On social media, it's important to read carefully and pay attention to certain nuance. For example, there is a big difference between a "trade proposal" launched for fun, to make people talk and to entertain, which is quite different from a "trade rumor".

Today, we're talking about a serious trade rumor, involving the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers.

This comes from a good source:

"I know three good reporters in Edmonton who say Joel Edmundson could be a target for their blue line (to the Oilers). I'm working on talking to a fourth (source) who is normally very reliable.


No idea what he (Edmundson) could fetch, but it's a realistic scenario (that he be traded to the Oilers).

They need some 'grit' out there (and besides) he's signed for a few more seasons." - Brian Wilde


To be continued!

So, that doesn't mean it's definitely going to happen, but know that a trade sending defenseman Joel Edmundson, to Edmonton, is "a realistic scenario."

The Oilers are reportedly interested. More details to come.

Would you do it? What would you ask for in exchange?
