I love all the clueless people on this website having to eat their words.
THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THE GAME OF HOCKEY THAN ADVANCED STATS.

Well this is now a great signing, Edmundson is a great Petry partner and his physicality and grit has helped us

I'll hate this signing until the day I die. He's been great in the playoffs, but nobody here can actually tell me he played great in the regular season.

He has a value in the NHL. His contract is just too much for my liking.

He's a PPG defensemen ATM, that's why...


My bad, I interpreted the PPG comment as a serious comment, as I didn't realize the date. Never mind.

I do think this deal has been pretty good for the habs but I can understand why someone might not like it (I've heard he has bad analytics).

Playoff Edmundson vs RS Edmundson is the same as Playoff Price vs RS Price if that helps you at all.

Take it from a leafs fan: player who do better in the playoffs than in the regular season are the best players to have.

Well his advanced stats were actually pretty good this year, so we can say he just did not fit at all in Carolina.

There was the 11 game stretch where he had to drag Weber along with him and they were both pretty bad (Weber was worse), but for the other 44 games, while playing with Petry he was great IMO. He was our 2nd best defenseman in the regular season and it wasn’t close.

2nd best defender on this team isn't anything special in the regular season considering how terrible our back end was in the RS.

I’m not saying he’s a #2D, but he’s clearly worth his contract.

We can agree to disagree then. Besides the beginning of the season and the playoffs, I don't even think he should've been in the NHL, he was that bad.

Oh come on, I would easily take Joel Edmundson on the leafs bottom pairing, or on the jets second pairing if he was put on waivers. Easiest waiver claim ever. Of course he's an nhl player.

Are his analytics really that bad?

Him being a DFD and being top 10 in giveaways isn't a good combo. He couldn't make a simple pass in the defensive zone without giving it away. Maybe he was injured during that long span or something, but he wasn't very good.

Ahh, I see what you mean. I didn't realize he was top 10 in giveaways.

It's even worse knowing that Petry was also top 20 in giveaways. He's an OFD trying to create chances so that's common for a player like him. But generally DFD's shouldn't have that many giveaways.

his analytics this year were very good.

I have absolutely loved his play this year especially in the playoffs

Despite this I do believe I'm not totally sold on him, this contract still has the potential to backfire horribly.

We’ve already made the cup finals because of having him, and it’s not that much money. If he immediately turned into Karl Alzner you could argue that the contract would still be worth it.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the contract but nothing way too special still I’d take that contract any day if the week for good defence
