Edmundson returned to the lineup in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/canadiens\/\" target=\"_self\">Montreal Canadiens<\/a> game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/kings\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Kings<\/a>. One team wanted to see Edmundson showcased, so he was placed into the lineup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">INSIDER TRADING: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TradeCentre?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#TradeCentre<\/a> Eve Edition\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Latest on Joel Edmundson<br \/>&#8211; Senators still working away<br \/>&#8211; Jets\u2019 discussions on whether to add<br \/>&#8211; How much more will the Canes do?<br \/>&#8211; Who could VGK be interested in?<\/p>\n<p>WATCH: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TSrcBIAqKB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/TSrcBIAqKB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MJiffjzBC4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/MJiffjzBC4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TSN Hockey (@TSNHockey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TSNHockey\/status\/1631437840159481858?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 2, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>One of the teams that was interested in Edmundson according to LeBrun is the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/flames\/\" target=\"_self\">Calgary Flames.<\/a> However, fellow TSN insider Craig Button said it&#8217;s puzzling that the Flames would want the Brandon, Manitoba native. Button said the Flames need to address inside scoring upfront before taking a look at their defence.<\/p>\n<h3>What a Joel Edmundson Trade Would Mean<\/h3>\n<p>Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes is hoping for a similar return to what he got from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/chiarbe01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-02_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Chiarot<\/a>. The Florida Panthers paid a hefty ransom to make the deal for Chiarot. Montreal may not get a similar package, but something close to it would be a nice score.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadiens do have an exciting future and haven&#8217;t played like a team just trying to end the season. Head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/stlouma01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-02_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martin St. Louis<\/a> has these younger players doing well despite a run of injuries. Montreal will be a factor in the next seasons with a good core that includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/caufico01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-02_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cole Caufield<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/suzukni01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-02_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Suzuki<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n<p>Calgary knows it has to do something to get back into the Stanley Cup Playoff race. The Flames looked like an early-season contender, but have fallen flat. General manager Brad Treliving has to do something with time running out on the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big day is nigh as we&#8217;re hours from NHL trade deadline day.
