[SirPaste]

According to Blues app alert, was he even an RFA this year? I though he had a year left. Either way I'm very happy with the deal

Excellent! Hopefully Parayko is next.

 

[BlueDream]

Nice. I love what he has brought to the team.

Fabbri approves.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Great deal. Was expecting 1.25

 

[Spicy Panger]

 

[Chojin]

I was expecting around a million, so this is pretty much perfect. It's nice to have our left defense set for a few years.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

I didn't realize he has set a Blues rookie record for hits! He's a beast, glad to have him on the team.

 

[WiscoBlues]

$1.05m AAV. nice.

 

[KirkOut]

Excellent

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Excellent

Your avatar...I must have it.

 

[KirkOut]

I also like the timing of this. Give the rook a boost of confidence right before the playoffs start

This will be a steal by the time it ends, He is never going to be great offensively but he is already strides better than he was to start the season.

 

[TheDizee]

seems like the d outside of shattenkirk and bort is pretty much locked in for a few more years

 

[Ranksu]

No-brainer deal for Edmunson.


I'm waiting Brouwer extension

 

[Edgar Carrow]

I fully support this. Ed has been a favorite of mine this year.

I told you guys that Joel was nasty. The Blues have needed someone like him for a while.

 

[BlueOil]

Finally, now I can get the 4 taken off my jersey and switch from Polak to Edmundson.

 

[Brian39]

Love it. I think a bridge deal is in the best interest of the team and the player and the AAV sounds perfect (probably a little team friendly). Fantastic.

So, with Ed, Jaybo, and Gunny all signed for the next 2 years minimum, does this mean Lindbohm is Out?

This is an interesting point.

Depth on defense is always good so it's not like he's completely hopeless, but....yeah....he's kinda fallen out a bit. If there's a deal out there that improves the team I doubt the Blues would hesitate much to include him, especially given the fact that they'll have prospects like Dunn and Walman in the system in the somewhat near future too.

If we had to lose one though, I'd rather it be Lindbohm than Edmundson. Something about Edmundson's attitude and how he's fit in with the guys sticks out to me. He's been a good addition.

 

[ManyIdeas]

I almost want to say shame, because Lindbohm was on a great track, but it seems like he got passed.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Holy **** yes

 

[Meatball]

We're certainly not a soft defense anymore and Big Ed is a big reason why (pun intended).

He did get passed for the time being.id still be a bit surprised if he gets moved just yet though.

Excellent..wouldn't have minded if it was longer. Ed is excellent.

Now....drum roll...where is the eight year deal for Parayko?
