Edmundson isn't a dump he is a TOP 4 Defenseman.
top 4 is pretty high for a guy who will bounce between healthy scratch and 3rd best LHD in the lineup for his current team (and yes I know he most likely paris with Pietro, he's still the 3rd best LHD in the lineup and only there becuase Jaybo fits best with Parayko and the Blues best LHD, Dunn does best away from Pietro for whatever reason. Also I know the defense minded Stanley Cup champions is a high bar for LHD but lets not act like Gunnarsson is a top 4 "I REPEAT TOP $!!!!!" Defensemen on most teams and Eddy isinterchangeable with him) but regardless Vegas would only move Gusev because of cap space and the Blues would only move him to make room for signing Gusev so no matter how good or worhtless he is , in this exercise Eddy functions as a cap dump for both teams and Vegas can't take on a cpa dump to lose Gusev. Don't be obtuse

MacEachern is a Middle 6 Forward, same with Fabbri with a 4th

Gusev most likely doesn't turn into anything as he is 27 Already, so past his prime, on a new set of ice he has never played on so most likely won't make a good transition anyway
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (takes breath) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ok dude, homerism is a problem anywhere especially on these armchair GMs but at least tone it down a bit

3 you expect Connor McDavid for him you got another thing coming haha. Nice troll comment tho.
Where did I even remotely imply that Gusev needs an established star to come back?
Mostly though, you replied to me twice with this delusion homerism of
1) puffing up Blais and MacEachern (to call them even solid 4th liners is a stretch these are 10 point a season pace lineup fillers that hit. Essentially enforces that don't get into fights
2) puffing up Eddy
3) ripping unfairly on Gusev
And, uh, if this is how you feel, why do you want this trade to happen at all? I mean you are clearly trading two rising Gusev's and a top 4 defensemen for a declining Gusev who costs more AAV. Seems shortsighted
