Alex Edler Vancouver Canucks | Alex Edler Canucks | Alex Edler Contract Alex Edler Current Team

He was signed to an entry level contract by the Canucks on 24 July 2006. He reported to the Canucks training camp in September 2006 and he got a slot as the team’s seventh defenseman. He scored his first NHL goal on 30 November, a slap shot that beat Anaheim Ducks goaltender Jean-Sebastein in a 2-1 loss.

In the course of the 2006-07 season, he was reassigned between Manitoba and Vancouver on several occasions. He appeared in a total of 22 games for the Canucks recording a goal and 2 assists. With Moose, he scored five goals and 26 points over 49 games and was named Manitoba’s Rookie of the Year.

At the start of the 2008-2009 season, he was re-signed to a 4 year, $13 million contract extension on 9 October 2008. In the 2010-201 season, he continued to improve and was on pace to record new career-highs in goals, assists and points when he suffered a back injury, tightness in his back, in January 2011. He underwent microdisectomy surgery to relieve pressure on a herniated disk and was sidelined for two and a half months.

He was signed a six year, $30 million contract extension on 18 January 2013 to remain with Canucks, where he is as of now.

Alex Edler Suspension

He delivered an illegal check to the head of St Jose forward and since he has been suspended before, he was considered a repeat offender by the terms of the CBA and thus he got suspended for three games.

Alex Edler injury could hinder playoff push for Canucks

Source: sportsnet.ca

PHILADELPHIA – Hockey is the sport where players miss teeth but not shifts.

Players are sliced open by sticks and they block rubber missiles with their bones, but keep playing unless something more than their skin is broken. Rightly or wrongly, hockey embodies the ideal of playing hurt.

And yet, despite this culture and familiarity with injuries, there are incidents so raw and sickening that they frighten players like they frighten the rest of us. One of these injuries occurred halfway through the third period of the Vancouver Canucks’ 2-1 loss Monday to the Philadelphia Flyers when their veteran leader and best defenceman, Alex Edler, lost his balance and gruesomely fell face-first into the ice.

As Edler lay unconscious and bleeding beside the Canucks net, players from both teams immediately waved for medical help, imploring the trainers and doctors to get there quickly.

On a day that began with Canucks winger Sven Baertschi sent home for tests five weeks after returning from a career-threatening concussion, then worsened when Vancouver goalie Thatcher Demko suffered a leg injury in the pre-game warmup, losing to the Flyers amid the NHL playoff race was easily the best thing that happened to the Canucks on Monday.
