Garrioch looks at Western Conference. Has Clowe at #4 and Boyle and #5 of potential movers.

As for the Sharks....

SAN JOSE SHARKS: GM Doug Wilson isn't trying to reset or retool, he's in a total state of panic. He's called about 29 GM's trying to make deals. Yes, Clowe is available and so is D Dan Boyle, but Wilson is willing to discuss anything. The concern is the same: Wilson has a tough time getting deals done.

I disagree on his conclusion (that DW has tough time doing deals).

Not moving Murray but Boyle instead.

Genius.

 

[JodyShelleysNo1Fan]

If they dont want to tank or rebuild, why trade Boyle? What can he possibly be traded for that can help this team right now?

Sorry, anything from Toronto news regarding hockey rumors is usually utter ********...

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Not LeBrun or Mac or Friedman..so I don't care.

 

[Mafoofoo]

April 3rd we're gonna see Hertl + Clowe + 1st 2013 for Bolland.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Garrioch is just doing his standard trade deadline spray and pray.

[Negatively Positive]

If Boyle is traded it means we're sellers and throwing in the towel. He's one of our most important players and puck-moving and PP would be in shambles without him. Also, if we're trading Boyle it'll probably be for picks or prospects from a cup contender so we won't get anybody back that will help us this year and our offensively challenged team would be even more offensively challenged. We're gonna go from 1 gpg to 0.5 gpg. I don't think DW will trade Boyle because I think he's delusional enough to think we're a cup contender and can pull an LA Kings if we can get to the playoffs.

Garrioch is HQ'd in Ottawa (picked up by Toronto Sun, Edmonton Sun....).

How the heck does Garrioch know that DW is "panicking"? DW doesn't panic.

Maybe he means Picnic.

Maybe he means Picnic.

That would explain why he's having trouble finding a partner to go on a picnic with him among the 29 other GMs.

 

[Kitten Mittons]

Garrioch is an idiot.

Doesn't make him any more credible.

Garrioch is Eklund with a newspaper gig. and hell, I could do what Garrioch does.

San Jose might look to trade some people. Unless they don't.


Boom. Done. Give me a sack of money.

 

[Coily]

Eklund should go on Sportsnet with Garrioch.

 

[The Nemesis]

Eklund should go on Sportsnet with Garrioch.

IIRC, Garrioch isn't even good enough for Sportsnet. I think a few years ago he got a gig at the deadline on The Score (used to be like ESPNNews, until they realized that they're redundant because of the internet. Now they're the sports network for testosterone-poisoned d-bags)

Calling 29 teams about a trade sounds like panicking to me.

Doesn't he do that all the time anyways. Just to kick tires and chat?

All the time. He isn't unusual in this regard.

Sometimes, I think that DW is being "trolled" by other GMs. In recent years, I know that other GMs had shown a lot of interest in Zalewski and Petrecki...two guys that have been absolute busts. I just wonder why there was so much interest there. I then throw in DW constantly trading up in the draft because "someone else is going to pick HIS guy", and maybe DW can't read another GM's poker face.

Garrioch is Eklund 2.0 ...don't believe anything he says.

Highly doubt Boyle & Clowe were available when he was doing his regular rounds like you're suggesting. These rumors maybe started two weeks ago and calling 29 teams about a guy like Boyle in that small a time period or so looks like he's losing it.

How does Garrioch know that? Has he spoken to all 29 GMs? Why would DW even be talking to the likes of LA, Anaheim, Vancouver, etc?
