Alex Edler Has Back Surgery, Out Indefinitely for Canucks

Filed under: Canucks, Western, NHL Injuries

The Vancouver Canucks spent a lot of cap money to bolster their defensive corps last summer, adding Dan Hamhuis in free agency and Keith Ballard in a trade with Florida.

It's a good thing that general manager Mike Gillis made those moves. Sami Salo was injured during the offseason, and now Alex Edler is out indefinitely.

Edler missed Wednesday's win over Nashville with back spasms, and the team announced Thursday that Edler will undergo back surgery.
