Well it does replace their own 5th round pick they sent us in the Edmundson-Faulk trade.
Was he really that bad this season in Carolina? I didn't watch much of their games this season but the ones I saw I didn't think he was that bad.
Gotta watch out for their soon to be elite #1C in Nick Suzuki who has a near limitless ceiling, or at least that's what I've heard from Habs fans
From the 10-15 Carolina games I caught this season, he was still the wildly inconsistent guy he was with us. Some nights he'd be a monster, other nights just a complete dumpster fire.
That is a pretty hot take from whomever JFresh is. Edmundson is inconsistent, but he is very far from being "one of the worst defensemen in the League".
Btw, Joel Edmundson with 20 pts and a +7 in 68 games this season. Justin Faulk 16 pts and a -3 in 69 games. Just sayin'.
Faulk may have bad contract, but I’ve seen enough of both to know that no way would I rather have Eddie out there.
And if we hadn't made that trade, Edmundson would be walking in a month and we wouldn't have Faulk's contract.

I do think the Blues could have gone out with a whimper in the first round just as easily and for less money with Edmundson. I thought he played decently for Carolina in the postseason. I guess Montreal can afford to pay him more than Carolina figured to.
I know most here hate Dallas, but it’s the closest team to where I live. I’ve been to many games in Dallas and met lots of cool fans. It’s my daughter’s favorite team. If they get to the SCF I’d be happy to see them win. (Though I don’t think they would beat Tampa.)
I can be happy for Pavelski and lots of other Stars players. In some ways, it’s another ‘screw you’ to San Jose if Dallas wins.

I wouldn’t argue that Bjugstad is better than Bozak, but I don’t see how the situations are wildly different. Teams know the Pens have to dump salary due to internal cap reasons the same way teams know the Blues have to dump cap to re-sign Petro. Bjugstad only has a year left and even with his injuries, a team could still sell itself on potential upside. And while Bozak is definitely still a useful player, he’s ultimately a 34 year old middle 6 center making 5 million against the cap. I don’t see teams taking on his full cap (even for a year) without something coming along. Ultimately we’ll have to wait and see but I still don’t see a world in which the Blues won’t either have to: retain a good portion of his cap or, send a pick, to move Bozak for nothing in return.

Except Jamie Benn. Because f*** that guy. And I’m not a fan of Lindell or Bishop, and, yes, both for the same reason.

Pro sports is becoming predictable and boring
Not sure I understand the hate for Benn.
When the Blues play against him I get it, but now as a 3rd party I don't see him any differently than say....Reaves....
Yes, you heard it. Reaves is out there running his mouth and causing mayhem. Benn does much of the same.

I think there is difference. Benn is dirty and Reaves just play hard. Ofc that recent Reaves hit was horrendous, but I cant remember when last time he would try to hurt opponent player. Same goes with Perry, who purposely try to hurt opponent players.
I try to find player who was dirty on Blues. I can come up couple names. Edmundson who hit dirty hit on Dunn at training camp. Or Bortuzzo who somethimes play extra hard.
I think great example of play hard, but respectful was Jackman.

Maroon scores the empty netter, Bolts go up 3 games to one. The Big Rig on his way to a second straight Cup. Rooting for him.
Shattenkirk could get his Cup also. Let's Go Lightning!

Reaves is an idiot. But he played for the Blues so people here still have their blinders on about him.

Surprised since they weren’t playing well at break and looked bad in prelim round, but on the other hand not surprised. They gave us so much trouble last year. Colorado is flashier but Stars have always been built more for playoffs than Avs.

It really makes you wonder how differently it would have played out if we faced Calgary instead if Vancouver lmao.
But seriously I am happy for them and I'd much rather see them in the Final than Vegas
Weird to see Dallas go to the Cup but I’m not sad to see Vegas knocked out. They need to go through some pain before they win.
And Tampa is going to be the Champs anyways.
