Blake has about 2-3M for some more gritty defenders.

Is Capfreindly still up. What is a buyout on this if we did it today.

What are these idiots smoking. He’s cap dump quality

what a trash signing

so many pylons and he's permanently injured

what are the odds spence or clarke ever see ice this season

 

[Gjwrams]

So we've gotten bigger and slower and still won't be able to puck a f***ing puck in the net! Garbage signing at 3.8 AAV for 4 years.

 

[tigermask48]

Do you really expect anything different from a front office that is this reactionary?

 

[HabsAddict]

Edmy is a decent reserve on a team when the plane crashed and injured the other 6 NHL defenseman....

Honestly, you are better off paying decent assets to get someone like Savard over Edmundson. Even Struble is FAR superior and he's only 22.

I'm certain that BargainBin is the reason you signed Edmy. Blake should be on the line with HuGo to get you real defensive assets that we are drowning in, but with BargainBin plugging his ears, you are in trouble...

Good luck...

WTF is wrong with this turd. 4 F**KING years!!! Let the kids play goodness sakes. F*** off Blake, Luc and Bergavin!!!

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Horrible signing. Has Bergy’s fingerprints all over this one. If they were going to sign him for 4 years, the total contract value should be $3.8, not the AAV.

Blake and company have no idea what year it is and how to build a team. Unfortunately ownership is nowhere to be seen

I wouldn’t be 100% surprised if that was the intent but something got lost in the French to English translator

 

[VILARGOD]

Just seeing this thread, I know it wasn't meant to be a joke but the title got a chuckle out of me

 

[MonkeysUncle]

I wonder what other teams out there were willing to come close to what the Kings dished out. It's such a bad contract for a mediocre player who is hurt all the time, which might work out for La with a couple LTIR during the year.

Before the signing was made official, the TSN broadcast mentioned that a number of teams, including the Bruins, were pursuing Edmundson. Teams like big guys who can hit and fight.

 

[Schrute farms]

It’s like girls with big knockers. Doesn’t matter if they are fat and/or ugly. There will always be some suiters for those big hooters. (Sorry in advance to the PC police)

Ok thanks for the info

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Well he wont catch him much but at least he's not treating mcdavid with kid gloves

A long as when he does catch him he does it properly!!!!!

I honestly am a week into this and still don’t get it. Burroughs was an upgrade in the #6 spot, plays both sides, fights and hits and would allow us to carry Englund as a weaponized #7. He did play well at times last year and fought lots but eventually regressed. Burroughs and Englund as your 6/7 at minimal cost was perfectly fine.

The extra 2.75 mil should have been used to lock up Byfield and Spence then go hunting for a top 6 right shot sniper

 

[YP44]

I could live with the cap hit if it was a one year deal. Makes no sense over four years.
Worse signing of the day and it had to be LA.

 

[johnjm22]

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.

Blake just paid 15.4 million bucks for that hit

Well all we can do is thank Marc Bergevin for such a stellar move. Please some owner hire him away from us, I promise he'll be a gem for you

Laughing stock 2 summers in a row.

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...
