Eklund is a clown

 

[Love]

Does anyone else here remember when Sportsnet brought Eklund on for the TDL special? And he was just this shadowy figure in the studio? That was classic.

If I remember correctly Eklund looks like a hybrid between Jeff Daniels' character in "Dumb & Dumber" and an actual umbrella.

Florida doesn’t have a 1st or 2nd. A 3rd round pick does seem like a fair return to be honest

I do and I have looked for years on YouTube for those clips

Discuss

I get it you want to be first. Personally anyone who's only addition to anything is 'discuss' is someone who should be mocked and banned from making threads

 

[General Fanager]

I hope we find out soon...its almost my bed time

 

[Habaneros]

Will he actually get one for the first time in nearly a decade?

buckle up, we are now entering Hoogie Boogie land

 

[BLNY]

Gonna love it if he doesnt get a 1st rounder like every Habs fan thinks he will. It will be hilarious.

All the old "every 'insert team here' fan thinks" hyperbole. What they think is based on the chatter since the fall. Laugh at the chatter from the talking heads and what they gathered around the league if you want. Has nothing to do with the fans.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Why is Eklunds colour now this green thats so close to a Signing thread colour. It used to be a weird brown which let me rightfully know I could ignore it.

As a Habs fan I would unironically be happy with a 3rd round pick for him. The possibility that GMs are willing to pay more than this is hilarious to me.

I am discussing

lol

If that was the best they could do, they would just resign him and try again next year

Habs can get 1st round value without a 1st round pick. Reasonable Habs fans have been saying this from the start.

So according to his scale this means multiple sources with direct ties to the players or teams telling him the deal is done but not announced.

Would be a pretty bad look if nothing came of it, but he's had a bunch of bad looks.

So he’s not going to Florida.

Source: Eklund said he was

EDIT: Blind squirrel finds a nut. The boy who cried wolf was serious this time. Etc etc

In a rush to post this OP was either lazy or too stupid to post a link. EKSUCKS is a legit source here for unknown reasons and you can link to him

Never thought I’d live to see it.

I wish the site had the option to let you pick the colors. It would be really useful.

He has, but he's never declared an E5 that was false. Looks like it's a done deal.

If I were Eklund I would’ve been so nervous that whole day. It’s like being in meetings with a client where you didn’t prepare or just have no f***ing clue what they’re asking you, except the meeting is all day long and it’s on national TV.

What’s the NHL insider equivalent of “That’s a great question. I don’t have an answer for you right now but let me do some digging and get back to you asap.”

 

[al secord]

Oh shit. E5?

E5 is more reliable than Friedman don’t @ me
