Dude! NO! No one is giving up a 1st for Edmundson. MTL would probably need to pay to get anyone to take his contract.

Lol, you’re smart

i wish but unlikely...MTL reporter Brian Wilde confirmed 3 of his EDM sources said there was interest but a 4th said they are going to give Broberg some runway (as they should) and probably revisit in the New Year

This one's not any better than your last one

Giving Broberg regular season playing time, as they should, is unrelated to needing established, professional D to try and win a cup.

The time is now for the Oilers.

lol. I never claimed to be, but thanks!

While I don't agree with this, he's certainly not worth a 1st and a 2nd. That friggin Chiarot trade has sent everyone nutso and I believe that will wind up being the exception rather than the rule. That said, depending on how the market looks at the deadline, I could see either a 1st OR a 2nd. There are potentially some better dmen going at the deadline, like Klingberg who will set the market return.

But no, no way a 1st and a 2nd.

Yep, we’ve heard all this before last season as well.
On the return for Toffoli, Lehkonen, Chiarot, Kulak…
They were wrong then, will probably be wrong again now.

Time will tell.

Edmundson is one of the most underpaid D in the league. Some people here thought Chiarot was overpaid at 3.5mm…and then he signs a 4x$4.75mm deal. Edmundson is better than Chiarot, and he has another year left on his deal at the still cheap cap hit. Translation, the return will be higher, not lower.

But yeah, I get it, most of the commentariat here just like to be negative on other people’s ideas. They’re allowed, but yeah, they’ll probably end up wrong in the end. Not that they probably care.

gross overpay

Can see a 1st and a 3rd at half retained for 2 years but not more than that, Chiarot is def an exception since everyone now knows that trade was a overpay. 1.75mil for a 2nd pair dman w playoff experience and a shut down dman at that, yes he struggling but he also lost his father not so long ago so its def something that might add to him struggling a bit.

holl is better than him rn, would u give that package for holl?

struggling is cute, hes garbage. 3tk 20 gv is far from the shutdown dmen youd want for a first round pick

I may have been exaggerating. But @Wreckless had an original post that had two 1st going to MTL and then quickly deleted it and made this proposition before I could submit my original comment, so I got flustered. haha. Either way, IF, and that's a big IF, MTL does get a 1st for him it won't be in 2023. I can almost guarantee that. Probably not even 2024. The pick would probably have to be after the expiration of his contract. Chiarot is garbage and should be a lesson learned to all GM's around the league, not a guideline for LHD trades.

Holl, lol. Funny. Leave it up to a Leafs fan to equate a top 4 D on a cup winner to someone who’s never won a playoff series. Another genius for the ignore list.

it sounds funny but its the truth

did i hurt ur feelings? you can look up the stats if you wnt, holl is a better dmen as of right now.

You’re getting banned for life for that comment. What a horrible human being you are.

3 years ago he had 6 tk with 69 gv, hes just not that good, so his experience on winning teams isnt worth jack, and his personal life isnt affecting his play. hes had those horrible numbers for a few years now, he might be worth a 3rd

Montreal fan trolling haha.

I’m not allowed to root for Edmonton? Oilers games are absolute must see TV imo. You’d do well to add exactly this player.

his 6 tk vs 69 giveaways are a huge add to any team i am sure.

He isnt worth that even at half retained he isnt worth that.

The Kulak, Toffoli, and Lehkonen trades were fairly reasonable though. That Chiarot trade was awful. But, my bad, I guess I just assumed you were another one of the MTL fans who think everyone on their team is worth a 1st round pick. Either way, I don't think a 2023 1st round pick is on the table for Edmundson. IF a 1st is involved it will be 2024 or later and have pretty heavy protections.

For those who think Chiarot is the exception and shouldn't have returned a 1st + and that Edmundson won't get a 1st + 2nd, I would like to remind you that Kulak who is a good bottom 4 D man but is no where near the same calibre as Chiarot returned a 2nd a struggling prospect and a 7th. Chiarot's return is on par with a middle pairing guy on a decent contract with retention. Eddy will return better than Chiarot (if he can remain healthy) Expect the return to be around a 1st + 2nd or good prospect. Using Edmonton as an example the return would be 2023 1st + Holloway or Schaefer, if we have to take back cap you can expect to upgrade the prospect to like Bourgault or Broberg depending on the amount of cap we take back (if it's just Foegle then maybe you just add a 3rd if it is Foegle and Puljujarvi or Barrie then the prospect is upgraded)

Toffoli and Lehkonen went for less than Habs fans on here expected and Chiarot went for about what they expected. Habs fans were getting 1st, 2nd and prospects for Lehkonen and multiple 1sts and top prospects for Toffoli.

A lot of it comes down to who's available on the market. Ghost is having a heck of a year and I'm sure AZ will look to move him, and Klingberg will likely be available. If Edmundson goes for a 1st and 2nd, what in the world could Ghost or Klingberg get? Those guys are both worth more than Ed, but does him having one more year on contract be a positive or negative? All these factors will affect this. Could he get a 1st? Totally possible, but gauged on everything else my guess is a 2nd with maybe a mid-level prospect.
