NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kings sign Edmundson to 4 x 3.8

[funky]

The only positive is he is more useful than PLD, and will probably be noticeable in more games than PLD by far despite only playing in half of them The contract is ridiculous though, but at least it isn't $8.5M He owes his agent quite a few steak dinners...

Watch PLD get 80 points every year and blame Kings coaches for saddling him with NHL replacement players. It would be such a Kings thing to happen.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of the NHL off-season | TSN

After a hectic start to the NHL off-season that saw hundreds of signings worth an excess of $1 billion in salary, it’s three Pacific Division moves — Viktor Arvidsson in Edmonton, Joel Edmundson in Los Angeles, and Chandler Stephenson in Seattle — that stand out as serious outliers.

Schedule the pregame ceremony to recognize Blake for not making the ugliest free agent signing in the division.

Are we supposed to be impressed by this clip?

I can't tell if this is supposed to make Edmundson look good or bad.

He falls down and fails to retrieve the puck. Meanwhile McDavid gets the puck up to Brouchard at the point and the Oilers are setup in the Leafs' zone.

Probably posted less so for the puck retrieval and more so for the McDavid yelling out in pain part

Falls into the "harder to play against" attitude that Blake is currently course correcting to

Not pointing this out to disagree with you though, this was still a horrendous signing

He'll do a great job putting us on the PK.

Hey, at least other fans around the league can appreciate this crap contract courtesy of Rob Blake.

Between Edmundson and Kuemper he really f***ed us up worse for 4 years than PLD.

Disagree

Neither Edmundson or Kuemper look like Dick Dastardly. PLD totally does

The less chance that we have Muttley laughing at us, the better

As do all the guys that bring grit and sandpaper. How he does defensively is what will make this a good or bad signing. If he anchors Spence and/or Clarke, allowing them to drive offence then it’ll be a good move. Don’t get me wrong I’m not convinced by any means but IF hes healthy he can do a solid job on the 3rd pair, albeit a touch over paid with too much term.

if by noticeable you mean due to taking cross checking penalties than sure

and not unrealistic either, but only a small window to cut bait so will have been the right call based on his performance while here. Not on coaches fully though IMO as the GM needs to acquire correct players for specific Roles.
