How dare you, Edmundson has a stanley cup ring. Not just anyone can get those!

 

[Shizuka]

The proposed value being floated for Edmundson (Bourgault...).. I mean, how stupid can you get? With those huge contracts of McDavid, Draisaitl, Nurse alone they are going to rely on players with entry level contracts pushing up through the system by necessity. So they will trade one of the more promising young forwards for someone like Edmundson?

Just such stupid asset management, but given that it's Holland, well.. seems par for the course to completely get schooled on any trade. He should be fired into the sun if he makes that trade -- but I didn't think he should have been handed the GM role in the first bloody place.

The worst part is the "Edmundson isn't available, but Bourgault would get them to listen". No shit. It's a massive overpayment. Obviously they'd listen.

If Edmundson isn't available, just get one of the other dozens of bottom pairing defensemen that are. The imaginary "Stanley Cup experience" means dick all.

lets keep this civil

Luke Schenn makes *much* more sense to me than Edmundson ever will. Trouble is Vancouver's right on our asses so won't be selling pieces anytime soon.

This X1000. I’m sick of hearing about Edmundson, In fact I’m sick of all the terrible trades we make for useless players. Meanwhile other teams pay Pennie’s for players that actually move the needle in the right direction….

Yeah, and my uncle committed suicide 11 years ago because he felt stuck and alone and didn't feel like he had anyone he could go to for support.

Sorry for your loss, but I absolutely cannot abide the type of tone-deaf asshole comments like you made about someone that is clearly really struggling right now on and off the ice. JP is struggling and you saw fit to call him a poor baby, whiny, entitled, and a dumb oaf. Not okay, so you can also shove it, good sir.

Are your fingers bleeding from.playing your JP violin too hard?

There is soo much evidence as to why he's struggling and its like 99% self induced. This was evident and well documented his first year but ppl kept hitting the ignore button to blame the org

Is Edmunudson an actual rumour or just a bunch or HF posters getting their panties in a knot about something that will never happen?

Much better to heckle and insult him, right? He did it to himself so he deserves it?

Anyway, I'm guessing McDNicks17 and the rest of the mods would like this dropped, so it's dropped. Wouldn't hurt anyone to show some empathy though.

Luke Schenn is better and cheaper both in contract and assets to acquire.

And he has 2 stanley cup rings.

Much better to heckle and insult him, right? He did it to himself so he deserves it?

Adding to your point because I agree.

Theres a reason men dont talk about mental health or what's going on.

Its unfortunate and a stigma that needs to change.

You mean you werent expecting a 18 year old taken completely out of his element, thousands of KM's from home to have troubles mentally?

It's media guys thinking it's a great idea and the fans being baffled that they're so stupid for thinking it's a great idea while fearing the organization might be onboard with the whole thing

Succint, but I can't argue with the accuracy.

Can we trade Holland for an inanimate carbon rod before we trade our top prospects for an expensive 3rd pairing defenseman.

 

[SwedishFire]

If Holland trades XB for Ednundson, I think there are many Edmontoners personally drive Holland to the airport.

My guess Edmundson takes like a 3rd + yamamoto.

Still an overpayment.

I don't think Holland would make it out of the city alive, let alone find many volunteers to help him escape

Sorry @ChaoticOrange for your loss as well (my comments about my brothers December suicide were deleted but yours left up). If you feel I crossed the line with my comments regarding PJ I apologize.

Taking a forum break. See you guys in the new year sometime.

This time of year f***ing sucks.

Can we use said carbon rod to keep our unstable fans from having a nuclear meltdown?

Hey man - and I mean this - all the best. We both got a little heated. Sorry for my part in it.

I lost my mom in October three years ago, her birthday is in November, and Christmas was her favourite time of year. It f***in sucks.

I get too worked up and emotional about Puljujarvi because he's one of my favourites, I'll freely admit that.

Shoot me a DM if you ever need to chat. Dudes' gotta have each other's backs.

Social issues is absolutely to be expected. Mental health issues are not a reasonable expectation.

Hmmm seems like there's a few of those every year in the NHL, minus the mental troubles. Besides that...it's been 5 years now. Your excuse doesn't apply anymore.

 

[McBooya42]

Good guy Evander...

 

[McShogun99]

I'd rather keep our D the way it is over paying a 1st or XB for Edmunson.
