The Vancouver Canucks and Alexander Edler were supposed to have practically zero issues in agreeing to a new contract, but as free agency draws closer, it seems like the 33-year-old could end up finding a new home.
A month ago, Rick Dhaliwal of Sportsnet 650 reported that there’s “lots of work to do” in regards to contract negotiations with Edler. There haven’t been any major updates to suggest that the Canucks and Edler are making progress on a new deal, either.
On Monday, Sportsnet’s Iain MacIntyre noted that general manager Jim Benning and agent Mark Stowe aren’t “revealing details” about contract talks.
