Eklund Rumor: Domi back to MTL ?

[Agalloch]

"The Jackets are looking for a new home for Max Domi, and I am hearing Montreal may have interest in bringing him back to the Habs. Talks were described to me as “exploratory” but safe to say there is a mutual interest there."

Thoughts ?

Just a quick reminder that Eklund has a well deserved reputation for making up rumors. Consider the source. He's got a long, long, long track record of incorrect insider information.

The Eklund tag on HF is there, not to legitimize him, but to warn posters to avoid the discussion if they so desire.

I can't be clearer than that without breaking site rules.

Ahh Domi is potentially, possibly, maybe on the move.

 

[Agalloch]

So what would it cost for MTL ? 3rd round pick ?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Classic Eklund

I think the best question is "why would Montreal be interested?" That said, if the Jackets want to take Drouin back there might be some interest. I wouldn't be incentivizing the extra year that Drouin has though.

Seattle, a team with very little scoring talent, just declined to take him for free.

They were stupid to do that. But they did. And it does have an effect on setting his trade value.

Mid round pick (3rd at best), and send a cap hit going back.

Iam not too sure about this one,pretty sure there was some hard feelings when he left...Maybe they have mended fences??

Why would a team low on scoring take Domi?

He has been in the league for six years now, that 70 point season is clearly the outlier here

if the Jackets want to take Drouin

Eklund saying that Vegas and Eichel are close is hilarious when Vegas still has to get under the salary cap.

This would be a typical bargain bin Bergevin buy low. But as was stated above, Eklund is little more than clickbait and needs to have his site taken down for spreading misinformation. I'm sure there's a pretty good political joke that I hope somebody can make while not running afoul of a moderator.

Can remember Spector writing writing once on this. He said that Eklund had a good handle on what the rumours were. Note the the word "Rumour". There is always talk out there and most trades discussed do not come to fruitation. Note the word "Rumour".

Semantics. How about "a team needing forward help"?

Imagine a lineup of Domi, Drouin, Suzuki, Caufield, Gallagher? It would have to be the smallest top 6 in NHL history.

 

[Djp]

Are you saying he’s rarely right?

what color is the header?

back in the day he had some Philadelphia sources on things they did.

I did note the word "rumor". I specifically said he has a reputation for making up "rumours".

Even outside hockey, rumors are often made up just to get attention.

are you serious big guy ? coming from a leaf fan it's odd considering your team is better suited for ringette

Wouldn’t any trade for Domi see Drouin going back though?
Maybe the Eklund rumour us just making a logical connection?
Domi for Drouin kind of makes sense.

It’s funny you took offence to what I said, I didn’t say there was anything wrong with it. But in classic fashion you attack me strictly because I’m a leafs fan.

Just like some other clown site was saying Galchenyuk was about to sign for a year with the Habs. I'd be really surprised if either comes back.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Louis Leblanc back to Montreal... e5

 

[Kranix]

On the topic of tags, there should be a "Friedman Wonders..." tag in addition to the "Friedman" tag.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Sounds like an E4 rumour from Ek
