Quoting: oilersfan05
I heard Edmundson has really slowed down as of late whether its injury or age. A first round pick for him would be outragous.
I believe it's a lingering back issue but can't remember where I heard it.
He started the season late and that was probably too early, so he hasn't had the time to rehab properly.
No idea why he kept coming back in and re-injuring himself in a season that doesn't matter. Perhaps trying to show his value for a trade, but it ended up backfiring.
He may have been worth a 1st, but repeated injuries have lowered his value and he was never able to get up to speed after the late start to the season.
He's a bit of a risk at this point, but could be a bargain pick up for 2 playoff runs to a team willing to take that chance and let him get back to full health before this year's playoffs.
Conditional pick (games played/rounds won) and an expiring contract could work. A 1st/2nd if the conditions are met this season, deferred to a 2nd/3rd next year if the conditions are not met (or something along those lines). Mitigates the risk somewhat in case he's not fit for playoffs.
