Rick Dhaliwal: The Vancouver Canucks plan on talking to pending UFA defenseman Alex Edler soon.
Mark Stow, Edler’s agent: “Alex loves Vancouver, certainly the desire is to return. I am looking forward to the call.”
Rick Dhaliwal: Ray Ferraro on Donnie & Dhali on the Canucks: “They have a good base to work with but until they re-capture cap space, it is tough to be as good as you can be. You do not need a 3M 4th line centre. Also, do not not go crazy in free agency, put the phone away.
