Respect your Edlers

The San Jose Sharks acquired Ulf Niklas Alexander Edler from divisional rival Los Angeles Kings just before Tuesday\'s trade deadline. What does this mean for the league\'s most cutthroat division? Here to break it down are two loud, angry Canadian former hockey players in suits, Terry and Phil.

T: Phil, in this trade, the Sharks gave up their top defense prospect, Ryan Pilon, as well as a second round pick in next year\'s draft, and sophomore defenseman Matt Killian. This seems like a steep price to pay for a struggling Swede who hasn\'t put up over 40 points since 2011. Was it worth it?

P: TERRY, I THINK SO. Edler is my kind guy. Big, tough, meat and potatoes, real physical. 155 hits this season, lays his body on the line with 55 blocks, that\'s what I like to see! Not like those namby-pamby S-

T: Right, right. But critics say that with 17 points in 61 games, Edler\'s game was at an all time-low, and that\'s a real risk for a high price of yet another pick and the top prospect in the Sharks\' depleted system.

P: PEOPLE ARE GONNA SAY THIS AND THAT, but all I gotta say is BOOM. Sharks fans are gonna LOVE HIM and they\'ll learn to RESPECT THEIR EDLERS.

T: ... That\'s all we have time for today, I think. Please stay tuned for some words from our sponsors while I wipe the spittle off my face.
