Confirmed Trade: [WSH/MTL] Joel Edmundson (50% retained) for 2024 3rd and 7th round pick

[Prairie Habs]

That's fine. He wasn't going to get a good return considering his injuries last season.

 

[PensandCaps]

Overpay by Washington for a guy who's salary kinda sucks

 

[BLNY]

More or less what I expected based on current rate of play and the market.

 

[Jee]

Will miss him, looked like he legit loved playing here

 

[Deam78]

Makes sense if there's no retention, can't really complain with all the young LHD, we needed to make room

Good vet, he was well liked here, good luck to you!

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Are the Habs giving up the 3rd to dump him?

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Wilson, Mantha & 2024 1st unprotected for Eddy, Allen, 2nd

 

[CupInSIX]

A far cry from the Chiarot-like return we were told was going to happen!

Who are they clearing cap for? It sounds like they're also trying to move Allen to clear cap.

 

[CycloneSweep]

That’s a funny way to spell Prospect+1st

 

[AvatarAang]

So when habs fans tell us their player is worth a 1st round pick, that player is actually worth a 3rd + 7th.

 

[Petes2424]

Fair deal. That’s about what he’s worth.

 

[The Nuge]

That’s got to be an error. That’s a 1st not a 7th right??? People were so adamant he was getting a 1st+

[Homesick]

That's fine. He wasn't going to get a good return considering his injuries last season.

He wasn't going to get a good return because of injuries his previous season either. He's statistically one of the worst defenseman in the league.

 

[MXD]

Great return, considering that he's totally done.

 

[Jee]

Ew

 

[GOilers88]

All those Edmundson for EDM 1st proposals aged well.

 

[PuckG]

What a stupid mistake. This is obviously referring to the 3rd and 7th overall in next years draft, no!?

Edit: Holy **** and retention!?

 

[Prairie Habs]

He wasn't going to get a good return because of injuries his previous season either. He's statistically one of the worst defenseman in the league.

There are GMs who realize the game isn't played on spreadsheets though. Advanced stats have use but the true believers think they are infallible when they really aren't.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Solid defensive defenseman

 

[BKarchitect]

Definitely not the same guy he was pre-injury. Probably still serviceable as a 4/5 on a better team like Edmonton where he doesn’t have to play 20 minutes a night.

Lol nvmd…mid-read Edmundson for Edmonton lol!

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Homerun by the Caps here. Is their plan to trade him at the deadline? Doesn't really make much sense.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He wasn't going to get a good return because of injuries his previous season either. He's statistically one of the worst defenseman in the league.

Heard that before about players being statistically bad and when you watch said player you know it isn't true.

Guy is a solid dman, but just needs to play less ice time.

After the cup run, he was broken (like Weber and Price). That took a toll on him. He played his heart out and put his body on the line. Since that run he's been a broken shell of himself.
