm still sour it never happened. 925 games as a Canuck. Injuries over the years cost him that, as did him and the Canucks not being able to work out one last deal. Definitely one of my favourites.

Popular Post 6of1_halfdozenofother Posted Tuesday at 10:30 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 10:30 PM Watch the league office slap him with a 50 game suspension and a $35k fine, retroactive to when he last played for the Canucks and payable when he signs his 1-day contract.

They could prob. sign him for the whole year as 3rd pair left and be better than anyone we would put there! Give him a chance to hit 1000 Isnt he better than Forbert?

204CanucksFan Posted Tuesday at 11:27 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:27 PM Class move by the org and I'm glad that's how Edler wants to retire. He deserves all the praise, and more, he gets from this fan base. Take care and enjoy retirement, you've earned it Alex. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM I really don't care for the one-day contract things, but I do love Edler. Was one of my favourites for a long time and I'm excited to see him honoured. He'll get into the Ring of Honour this year or next year most likely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted Wednesday at 12:37 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:37 AM (edited) Probably wishful thinking. But wouldn't it be cool if D-Petey was playing that night? Passing the torch.

Rick Grimes Posted Wednesday at 12:50 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:50 AM I like this. I wish he could have finished the last few years out here, I have a feeling if the management we have in place now had been here when his contract was he up he would have - In any case! Congrats & Hope he enjoys retirement! Maybe we'll get to see him do a few signings at Pastime Sports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted Wednesday at 01:00 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:00 AM (edited) Nice to hear. Edler was a great Canuck. We let him down though. Why nobody defended him when Leafs goon tried to “play by the code” with him was a joke, and a big black mark on the heart of the Canucks, to let a goon beat the snot out of one of our greatest defensemen. With our current coach in place, I don’t see our team allowing that kind of crap again. Edited Wednesday at 02:30 AM by Slegr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
