vejmelka trade sucks

No room for Edmundson.

He can play both sides but I think Stevie can do better. Stevie does like big Defenseman though.

would be a decent 3rd pairing option but i agree you likely could expect a younger d man with equal if not more impact to be brought in

Arizona has assets out the wahoo. They don't need quantity trades, but quality.
(Assuming they are ever going to compete and be anything other than a resource drain.)

Winnipeg will want an earlier 1st or at least a conditional for next year (lottery protected). Adding Harris and a bunch of lower picks with Kovacevic is just unnecessary past that.
Add a mid pick or equivalent instead. Maybe another if the 1st does get pushed to 2025.

Move Edmundson for whatever you can before free agency. A 3rd, 2x 4ths, conditional, doesn't matter. We need to move at least one LD (and Wideman, but he can be buried).

I was a big Edmondson guy when he was a ufa but there's just no room on the left in Detroit and I'm not convinced he can play good enough on the right.

Even if he *can* play both sides, the fit still doesn't make sense and I think Montreal could get a better return than that from a better fit anyways
