Confirmed with Link: Habs Acquire Rights to Joel Edmundson from Carolina for a 2020 5th Round Pick (Pick #139)

[David Suzuki]

Had to find a guy to replace alzner

 

[Habs]

whatever gets rid of Mete.

 

[angusyoung]

Interesting.

Not the type of defenceman we need the most, but still a decent, hard-nosed player.

Keeping the crease clear seems to be the MO.

 

[NotProkofievian]

I don't have any targets for the 5th round anyways. This draft is top heavy.

 

[Sterling Archer]

This must spell the end for Kulak and or Mete. That’s a crowded left side.

 

[HabsMD97]

Does this mean they're looking to trade Chiarot? you can only have so many 5th D

 

[DAChampion]

A bad acquisition unless it's for the Rocket. They'd be better off developing Juulsen, Mete, Fleury, and Romanov.

 

[Sterling Archer]

A bad D ?

???

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Chiarot ? Impossible, maybe Mete or Kulak, in a trade with Domi/Danault.

 

[sampollock]

Is the start of MB giving up the picks

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

A bad acquisition unless it's for the Rocket. They'd be better off developing Juulsen, Mete, Fleury, and Romanov.

Why would we pay a 5th pick for an incoming ufa if he was to play for the rocket...

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I like this move depending on what it means, I expect for this to mean the end of Mete unless he can play on the right side. He's a player I've been wanting for MTL to get for a while now. Value of: - Edmundson to MTL? He's a solid no nonsense guy a la Chiraot.

I'd be pleased with 2 years at 2.5-3M.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Chiarot
Kulak
Edmundson
Romanov

Weber
Petry
Mete
Juulsen

Likely to be our 8 NHL d.

 

[Deebs]

Good acquisition. Big, steady tough defensemen. Nothing flashy, just solid and predictable. Always a good thing

 

[Habsddicted]

Why? Just why?

[Treb]

I'd be pretty unhappy with that outcome. We would lose pretty much all PMD ability from the LD until Struble/Harris/Norlinder makes it (or we sign another PMD LHD).

This must spell the end for Kulak and or Mete. That’s a crowded left side.

Or one of them is 7d.

 

[The Nightman]

Slowly collecting all the Joels

 

[Adam Michaels]

Edmundson was with Jake Allen for many years in St. Louis. They won the cup together, too.

 

[le_sean]

I’ve always liked him but I’m not sure he moves the needle. He’s another Chiarot type.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Whatever keeps Omelet off the menu is fine with me

Now can he open his own pickle jars?

 

[Draft]

Good pick up. The blueline is getting a little crowded, but this will allow us to keep Romanov and Fleury playing top minutes in the AHL.

Chiarot-Weber
Edmundson-Petry
Kulak-Mete

That's my guess for the lineup.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Slowly collecting all the Joels

Who are we missing?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Slowly collecting all the Joels

True!

Joel Armia
Joel Bouchard
Joel Teasdale
Joel Edmundson

 

[Adam Michaels]

Who are we missing?

Joel Quenneville
