<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>suburbanrobot</b></div><div>Agree it seems high on Edmundson, but it's a reasonable bet. Before this season, no brainer he would have been worth every cent of this contract and then some. This is a league in which guys like Marco Scandella, Erik Gudbranson, etc get $4MM deals. The EW contract prediction tool has him at 6 yr/$4.7MM and to this point it has been undervaluing players. I think it's too high on Edmundson but not by much.

Overall could end up being a massive bargain, and if not it's not the kind of deal that's unmovable. Really it just comes down to the question of whether you see Edmundson as part of the core defense moving forward or not? Lock him in now and extend Pietrangelo, and you have your top 4 set for years to come.</div></div>

I’ve seen the EW projection which is honestly the reason I want to trade him. He’s played close to 300 games and we know who he is and will he going forward. He’s proficient at 1v1 defense and brings a lot of toughness but he really struggles with turnovers and penalties and has poor underlying analytics. This would be okay if he had offensive upside, but with 4 full seasons we can say he doesn’t. I’m all for keeping him at his current price because he’s had a great playoffs, but if he demands this much I’d look to trade and maximize value.
