I would've claimed him.
We badly need a good PK defenseman and a solid and physical stay at home guy. I saw that he only has 13 hits in 10 games, is he playing a bit nervous about hurting his back again?
They can’t have been that interested considering he went for a 5th rounder.

Struggling to get the puck back quickly consistently and up the ice can hugely affect that. They could use help at every position but mobile defenseman with defensive iq is probably the top need

Like I said there's a bigger gap between Ken Holland and the 2nd worst GM in the NHL than the gap between the 2nd worst and the best.
Ken Holland wouldn't be able to even set up the checkers board you're giving him too much credit.

I think he is prbly being careful since he just got back from injury.
I'd be more concerned if his hits don't start going up over the next 10-15 games.
This trade prbly wouldn't happen until January anyway.

Take out Bourgault. Parayko is around 30 and has a long term contract.
Why would we want Watson?

We're not getting a player like Parayko while trading Barrie for just a 1st. The price, even with his age and term without Barrie is probably a 1st and B prospect.
Adding Watson adds some toughness to the 4th line. Similar salaries, similar term.

Apparently Holland thinks having a guy like Reaves in the lineup would intimidate New Jersey into not skating so fast.
He's playing 3D chess while the rest of us are watching hockey.

Did you not read my comment? Are you unable to understand it?
Give it a rest and stop detracting uselessly like you do in every thread. Whatever bone you have to pick with the Oilers, pick it elsewhere and stop projecting your Leafs suck on everyone else.

Does seem like it'd make a fair bit of sense. Kill two birds with one stone for Edmonton. Or at least, make a small dent in two problems at once.
Unfortunately, i think the Chiarot deal last year set the table. That's going to cost a 1st round pick. And that's if Montreal even want to move Edmundson at all. With how young they are on the blueline, i could see them more interested in just keeping him around as a manner of "insulation" and a "leader" on defence.
I do like the sounds of Edmundson in Edmonton though. Really rolls off the tongue.

They don’t need toughness. At least not in a face puncher kind of way. They aren’t a bunch of daisies. The whole bottom 6 tend to sleepwalk through games though. A guy who likes to be the aggressor might jolt this team so maybe that’s why they possibly kicked some tires. Not a high priority though compared to other weaknesses.
