Quality Dman. That will shore up the Habs left side D if they get him signed.

This is not the UFA rights trade I am looking for.

Hoping the Flames can get picks like this for Brodie or Hamonic if all sides are moving on

Bergevin is a drunken sailor. He has lot's of picks so he throws some away on a 4 million dollar back up with a ton of goalies hitting the UFA market. Then he throws away a pick for the rights for a dman that will not sign with Carolina cause their stacked on the back end. Hilarious ��.

Looks like he knows what he wants, and understands depth is going to be hugely important in a condensed 2020/2021 season.

If the Flames made the exact same moves CP would have a meltdown.

Edmundson is a very poor defenceman at both ends of the ice, one of the worst in the league. Glad the Flames are staying away from deals like this.

I bet he ends up signing for something similar to what Gudas gets too - and Gudas will be the much, much better deal.

The Habs could've probably gone out in the UFA market in a few weeks and nabbed a good back up. To each his own.

I can’t speak for damage, but I’d sure like to see us shipping out rights for picks. But if hamonic only wants to go to wpg and Chevy knows it, we are sol. Maybe we can get something for the rights to Brodie, if we aren’t bringing him back.

My point was teams being active and yet again so far the Flames are doing squat to fix their problems. I'm out of patience waiting for tree to actually do something...anything to get things started.
Doesn't have to be these types of trades, but a coaching decision would be nice.

Edmundson is slow, isn't particularly agile, and is constantly behind the play. He has not had a positively impactful season in his career and, at worst, he is a significant liability.

Very unlikely they could have got a goalie as good as Allen to sign for a 1 year deal.

I get the frustration, but the draft is still 24 days away - Tree has some time. I’m hoping we see a coach (Gerard) and a trade (with Arizona) announced in the next week.

It's not a race to a deadline, it's a race with other teams.
I think 5 or 6 defenders were moved in 72 hours last off-season.
Trades are dictated by the market, if you wait too long to make deals the market dries up.
The flames shouldn't have been in in edmunson and they probably have no one interested in the rights to Brodie or hamonic, but there IS movement in the market right now and teams will strike first at the assets they have at the top of their lists and eventually there won't be any takers.
Washington wasted no time with Reirden because they wanted to position themselves at the front of the line for coaching candidates.

You taking bets on where the shrewd habs end up in the standings?

Oh I still think their team is structured like absolute rubbish. As it stands today I’d be surprised if they end up in the playoffs - especially if there is in fact a Canadian division.
I think this Edmundson deal is stupid because they’ve wasted a 5th and soon some money on a bad player. On the flip side I think the Allen deal is a solid move.
