AN OLDER SOURCE FOR THE NAME 'EDLER': According to one book on King Arthur (Bernard Cornwell's, THE WINTER KING: St. Martin's Press, N.Y.: 1995), the word 'Edling' titled a 'Crown Prince' in the period in which King Arthur would have lived (A.D. early 400's). According to German dictionaries (e.g., Harper Collins: German Unabridged Dictionary, 1999), 'edle(r)' is derivative from the word 'edling', refering to a nobleman. Currently is said to reference a nobleman/woman, noble person, or lord/lady.
The 2003-4 season saw Edler become a regular on the men’s team as he played in 24 games and scored 9 points while being a +8.
Edler was not that well known during his draft year as he was unranked by Central Scouting the entire year and only a handful of teams actually made the trip to see him in action.
At the draft Nonis traded a 2005 third rounder for one in the 2004 draft to move ahead of the Red Wings, a team rumored to be in interested in Edler, to select the young Swede.
