It's really not just about that though. Edler at the moment is our best offensive D-man but watch each game how many times his bombs don't go through; or are read by shotblockers.
It's something I rarely see off of Salo who can almost always makes the right decision between a one-timer, slap pass, slap deflection, slap-bank-of-the-backboards, of the point. (and that's all in addition to having approximately as hard a shot as Edler)
Edler has begun to start to embody the above player traits but IMO is not quite there yet as Salo when it comes to "play" decision making on the point.
