Eklund Rumor: Leafs in on OEL

[ottomaddox]

"One source speculated today that McDonagh wasn't the kind of bidding war the Leafs wanted to get into...But Oliver Ekman-Larsson was more Lamoriello's style. Couldn't agree more..."

Kinda shuts it down.

 

[RABBIT]

You mean EK was wrong? Shocked....shocked i tell ya!

Blasphemy. You should feel shame.

Apparently the boy wonder can lie.

This just in:

Coyotes sell whole team, 2 bottles of Pepsi and the entire state of Arizona to the Maple Leafs in exchage for Auston Matthews who will now play professional baseball because there is no hockey team. E5

 

[BlueGreen]

E5?

I appreciate you. Arizona summers get hot, nothing like an ice cold 2 liter to dehydrate me more.

Are GMs allowed to discuss extensions with players prior to the July before their contract ends? Always thought they weren't.

 

[ottomaddox]

So leafs are in a bidding war for McDonagh?

 

[MR4]

Guys, Eklund didn't even say Leafs are in trade negotiations, just said he's more their type. But why are threads being made off Eklund still

You can talk, but no "handshake" agreement" is enforceable. Only what is signed and sent to the NHL head office on or after July 1 is enforceable.

We all know Oli Boy isn't getting traded. Change the name to E.Karlsson.

 

[613Leafer]

Funny how his rumours seem to always involve major market teams (i.e. ones that would increase traffic to his website).

Not many Eklund rumours between Arizona, Columbus, Florida, Carolina, Dallas, NYI, etc.

Apparently

 

[Alan Wake]

Let's lower expectations. No way this deadline will see Karlsson, McDonagh and OEL all moved.

We'd all love to see that since it would be insane, but it won't happen. Let's just hope one, maybe two of them get moved.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Breaking News
- hearing from multiple sources that leafs are in on a big name player from a non-playoff team. More to come.

 

[BlueBaron]

He's kind of like a living jinx thread. Now we have no hope in hell of getting OEL.

 

[Leafin]

Safe to say the leafs will not be getting OEL.

 

[Captain97]

Sorry leafs fans I know you had hopes of acquiring OEL.

 

[TheScandal89]

Besides the Richards to LA trade. Has this guy ever got any other rumor right? Does anyone know

He did get the Del Zotto signing in Philly correct, But then again he's a Philly blogger and might've gotten inside information on that one. But other then those two i don't think so.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

it's like he has a hat full of names of possible trade targets and a hat full of team names and just draws at random and shares it with the world
