[Engineer]

 

[Six Assets]

i feel nothing

 

[Senscore]

Oh dear

 

[ItsChaboi]

Boeser, 2019 1st +?

 

[BUCKLE UP]

EK is staying

 

[Spartachat]

Buckle up!

 

[topshelf15]

Oh FFS cant this shit just end.....

 

[harrisb]

Under the condition that we get the following prospects: stud D (Hughes), stud C (Petterson), developing prospect (Dahlin) and a first. Ya then go for it.

 

[topshelf15]

Feels like he is just throwing shit on the wall,as we are still in a complete media blackout...And most media dont know what to think anymore...

 

[stempniaksen]

Assuming one or more of Hughes, Pettersson, Demko, VAN 1st 2019 are involved this would be a a decent package.

Assuming Vancouver is offering Juolevi, Virtanen, ect this is a colossal waste of time.

 

[Clayonator]

Hughes, Tanev, Gaudette, 1st in 2019, 2nd in 2020.

 

[Peptic Balcers]

I don't know if I'm just used to the "TRADE TALKS ARE PICKING UP" tweets/rumors, but this one feels less scary than the others. I feel like he's not going anywhere until the ownership issue is resolved

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Eventually Eklund Friedman will be right with his speculation. He's only been saying Karlsson will be traded for 10 months now.

Any day now...

 

[topshelf15]

There is completely no logic for trading any of the big three now,if we were thinking of moving anyone of them we would have done it by now.....Add in the complete blackout,that we have seen...And it almost pointing to an ownership change,and everything being on hold until this has happened

 

[Tkachuk27]

Hughes Juolevi 1st 2019 2nd 2020

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

I would want an NHL ready center and a dman to replace Karlsson.

Elias Petersson + Tanev + 2019 1st.

 

[topshelf15]

Van isnt going to blow their wad on EK .....They arent ready to make a run yet

 

[Beville]

Yeah, we need NHL ready top 6 forward and a top 3 defender, plus a <2 round pick - as an absolute minimum.

What do Vancouver have that they could even offer?

 

[Silencio]

Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

I think Vancouver ownership is (see Linden steps down).

The other teams involved are not in media blackouts, pretty easy to get leaks out there.

Hey it could be our team leaking crap ...But us actually moving EK now,just doesnt seem to make much sense

Nothing this organization does makes any sense.

 

[topshelf15]

Nothing this organization does makes any sense.

While I agree,players like EK make the team and owner money... they are only ever really moved when its a complete no brainer to do so...I dont believe its shear stupidity that is what is going on here,there has to be more to it

 

[armani]

Nothing stops other GMs from making offers. I think PD's job here is to listen and pass along any interest to Melnyk. And the optimist in me believes that none of that matters with new organizational structure coming soon starting with ownership changes (hopefully a new majority owner) upon which major personnel decisions will be made.
