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

[Raccoon Jesus]

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

I'm not personally writing him off

But why does every signing have to be a reclamation project?

These guys painted themselves into a corner with poor asset and cap management and construction so they have to overpay to fill needs that are self inflicted wounds and thus we end up with guys who NEED to "bounce back" and it's a never ending stream in PLD Kuemper Jeannot Edmundson i mean

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Edmundson...well he'll be a dependable 5-6th D-man but for 4 years? By that time Dvorak,Kirsanov will have headed back to Europe because they couldn't handle anymore BS lies...when most NHL teams are getting younger and faster the Kings are getting slower and old...but are adding size which will mean nothing cause you can't hit what you can't catch

 

[johnjm22]

If Kuemper doesn't bounce back, the Kings could miss the playoffs.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Let's look at the numbers shall we?

Joel Edmundson:
Hits/60 - 5.43 (Englund - 10.45)
Blocks/60 - 4.41 (Englund - 4.81)

We just signed an older, dollar store version of Andreas Englund for 16 million dollars.

This is how Blake views the back end:

Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Edmundson
Englund - Burroughs
Spence
Moverare
Clarke

Kuemper
Rittich
Copley
Portillo

all of this is fascinating

Listen, I'm no fan of today's shenanigans, but there is no way Blake is viewing Clarke as lowest on the totem pole.

However, I can see them moving Spence for a scoring top 6 winger. Nothing is off the table to Blake. He's locked himself in his bunker and is going to wait out the war.

So a slight upgrade over Englund but still shouldn’t be playing on a playoff contending team? Boy, sign me up.

Reclamation projects like Mitchell, Williams, Gagne. 31 year old defensive defensemen for 4 years for a larger % of the cap like Scuderi(and Mitchell for the %).

There is no upgrade.

He is worse than Englund.

And Englund's defensive metrics are a lot better the Edmundson's.

On top of that, Edmundson takes more bad penalties than Englund and he's abysmal on the PK.

It’s baffling.

I said slight which isn’t actually an upgrade at all, let’s be honest. He will just getting more playing time, unfortunately.

6'5 pylons have gone up in price I guess

Well I guess the size of the pylon is important. Get a taller pylon for more dollars! Great value!

Hahahahahaha

You have lived long enough here become a total meme of your past self

 

[johnjm22]

It's amazing how far in life just being tall will get you.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Derek Forbort signed 1 year/1.5M in VAN.

We signed.... Joel f***ING Edmundson for FOUR YEARS FOR ALMOST 16 MILLION DOLLARS.

 

[riznat]

god damnit, its on TSN now, i had some hope after that tweet that it wasnt actually finalized yet that it wasnt going to happen. Why 4 years?!?

 

[Steve Zissou]

Edmundson isn’t just an overpayment - it’s a f***ing colossal mistake.

 

[bmr]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse. I'm *REALLY* not looking forward to watching this team next year. It's a slow-motion train wreck and it's about to get worse.

 

[SlimCharles]

Ugh, we really need a new front office badly..... it's just going to get worse.

 

[MonkeysUncle]

Bad, bad deals, today and to think Erik Gustafsson got 2x2 and Chychrun was pretty much given away, we could of had both or at least one of them. This has to be one of the worst management teams in nhl. They cant get out of their own way.

 

[tigermask48]

With Burroughs, Jeanott, and Edmundson all having the knock on them of taking penalties, it really makes me wonder where that near top of the league PK ends up next year.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Who is doing the pro scouting for the LA Kings?

French to English ChatGPT

That's actually our only hope. For us to have such a bad season that Blake can finally get canned.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I would take OEL for 300k less.
