Which team is going to pay a 3rd?

 

[Foppberg]

I mean, the deadline is Monday... So obviously trade chatter will heat up.

Really break through reporting by Dregs.

Take it with a grain of salt

It's gonna be Florida

The basic rule of thumb is to not bother following these guys' Twitter feeds. 90% is just clickbait.
And if something does actually happen you can be sure someone will start a thread here within 10 seconds after it's verified anyway.

Could this be the day....

Trade talks 5 days before the trade deadline are heating up ? I am shocked by that news

Can we stop using Eklund as a source - even if its a grain of salt - he's less reliable than me

Tippett and a pick? If I’m Florida I’m shipping Tippett out while he still has value. He’s got a nose for the net but I see him as a Hoffman-lite in the future. He’s getting buzz for scoring goals in the AHL since being sent down but he’s a 23 and a former high first pick. He better be scoring at the AHL level. That said he’s got pedigree and his shot will come good at the NHL level at some point IMO. Just not sure there is a lot else there.

You want a doll to show us where the Habs hurt your feelings?

Lol exactly.

Chiarot is guaranteed to be moved within 5 days. There's no scenario that disproves Dregers tweet.

Meanwhile if he's moved tonight it's "insider info". It's a no lose tweet.

Uh no where. I like a lot of the Habs players. I just think Chiarot is massively overrated. Guy plays a ton of minutes, not well and is much better suited to be a bottom pairing guy. Which at the deadline, is worth a 3rd round pick. Although for the habs sake I am sure some team will overpay and definitely regret it.

Nah this is a perfect test for where Eklund currently stands in the growing world of hockey insiders. I wanna see how this one plays out.

Florida I bet is using Tippett+ in Giroux chase

Yeah I don't know why you would throw away Tippett on a guy who would be on their third pair.

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

EDIT:
Well I was way off and made an ass if myself whilst doing it

I guess Every Habs fan can hilariously take the piss out of me now. I deserve it

He will... Unless we get a good prospect.
