Edler dethroned five-time champion Sami Salo in the hardest shot competition at Canucks skills competition earlier this month. Edler's best shot registered 99.3 miles-per-hour.
After spending time both injured and in the minors in October, Edler has played every game for the Canucks since October 24 in Detroit.
The Canucks traded a third round draft choice in 2005 to Dallas in order to move up in the Entry Draft and select Edler 91st overall in 2004.
Edler has come a long way since he was not even included in the 2004 Entry Draft rankings of the top 161 European skaters.
