Eklund Rumor: NYI and Canucks talking trade?
- Thread starter Skinnyjimmy08
- Start date
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
with first post, uses draft number to prove players value even though they are struggling. With next post says Virtanen worthless, but drafted 6th. Talking out of both sides of mouth confirmed. Also I wouldn't do that deal.

nucks add. strome is struggling but at least he is an NHLer.
Virtanen is just.....
HAHAHA wow your contradicting yourself bud, can't you keep up with your own bashing?

What do you think NYI would be trying to trade at this point seafoam?
A month back it was the Duchene rumour/price was too high. Is NYI looking for a 2C? Not in the same class, would Sutter be of interest?

NYI is looking for top six forwards, as is Vancouver, so I don't think they are really a good match as trade partners.
Regarding Sutter, I think NYI would view him as closer to a grinder than a skill player, so I'm not sure he'd be of interest. I'd lean no.

Mackenzie is a hack!
Unless one or more managers balked during the phone call and it was cut short. Just use your imagination, there would be some scenarios where someone in the head office would be privy to information. I'm not saying it's true, but it's shortsighted to discount it for that reason alone.

Not that I take anything Eklund says seriously, but would anybody in the NHL office really know whether two teams are talking trade?
Nevermind. Didn't realise this was already asked. Still can't really picture anybody in the head office knowing beforehand, though.

Nelson for Burrows + 2nd?
equal value players, IMO. the 2nd makes up for the age difference.
Van gets a LW/C, and Isles get a RW'er with some grit and experience.

I don't blame you. I wouldn't do that deal...but I wouldn't do it from either side. The isles invested big picks on Strome and MDC, so to trade them both before they are 24 along would hurt. On the other hand, having Horvat as the 2nd line C behind JT would look outstanding. The 'nucks don't do this bc, well plain and simple, Horvat is the best player in this deal. Quality vs Quantity debate...Strome is an NHLer. To what capacity, remains to be seen. He has talent, but is he misused? Change of scenery needed type of thing? MDC looks like he will put up 40 or so points in his first pro season. Not horrible, but not what the isles fans expected. Can he adjust? He's still only 20...but Horvat is only 21. So...yea a lot of rambling but I don't see anything around this group of players working
Eklund's name combined with "a top source at the NHL office" should throw up monster red flags immediately. What exactly would an NHL office exec know about trade talks?
Benning has been on record saying that he will not be trading assets for forward help this year. Some exceptions probably could be made but those exceptions would be a top 6 guy under the age of 24 one would assume.
If Benning makes a trade like this Vancouver fans will get very angry!

LOL Eklund, not even the guys real name, but yeah... nothing to see here...
Unless, I don't know even, I don't see a fit, Vancouver might have interest in Strome or even Dal Colle but, not sure what The Isles would be interested in from Vancouver?
Don't see a D man going back either way, and Not sure Virtanen for Dal Colle makes any sense for the Isles unless Vancouver adds.

Barzal will fill that role next year if he keeps up the pace he's at, plus we only have one right handed natural right wing in Clutterbuck. I think a right wing to play with JT and Lee would be better for the future of the team.

Barzal could fill that role next year, no guarantee he does.
Lee-Tavares-Bailey is a good
first line if you have a legitmate second line.
Strome can be the third wheel on the second like (i.e. Bailey on the first line) if there is a legitimate second line center like Duchene.

I think he's slightly overrated by the fanbase and I disagree with some of the notions about him, namely that he's a defensive stud, but he's on pace for 50+ points as a 21 year old without getting time on the 1PP. I know this is not saying much, but he's the 2nd best player and the best forward on the team and he's been cited as someone with a serious commitment to getting better.
He absolutely has the potential be a 65-70 point center.
