Alexander Edler - Eaglet??

Well, since Kevin Bieksa is sidelined, Alexander Edler has become the new up and coming young defenceman to herald this year. Here's an Ian McIntyre article on him from the National Post. You know you've got something going if Ian writes a story on you.. and someone makes a replica BC license plate for you.

A cute quote from Trevor Linden excerpted:

"I come up with all kinds of stuff to call guys," Vancouver Canucks Trevor Linden explains. "Alex Edler - Edler. Eddie. Eddie the Eagle. What's an eagle? Big, majestic bird. But he's not big and majestic yet, so I said he's Eaglet. Everyone says, ‘What's an eaglet?' I say it's a baby eagle and everyone laughs, says it isn't. But it is."
