Blues swing deal for Hurricanes’ Faulk
The St. Louis Blues acquired Justin Faulk from Carolina Tuesday and signed the defenceman to a seven-year, US$45.5-million deal.
The Blues also secured a fifthround pick in the 2020 draft in exchange for defenceman Joel Edmundson, prospect Dominik Bokk and a seventh-round pick in 2021.
A three-time all-star, Faulk, 27 recorded 11 goals, 24 assists and a plus-9 rating in 82 regular-season games with the Hurricanes in 2018-19. Case Keenum will remain the Washington Redskins’ starting quarterback despite an 0-3 record, coach Jay Gruden said.
After the Redskins’ 31-15 loss to Chicago Monday, Gruden was asked if he’s considering starting first-round pick Dwayne Haskins.
“Not really,” Gruden said. “The most important thing is that we have some continuity. I can’t change people every five minutes.”
