Is Elder that good? Think the Bruins should hold onto Morrow and their pick and if they need a Dman next year, get a free agent.
Edler is worth two top prospects and a 1st rounder especially because he is signed long term, he ma not be the guy as a No. 1 but hes a Top 2 Dman and for the bruins a top 6 of Chara-Edler, Krug-Seidenberg, Irwin-McQuaid is a legitimate force in the Atlantic, plus Morrow is likely not going to get a great opportunity on the bruins because of their depth down the left side this season, and they could hold on to him but he is too close to spend more AHL time and the bruins probably see Colin Miller, Zach Trotman, and Matt Irwin as all better options. On the Canucks side of it, I see Koko maybe playing on the 4th line with the canucks and I say this because I expect either Burrows or Chris Higgins to be traded anyway becaxuse of the Canucks forward depth, and Morrow may get a top 6 spot as he is a former 1st rnder, hes definitely a better option than Bartkowski and Weber. Anyways, on both sides it is an improvement: cancucks improve depth, fre up cape space, and have the freedom to move on from burrows/higgins, and the bruins get a real top 4 D core
Hi Surge....fellow Aries...I was born April 4. You mentioned in your blog, about the Bruins being a legitimate force....Well last year they didn't make the playoffs and there doesn't seem to be any additions (mostly subtractions) that seems to be put them in contention. As a result, I'm suggesting hold onto to next year and see what you got.

Have to agree with nsurge9. Edler is a good all-around #2 Dman, signed on a reasonable long-term deal. Having said that, I think the Canucks would have to really consider this deal to continue restocking the cupboards. The future is not now in Vancouver.
