I think some reporters try to draw a line between certain things and an assumption that Edwards is influencing some of this.
But it just doesn't jive that Edwards would allow the trading off of so many good players, and think that somehow this is still a good team, and therefore they should hang on to Markstrom.

Now if I was to guess, I do think that he will demand an accelerated re-build and may not appreciate that it's not going to be a 2-3 year thing.

But do I believe he is directing the team to not trade Markstrom now to try and win now still. No I don't.
