Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Edmundson is easily defined
Mostly Defensive 'D' / Occasionally provides some depth offense but it's not his area of strength - or what the team requires of him
Matches up against middle six opponents. Logs all of his ice time at even strength and the penalty kill.
Long reach / Huge frame / plays between the dots in the defensive zone / can't stray to far out of position - skating is average for NHL pace - manages the game according to his limitations
Gives all he has in his role
Veteran with playoff experience
Averaged 16:26 TOI with the Caps
44GP - 1G-5A - 60 Hits - 49 Shot Blocks

Edmundson's year was delayed due to injury but he has skated in 38 games and averaged 16 minutes TOI.
The '2-way / leaning Defensive D' is being deployed at even strength and the penalty-kill.
Big body. Long reach. Hard to make plays 'around'. Mid-range physical push back. Credited with 47 hits and 42 shot blocks. Doesn't produce much offense.
At this stage of his career he's an 'in and out' top four defenceman who's likely best slotting in at #5D role on a contending team.
Affordable. $1.75M contract. Expiring deal. Pending UFA. 10 team no trade clause.
