Confirmed with Link: Edmundson to Toronto

[Leaf4Life79]

He's a LHD.

He can also play on the right

 

[mapleleafs34]

This has gotta mean Brodie is gone, right?

 

[Bomber0104]

We are replacing Brodie with Edmundson? So we paid a 3rd and a 5th to downgrade our defence?

Brodie has been atrocious going back to last season.

Between him and Lilljegren, they're actively hurting the team on a game to game basis.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Beauty! A 3rd and 5th with 50% retained.

Sure, but he is just a rental and will walk at the end of the season as he is on the final year if his contract.

This has gotta mean Brodie is gone, right?

One could hope

 

[Gabriel426]

I don’t hate this deal but do wonder where he will fit.
He kills penalty, clear the net, tough and physical, breakup cycle.

 

[Niagara Bill]

If this guy is Wirth 3rd and 5th, we should be able to get that for Brodie and not retain salary.

 

[rumman]

here's a theory, maybe part of acquiring Edmundson was to entice Parayko to waive his NTC and come to Toronto?

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I read that the 3rd round pick was from the Islanders and the 5th round pick from Chicago. Does that mean we still have our own 3rd and 5th rounders to trade?

 

[Niagara Bill]

Yeah I'm pretty over this one. Sounds like he has lost a major step due to injury over the years.

He NEVER had the step to lose.

Brodie has been terrible for quite some time. Any puck that touches his stick in the ozone instantly kills the play. He’s making terrible defensive mistakes now and is soft as melted butter. He looks okay next to Rielly but has looked terrible next to McCabe or Liljegren. Not sure where he fits and given how soft he is, not sure he’s a Tre type dman.

 

[ER89]

The fact he was considered for the captaincy in Montreal after their finals run is a good intangible as well.

We will finally see if a big D makes a difference, this is easily the biggest/heaviest/toughest group we seen here with this core.

He's 30 as well.

It's also the slowest

I was Brodie's biggest fan, the guy was MONEY back there. He fell off hard second half last year and he's been slow and soft this year. People need to compute the guy is a shell of what he was and I can't see him being an asset when the playoffs start.

dreams are nothing more than wishes, and a wish is just a dream that's yet to come true.............

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Rielly - Lyubushkin
Benoit - McCabe
Edmundson - Liljegren

Not sure where Brodie really fits here…

He doesn't fit in the guy is a scrub and hopefully gets moved

 

[egd27]

Being an amateur scout for the Leafs must feel like being as useless as the guy that installs the turn signal lights on a BMW.

 

[DarkKnight]

Usually bigger is, but Brodie is beyond slow and a guy like Benoit is surprisingly fine foot speed wise, ditto Boosh for that matter. McCabe is fine as well, actually has good spurt speed.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Brodie - Liljegren has been a disaster.

They've got a 58% GF% in 167 5v5 minutes together so are you going off advanced stats?

Funnily enough they were on for 7GF and 0GA while Rielly was suspended, mostly as the top pair. Playing with Matthews a lot helps, it turns out.

We all have a step to lose...

Here is his injury history for reference, thats a lot of pain over the past couple years.

DATE/INJURY
1/18/24 Undisclosed
9/27/23 Hand
1/27/23 Upper Body
9/22/22 Lower Body
10/12/21 Back
10/6/21 Undisclosed
8/13/20 Undisclosed
3/12/19 Lower Body
2/9/18 Broken right forearm

 

[Tarmore]

Things get wierder. Timmins was getting healthy and now on LTIR

I'm betting retro-actively, he would have enough time served to be reactivated at anytime.

 

[All Mod Cons]

This has gotta mean Brodie is gone, right?

No one wants Brodie

 

[Hellcat]

Rielly - Lyubushkin
Benoit - McCabe
Edmundson - Liljegren

Not sure where Brodie really fits here…

Brodie is way better than Benoit, as much as I like Benoit, I'd take Brodie on the left side playing 18-20 min a night over Benoit playing 18-20 min a night.

Rielly-?
Brodie-Lily
Benoit - Boosh

Boosh is paired with Rielly but if things were slotted properly should not be higher than #4., Lily Brodie play well together.

Our PP is piss poor, Edmunston is a good PKer. Not an earth shattering move but a move with subtle purpose.

 

[ACC1224]

he's a UFA at the end of the season.

Trolls just don't put the effort in like they use to.

No he isn't, I don't know how anyone watching this team could possibly say that. Benoit is getting better and better, Brodie is becoming unplayable most games.

lol that is the only poster I have blocked, that just reinforced my decision was a good one lmao!
