Confirmed Trade: [STL/CAR] Justin Faulk (14% retained), 2020 5th for Joel Edmundson, Dominik Bokk, 2021 7th

Wow Blues got fooled. Faulk is really overrated.

No, he's not. In fact, the vast majority of HF seems to have little clue what kind of player he even is these days.

Frig.

I wanted Edmundson.

Great deal by STL.

Depends on what they need. Faulk's one of the higher end PP triggermen out there. Average defenseman in other aspects.

Faulking bokk!! (Jets fan)

 

[FlameChampion]

I like this for Carolina.

Edmundson and Bokk is a solid return. Good job, value-wise. But doesn't make much sense from a "fit" perspective. Seems crazy that Carolina ends up with ANOTHER veteran D, and one who has a 3M+ cap-hit. They were overloaded on D after signing Gardiner. So they trade Faulk and get a good return. Great. Except that part of that return is another NHL D. I'm confused.

Doesn't Carolina now need to make yet another trade? To make room for Edmundson?

 

[Roboturner913]

The Canes essentially wound up with a plug-and-play replacement for De Haan and balance out their left side/ride side with Gardiner in/Faulk out. It just took a winding course to get there.

No, because TVR is injured and won't start the season

Slavin-Hamilton
Gardiner-Faulk
Edmundson-x (pick one of Fleury, Bean, McKeown, Sellgren, Priskie)

 

[InfinityIggy]

I don't know how much Faulk is really going to help the Blues, but I also don't think they really gave up all that much. Bokk is a nice prospect but I don't think they will miss him given their window is right now.

 

[BKarchitect]

Doesn’t really help the blueline logjam in Carolina although Edmundson probably brings a better stay at home/toughness balance to the entire group.

 

[inthe6ix]

Kase is better than what STL sent back.

Can't believe the Ducks couldn't negotiate an extension with Faulk. They needed him more than the Blues.

Wow.

 

[De Montreal]

Isn’t Joel Edmunson pretty good too?

Seems like a good deal for both teams. Gardiner + Bokk + Edmunson > Faulk + De Haan

 

[Curufinwe]

Wow Blues got fooled. Faulk is really overrated.

Those dopes in St Louis can't stop making dumb trades!

 

[MSZ]

Good deal for Hurricanes - traded a rental for some decent assets. Edmundson is a serviceable bottom pairing LD and Bokk is a former 1st rounder who has some nice upside.

It was a rental. He has just signed a long extension(6.5 x 7) with STL.

I'm sure you could have him

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Bokk is a really great pickup, equivalent to what I thought that Faulk would return with an extension. Was just drafted in the 1st round last year, RH shot. Edmundson may be flipped for more picks. Good trade for both teams!

 

[Iceman]

Finally... he has unofficially been traded for 4 years now.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Wow great deal for both sides

Instantly I liked it for STL, then I leaned more liking it for Canes.... I keep going back and forth

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Send Joel to MTL for Drouin, thank you.

 

[CupofOil]

On the surface, it looks like the Canes got Faulked but I think they got Bokk a pretty good return.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Edmundson is a unreal pickup for Canes

 

[PerimeterPlier]

Looks like the Canes got a decent deal. Edmundson's going to play for a while, then get traded for a pick at some point before the trade deadline to extract more value. At least I hope so, otherwise this doesnt really solve the logjam on D.

No. Assuming Edmundson stays around, he'll slot in as the #3 LD

Slavin - Hamilton
Gardiner - Pesce
Edmundson - TVR (prospects until TVR returns)

 

[HanSolo]

Personally I'm glad. I don't think Faulk is what Anaheim needs, no matter how many times people parrot that they need a RHD. Kase for Faulk would be trading a good young forward for an older defenseman who will be 30 by the time making contender moves would even matter. And the Ducks shouldn't be duplicating Cam Fowler's contract for Cam Fowler level defensive ability.

 

[Bevans]

Wonder if the fact Carolina was willing to do this, before we get clarity of Buff situation, is indicative of anything?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I mean there is more risk on Carolina's side, but this seems like a pretty fair deal all around to me.
