Eklund Rumor: COL/NYR...TOR/NYR....STL/BUF

[TheGoldenGod]

On Lundqvist to Colorado...

I keep hearing the Rangers are considering this and that some discussions may occur shortly..The Rangers are not going to strong-arm Henrik of course, but there is always a chance that Lundqvist sees this as an opportunity to try and win a Cup...

On Deangelo...and the Leafs D...

The Leafs are being aggressive when it comes to adding a d-man..we have heard Subban, Vatanen, and others...but today was the first time I heard the Rangers DeAngelo tied to the Leafs...

On Ristolainen...

Hearing the Blues have had discussions with the Sabres in the last 24 hours....Could turn into a multi-player deal as well....one source said up to 5 names could be involved...



....I know Eklund is TRASH but these are fun!!!! STL/BUF "rumor" sounds bananas lol

Armstrong going to fleece Botterill for another cup. Probably Reinhart and Risto for Kyrou, a 1st and 21’ 2nd with a couple of cap dumps.

 

[Fatass]

There is ZERO chance the Leafs have interest in PK.

 

[pockets]

Sakic said last night that he was looking for a depth goalie just to be safe, one that would presumably slide to the Av's #3 goalie when Grub comes back in a few weeks. Doesn't really sound like Lundqvist fits the bill.

 

[bleedblue1223]

I endorse any trade between Army and Botterill.

Only reason it's believable is if Petro walks.

 

[Mckay]

Boo!

 

[MagicalRazor]

Subban 50% retained to the leafs for a second because that's what hes worth with his play at most

 

[Gabrielor]

Hmmm...Buffalo and St. Lou...

JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO

HF Boards: The ROR trade was the worst trade of all time

Botterill: Hold my beer

Sounds like colorado could use a famarilar name, Jonathan bernier...

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I don't care if they're phony I just need some f***ing action, been real quiet and boring the last 48 hrs

 

[tucker3434]

If Lundqvist was a rental, I’d be all over that. But he isn’t and he’s making $8.5m next year, so...

So the Rangers are considering a conversation with Colorado but haven't started? WTF kind of shit is that?

 

[dumpin]

No way I would deal DeAngelo, unless it was one of those offers "you can't refuse". He just makes so many things go in the Rangers offense. His standing up for team mates, locker room presence / humor, and toughness would be tough to replace.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Oh yeah the Leafs could 100% afford Subban. All they’d have to do is offload that Matthews contract

 

[Fatass]

Subban 50% retained to the leafs for a second because that's what hes worth with his play at most

No way PK is worth anything now. He has (because of his contract) negative value. The Devils would have to add sweetener to any deal dumping PK, even with max salary retention.
Leafs have no interest in PK.

 

[dumpin]

If Lundqvist was a rental, I’d be all over that. But he isn’t and he’s making $8.5m next year, so...

The Rangers could pick up 50 % of his remaining deal.

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

Sakic said last night that he was looking for a depth goalie just to be safe, one that would presumably slide to the Av's #3 goalie when Grub comes back in a few weeks. Doesn't really sound like Lundqvist fits the bill.

Imagine after all this speculation it ends up being Charlie Lindgren for PE Bellemare

 

[sufferer]

DeAngelo to the Leafs sounds absurd for both sides. All of these do, actually. It even looks likes he's trying to make a complete bullshit feel-good story a la Ray Bourque with that Lundqvist trade.

 

[BFLO]

But seriously. If Botterill gets bent into a pretzel again by Armstrong I could see other teams protesting and lobbying the league to block the trade on the grounds of collusion or anti-competitiveness.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Buffalo and St. Louis? Ryan O’Reilly wasn’t enough for Botterill?

Seriously though doubt anyone in Buffalo want to trade with us.

 

[Gabrielor]

Buffalo and St. Louis? Ryan O’Reilly wasn’t enough for Botterill?

Seriously though doubt anyone in Buffalo want to trade with us.

It’ll cool eventually, but yeah, any trade ideas you guys have with Buffalo probably starts with a “include 2 1sts clause”, in order to start repairing from the bludgeoning that was the Voldemort trade.

Trust me, half the people in Buffalo still aren't aware that we lost that trade because we were "bad with ROR anyways, so who cares?"

 

[bleedblue1223]

But, there is also the Botterill clause, so you have to take Bozak and Allen.

 

[Gabrielor]

But, there is also the Botterill clause, so you have to take Bozak and Allen.

I was jokingly going to ask who your two biggest cap dumps currently are.

So it’ll be Ristolainen for Bozak, Allen and your 10th best prospect.

Don’t need a RD you say? No problem. Just trade him for a 1st before Monday. Your last trade partner probably even explained how to flip Buffalo assets, since he just did it lol.
