The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired defenseman Joel Edmundson from the Washington Capitals. In exchange, the Capitals receive a 2024 third-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick. Washington retained 50% of Edmundson's cap hit as part of the swap while the Montreal Canadiens are also retaining money on Edmundson's contract due to a trade with the Capitals last season. The rugged veteran stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs 221 pounds and offers plenty of physicality. Edmundson has appeared in 44 games this season, recording one goal and six points but also has 59 hits and 49 blocked shots in that time. He recorded 112 hits and 149 blocks along with 58 penalty minutes in just 61 games with the Canadiens a season ago. William Lagesson is expected to be placed on non-roster waivers in order to clear a roster spot for Edmundson.--Brenton Kemp
