Confirmed with Link: Kings sign Edmundson 4 years x 3.8 million

[bland]

I guess Craig Ludwig wanted a NMC.

 

[GameNight]

Wait. They're gonna put him with Clarke, aren't they?

 

[theMajor]

i was with blake on all of the moves until today, did he boof some ayahuasca last night or what?

I guess Craig Ludwig wanted a NMC.

Blake signed Ludwig's shin pads to a $1MM deal and added the second year to make a team think twice in case the pads are sent to Ontario.

Masterclass.

is this actually confirmed yet? im holding out hope that its somehow not real or not as long/expensive.

Still not listed on TSN free agent tracker

 

[Lt Dan]

It's like they are trying to make the team worse on purpose

 

[Fat Elvis]

This is a fireable offense. GDammit.

Can't wait to hear how they spin this. It's a desperate move by folks who do not have a pulse on today's NHL. Got out of a horrible move just to make this! Not a GD thing was learned.
Fire Luc immediately!!
Clean house

How did we end up paying more for Edmundson and Kuemper than what we were paying Dubois?

 

[major frank burns]

And so begins the agony of seeing how much less some better players are getting paid by other teams.

[SettlementRichie10]

You guys, it’s Rob Blake.

 

[johnjm22]

This reminds me of when Bergevin signed Alzner.

 

[bland]

Have we signed Sprong yet?

 

[Sol]

This is why i was telling those who were ready to hop on Blakes micro that there is nothing more dangerous than that man with cap space

Who is doing the pro scouting for the LA Kings?

Once again the Kings acquire a player who looks good on paper, who fits a prototype they desire, but is actually terrible (PLD, Jeannot, Edmundson, Kovalchuk, MacEwen).

[KingsHockey24]

Zero redeeming qualities about this signing.

Actually it's probably the worst contract given out all day across all 32 teams.

Jeannot hasnt even played for us yet and you're writing him off...

He sucks.

Maybe he has a bounce back season in his contract year, but he was never really that good.

 

[lumbergh]

That’s a lotta dough for a pylon. Makes no sense.

I mean Luc hired Blake Bolden literally because he happened to run into her at a game one time and offered her a job. It’s not a stretch to say that he applies the same rigorous interview process to the rest of the pro scouting staff.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I would have rather re-signed Roy.

6'5 pylons have gone up in price I guess
