Hasbs says no, they're not traiding Edmunson

And why buffalo will wants Kuznetsov

I imagine when (if) Eichel gets traded, BUF will look for younger pieces than Kuzy.

I would love it if Caps got Eichel but they just don't have the pieces to do it. Maybe McMichael+Alexeyev+Samsonov+

I don't really think the Caps will get Eichel with everyone else salavating, but let's be honest BUF back is against a wall. They don't have the leverage because everyone knows he wants out. They aren't going to get what he's worth. Kuzy may be a down grade, but still a top line center now and in the near future and they are getting a haul of prospects ('21 2nd and 3rd picks and '22 1st). Not a bad package for a team that doesn't want to be embarrassed every night and still build for the future.

Regarding Edmundson, he's nothing special. Orlov has a lot more upside. Montreal already explored a trade for Orlov, so they can't be that happy with their current D. I could see reducing the picks coming back to just one 2nd or 3rd rounder, though.

Ritzy, aren't 3 draft picks younger pieces? Do you expect someone to hand them multiple proven NHL'ers? Doubtful. They will be lucky to get a 2nd line center in return plus picks. They gotta start building for the future. They are not competitive now or for the foreseeable future.

Edmunson and Petry are a great pairing and he's nothing special you said, well he finished 1rst in + - this season xd

So no

+/- is not the best metric for the value of a player. There have been some mediocre players that were among the league leaders at times. While individual players contribute, its more of a value of the entire team and only in 5 on 5 play.

Edmunson is a stud right now and a really good top 4 d, with weber out no way they trade him. Also, being +27 while the 2nd on the team is +8 it's really that you're good defensively
