<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sports_Guy</b></div><div>Philly most likely doesn't need or want Del Zotto they have had him before and it's just a situation like last time where you know it's tough for a guy to get ice time on a team that isn't his style, but there aren't really any teams imo that are his style of play anymore.

I don't think it's a move Colorado would want to do Edler doesn't really benefit just gives them Cap troubles in the long run. Same with Sutter, but maybe they want to trade Sutter or something.</div></div>

That's a fair point on Del Zotto.

I feel like Edler would be good for Colorado though. He can eat a lot of minutes (for now) and provide at the very least, a more steady top 4 for the playoffs this season and, if he chooses to resign, a bit of a stop-gap while the Avs wait for Makar, Timmins, and Girard to really take the next step and become regular NHL defensemen.
He's a UFA and won't make 5mil again so the cap problems could be mitigated with a 2- year contract.

As for Sutter, it's my opinion that the young guns for Colorado (Kerfoot, Compher, and Jost) would be more suited for the wing until they can show they're responsible throughout all 200ft of the ice, and Sutter is a leader, Pk, and faceoff guy to kind of show the way, I'd be willing to eat a bit of his salary as well. Hell, I'd take on 50% of both salaries if it makes the deal go through.
