Joel Edmundson was supposed to play in Sunday afternoon’s preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He did not.
This is probably why.
This afternoon, before the Blues pre-season game against the Dallas Stars, the Blues sent Joel Edmundson and Dominik Bokk (as well as a 2021 7th round pick) to the Carolina Hurricanes for Justin Faulk and a fifth round pick in this year’s draft. Faulk was in his last season of a contract before entering UFA status; Edmundson was on a one-year deal for $3,100,000 before he reached UFA status as well.
