Canadiens receiving calls on member of their leadership group
Training camps are right around the corner and we're less than one month away from the start on the 2022-23 NHL season, which means trade rumours will begin to pick up very shortly.
According to TVA Sports' Renaud Lavoie, the Montreal Canadiens are receiving calls on 29-year-old defenceman Joel Edmundson, who was just named a permanent assistant captain by the team on Monday.
Edmundson, a native of Brandon (Manitoba), is entering his third season with the Canadiens after he was traded to them by Carolina in 2020. Injuries limited him to only 24 games during the 2021-22 season where he put up six points (three goals, three assists), 35 penalty minutes and was a minus-one.
It seems pretty unlikely that Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes would trade Edmundson, as he's arguably their most important defenceman heading into the 2022-23 season, but anything can happen and if an offer wows Hughes, then it's entirely possible he pulls the trigger.
