Why would STL ever do that? Brodie has no term, and has regressed significantly, and Robertson has shown some promise, but could be a complete bust and is injury prone and undersized.

No change that is enough to get a big hard D with a lot of term left.

would take the 1st also

A well rested Gio might actually still be better.

Does Edmundson make Reaves redundant?

Pretty please?
- Atomic Wedgie

no, they combine together to make voltron

People on here are going to be really upset/surprised when they realize the Leafs arent getting Parayko

Dang. He needs to go through waivers? That sucks. I think he'll get claimed for sure.

Probably.

This. He's a big (frank)er too. 6'5" 220. We've needed that kinda net-front size for a while.

I think we're going to see one more D man and that's it.


Rielly, Parayko
Beniot, McCabe
Edmundson, Boosh
Gio, Lily
Lag, Brodie

he needs to put on about 25/30 lbs and start working that pencil neck 🤦‍♂️👊🏿

- Atomic Wedgie

Nope..ones a D and the other is a forward.

Could a package of Robertson Liligren and Minten get it done?
- Snot Dillingham

That's more realistic, but I don't think that's even close to working cap wise.

My thoughts exactly, and I do that trade all day.

- GreatGigInTheSky

Yup, he does, it’s apparently why Robertson was sent down before, because he is the only one they had that didn’t need to clear.

Reaves > Edmundson. At just about everything that involves the game of hockey.

I guess it will take some time for everybody to see who this guy really is.
Or hopefully I'm wrong and Joel freaking Edmundson is the magical key to unlocking the cabinet in which resides the coveted cup of Our Lord Stanley.

So the leafs lose him for nothing.....tre get a low pick for him.

I'd hate to see what it's like on here when people are upset.

220 at six five...does he even lift?

The League has already sent out a memo to Refs to really crack down on cross checking

Hey, let us enjoy our delusion for another 24 hours.

I, for the record, have no doubt Parayko is a pipe dream.

I like Boosh. He's a big guy with a simple game who pairs well with Rielly. I don't see him pairing well with Eddy.
Benoit-McCabe works because there is talent as well as "Snot."
There's simply not enough talent with a Boosh/Eddy pairing.

I'm curious to see how the pairings shake out. I don't think Tree is done yet either, but my hope is Edmundson is this years Gustafson and they simply never play him.
- UsernameUnknown

I don't really care how it shakes out, but Brodie out and Parayko in is a big time upgrade. One can dream.

Not the magical key to unlocking the cup, but certainly makes it more difficult in front of the net.
Which is needed

I really don't understand the move. I understand the reductive aspect: SNOT


But I'm struggling how essentially trading Edmundson for Lagesson and 2 picks makes this team better in the short term and long term.

Probably.
- Archaic

Depends. A non playoff bound team might move a d man for picks/prospects and grab someone like him for free to fill in for the rest of the season.

Am I the only one who liked Lagesson? I don't mind buying depth, but 2 picks for a guy that is in my opinion almost even with Lagesson seems like a waste of assets.
- UsernameUnknown

I liked Lager ok too ...seemed like a good 7th. Edmundson brings experience and size over him ...and the theory is that translates to the playoffs.

I'm not sure where his game is at but I do recall Edmundson being a total pain in the ass in the Habs series. If he crosschecks Tkachuk, Bennett and Cousins in the face the 3rd is great value.

We'll see.

Edmondson played 23 mins a night for the Habs as a cup finalist.

He won a cup with the Blues.

He is 30.

Reaves is 37.

In what way has it convinced you that Reaves>Edmundson?
