Quoting: titchy_jelly
It's not that I want Edmundson gone it's just we need him gone for younger D spots
Savard is gone next TDL anyways , he'll never see his final year in MTL.
Why? It Robs us of the Value we'll get developing the 6'4 Kovacevic who fits in perfectly here.
Wideman goes to the AHL where he can help Mailloux transition to life as a Pro
Eddy is an ideal 7th Dman and leadership type.
Especially if we actually make a run he's quality in terms of replacement options.
Eddy's already said he's open to playing that kind of role , stepping back and helping guide the kids.
Dude's Dad was a Diehard Habs fan so signing with MTL then a SCF that was his dads dream , just short of a cup win that is.
When his dad passed away Joel began speaking publicly about how important it was for him to stay in MTL.
There's a ton of reasons to keep him but above all else 6'6 and always healthy during the Playoffs .
He's basically a modern day Michal Rozinval who was a key depth piece for CHI during their Prime Cup Years.
He picked up the slack for the youth especially Nick Leddy in particular and Trevor Van Rymsdyke among others
