[Not really racist!]

Tanev in a package deal for ROR doesn't make that much sense kinda. They have enough RHD (Barrie, Johnson, Sarich, Guenin, and one or two more up-and-coming prospects). They are playing a right hander on the left side right I believe.

Edler fits because he's LHD and he'd be on the top pairing with Johnson and they'd take pressure off of each other, Edler only waives if MG asks him (and he's said in the past he will never ask a player to waive NTC) or if he has his nudes. They are looking for a top two pairing defenseman right now so throwing Stanton in wouldn't cut it either, nor does he have much value at all. Tanev doesn't have THAT much value either, its just that us Canucks fans overvalue our players, and undervalue players we want to acquire, from my experience at least. Its also too bad that our expendable players have more value to us than they would be to other teams as well
