Both need forwards and are dangling defence (from what I've heard at least, correct if wrong). Neither are in a position to trade prospects or picks.

Seem like bad trading partners. (what a shock )

 

[Maukkis]

How can he always spit out rumors including two teams with very similar needs? I can't see any kind of fit between these two teams.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah right Eklund The NYI and Vancouver make bad trading partners here. Both need forward help and i doubt either are going to trade D for that forward help.

Strome for Horvat lol

Strome for Horvat lol

More like Strome, Dal Colle and 2017 1st. We value Horvat highly as he will be a legit 1C in a couple years.

Nelson and 2017 5th for Virtanen and Gudbranson

Come on now. We all know it's the rock in his back yard that tips him off to all deals. That rock is his inside source.

Virtanen for Strome

 

[seafoam]

Virtanen for Strome

One's a bad NHL player and one's a bad AHL player.

It's Benning and Snow, with a healthy dose of panic. Take your logic elsewhere.

I don't understand why so many people comment on every Eklund thread when three quarters of the posts will always be 'this guy is a hack' 'so it won't happen' 'why is he a prefix'

Yep. The Eklund prefix is there so people can ignore the threads if they so choose. Commenting on the fact that it's an Eklund rumour in thread will just result in a deletion, as it's spam/thread hijacking.

Easy pass for the Isles.

not going to bait clip the clink--how would a top source in the NHL office know anything? Eklund should know better then to say "top guy in the head office" NHL head office is not in the loop for trades until the phone call is made

Was just about to post this . If a nhl official was tipping him off trade 10 min from being announced.

?? If I was NYI, I would probably do this..

 

[Isles72]

I wouldnt be surprised if the isles had interest in adding some toughness to the lineup .

not sure what nucks have that makes sense

 

[CherryToke]

It's no secret that Benning is interested in Kane and he just announced yesterday that a dman might be availble. Typical Ek picking the low hanging fruit.

 

[unknown]

Benning likes reclamation projects, what would it cost for Strome?

he'd be a good snag for canucks but I doubt snow lets him go cheap just because of his struggles

 

[Braeden]

I have a feeling something around Devon Toews for Mike Zalewski.

What would it take? A 2nd? Virtanen? 3rd + Subban?

 

[Halla]

you think horvat is worth two former #5OA picks, and what would be #3OA if the season ended now?

this is why nucks proposals go nowhere
