More points than Broberg.

Eddy can take over a game by himself.

Let’s not forget he had a bad back, had a couple of surgeries, and missed a lot of time. Very happy to see him doing well now and staying healthy.

Yeah, no ill will. Just seems like an unfair leap to say the Blues blew it with him.

He is the type of d-man that we need and don’t have… the mail man can maybe turn into him, but he’s a long way from that… eddy is a mean nasty d man that can score… he’s a pronger light… he’s not HOF quality as of yet but his game models Prongs amd we need that serverely

I don't know the reason, but they were not happy with him during the cup run. He was in and out of the line-up during that run. I think if I remember correctly he was partying a little too hard.

We got rid of everyone who would punish the other team. We would lose to the Sharks for sure now.

Since trade:
Edmundson 368 games, 101 points
Faulk 457 games, 250 points

What's more, Blues sent 7th-round pick (guy has not played a game in NHL) and Carolina returned a fifth, which became Matt Kessel.

He dared to go to salary arbitration in the offseason after the cup and armey punished him for it. Not the Armey hater like some but he in my book irrationally retaliated against those who tried to flex their rights. Petro's previous holdout I firmly believed colored how Armey dealt with him.

Army has made all kinds of mistakes with the defense.

I'd put. Mikkola, Dunn, Cole, and Petro as bigger, 'blowing its.
Then there's Krug and many others that wa gave away first and second round picks for.
