Carolina Hurricanes Trade Justin Faulk To St. Louis

After months of speculation on where longtime Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk would get traded to (if he did, indeed, get traded), we finally know. A couple hours after training camp let out this afternoon, news broke that Faulk would be heading to defending Stanley Cup Champions St. Louis Blues along with a 5th round draft pick in the 2020 draft. In return, the Carolina Hurricanes are receiving defenseman Joel Edmundson, forward prospect Dominik Bokk, and a 7th round draft pick in the 2021 draft.

In the press release announcing the trade, Carolina Hurricanes President and GM, Don Waddell, had this to say about the trade;

“Joel is a big, physical presence on defense, who knows what it takes to win a championship.
