Is your focus to win now or to set yourself up in a year or two? If you're trying to win now (assuming there is a season) I'd go Edler. If you're trying to set yourself up in a couple years then I'd keep Carlson. I think Vancouver is strating the trend down. St. Louis I see scoring more by committee. If Oates can get Washington back to their high scoring ways, given Green's band-aid boy ways, then Carlson could be in line for a huge breakout. My $0.02.
