Alex Edler's agent on potential extension with Canucks: 'It’s our intent to put our best efforts to try to get a deal done before July 1.'
‘ playoff hopes fade, focus is beginning to turn to this summer and next season, when expectations will step up to a new level.
The fact the two sides didn’t come to agreement on an extension before the trade deadline isn’t a big deal, Edler’s agent told Sportsnet 650’s Starting Lineup on Wednesday. “We’re continuing to move forward and having discussions and it’s our intent to put our best efforts to try to get a deal done before July 1.”Your browser does not support theWith his contractural future in the air, there was building speculation the Canucks might try to trade Edler, and possibly even attempt to re-sign him in the summer after that. But Edler would have needed to waive his full no-trade clause for that to happen, which he was not willing to do.
The other reason was his health. Edler missed nearly a month of action since being injured on Feb. 4 against Philadelphia and his absence ran through the trade deadline.
