CANADIENS JETTISON JOEL EDMUNDSON TO D.C.

The Washington Capitals acquired defenseman Joel Edmundson from the Montreal Canadiens for a third-round draft pick in 2024 and a seventh-round draft pick in 2024.

What does it give the Washington Capitals
Edmundson is a solid defensive defenseman who brings size and physicality to the Capitals blueline. He will likely play on the third pairing.

What does it give the Montreal Canadiens
The Canadiens have a lot of young defensemen, so someone had to go. Getting two draft picks for Edmundson is very good.

Fantasy impact
There is not a lot of value in Edmundson, so he is not recommendable at this time.
