Joel Edmundson was acquired by the Carolina Hurricanes in a trade that sent Justin Faulk to the St. Louis Blues. Many wondered if the trade was a good one. After all, Faulk was an all-star defender.

Edmundson is not one to shy away from physicality, the 6’4 215 pound has no need take a step back. His size will not let him.
