We had to make room. His value isn't increasing.
Keyword being former valuable asset. You drunk?
Confirmed with Link: Joel Edmundson (50% retained) to Washington for 3rd and 7th
- Thread starter Gaylord Q Tinkledink
- Start date
Asset management is about getting the best value out of all of your assets in aggregate, not just completely ignoring risks and opportunity cost to obsess over squeezing every penny out of every single asset.
If this trade is selling low on Edmundson after he's had consecutive major back injuries, what would selling Harris after 75 games or trying to move Savard with 2 years left under a flat cap be? How is that not even worse if our goal is supposed to be not selling low? Am I really supposed to believe that the balance of probabilities suggest that 30 year old Edmundson who has had major back injuries in consecutive years is more likely appreciate in value over the next 8 months and beyond than Harris? Not entertaining the Savard thing, it's a flat cap environment and a serviceable 2nd line C in Kevin Hayes retained to just 3x3.4 wasn't even worth a 5th.
To borrow a phrase, maybe I never f***ed the prom queen, but I don't think I would have got much action in high school if my strategy was to dump my girlfriend and sit there with my dick in my hand hoping that the prom queen who flaked out on me two years in a row will be my date in 8 month's time.

i know, i know. But considering his +7 and from the eye test, he was good and reliable . I know that the +- aren't a reliable stats, but when you are + while playing for a garbage team, it shows something positive

They've had opportunities to trade him in the past but didn't because He'S GoOd In ThE RoOm.
Look at Allen. There are teams that could have used him last year or this year. Instead, we resigned a past-his-prime goalie to an inflated contract extension because He'S GoOd In ThE RoOm.
Winners win and losers make excuses.

What about the new head trainer who was heading a staff that helped achieve the fewest man games lost tally in the league last year — would that not have some kind of palpable impact starting next season?
We'll see. It's hard to say because we don't really know what the former staff was doing wrong, only that it was pretty likely they were f***ing up somehow.

Could depend also on how thorough their due diligence was when they came to the conclusion that only two individuals had to bear the brunt of getting axed.
Maybe there are still some rotten apples in there and the new guy might identify the fault lines, given his record and experience.
Can’t certainly be worse than the last two seasons.
Maybe habs injury problems can be summarized as parsimoniously as Russian history: ''and then it got even worse.''

Eddy did lots of the heavy Iifting that got us to the finals.
His body has paid a high price.
Only thanks and best wishes for the future from me for him.

I missed this trade, with Eddy’s injuries etc his value plummeted. I don’t think you could expect more than this. I don’t think Management would draft the right players with a better pick anyway, so meh. At least from a roster turnover I like how Hughes has handled the moving of vets.

We don't really save anything, the cap space will go unused anyway. Just a rebuild-kinda move for a team that is going to get another lottery pick next season. That said why the hell would they want a 7th??
I would have bundled a 7th with him to get a 6th no?

We also don’t know how much of his previous injuries left a mark on him. There’s no secret miracle to cure the body of every ailing. Sometimes a f***ed up back can’t be back to 100%, whoever the doctor (or therapist) is.
Same situation with Monahan who will have a f***ed up hip for the remainder of his life.
