Joel Edmundson has becomed loved by Caniac nation. He’s made some great defensive plays while partnered alongside Brett Pesce. So why is it time to move the big Brandon, Manitoba native out of the top 4?
Well, lets start with how he’s played this season. Steady Eddy three goals and six assists this season and is a +9. From those stats you’d suggest he’s been fine for a stay-at-home defender. However, the analytics suggest something else entirely. Before I dive into those, Edmundson has not been playing well over the past few games. He’s looked overwhelmed, and these numbers prove it.
