Eklund Rumor: Toronto and Montreal in on Vanek

[AcerComputer]

Report: Leafs in on every single player that doesn't fit their only position of need, defense. This has been going on for over 15 years and its the sole reason why the franchise is the laughing stock of the league.

Icing Marincin/Marchyenko in the top-6 for the playoffs was a garbage move by management, you need 7 NHL defenseman for a playoff run and they didn't have that quantity, Marleau cap hit was a garbage signing at the incorrect position again.

Even with a "can't screw up" core, the management group is screwing up a lot.

Here's to another fantastic chance to win the cup (with insane production on ELC contracts) pissed down the tube because of a blatant failure to address the only position of need. JVR, Bozak, Leo or some combination of them will be lost for free, and 2 fantastic opportunities will have been pissed down the drain due to incompetence.

Sorry leaf fans. Maybe next year.

Report: Leafs more likely to win a cup in the next 5 years!. 28 league experts were surveyed and the vote was unanimous, with MTL receiving no votes.

Ughh Habs fans vs. Leafs fans battling which team is better.

Both teams excel at futility. Montreal won't make the playoffs next year and Toronto is far from a contender.

Why mention Montreal?

League experts also predict the Capitals as a shoe-in perennially.

 

[BLNY]

No way Berg revisits Vanek imo. Eklund trying to max click bait.

The title is ckickbait.

Clickbait.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

How does he base his rumours, anyways? Does he actually overhear the GMs talking on their phones?

Half serious question, does anyone have Eklunds track record handy? Has he ever really gotten any right?

 

[NobleSix]

Fakelund from HockeyLies with another steaming pile.

At least try to make these "rumours" believable you con artist.

It's less than 1%.

 

[HuGo Sham]

mtl has pacioretty, drouin, gallagher, lehkonen, shaw, hemsky..maybe galchenyuk. makes 0 sense...habs need C help not wing

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Has Eklund ever been right?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

0.5-1%

 

[Theokritos]

Eklund guarantees that Vanek will sign or not sign with Toronto tomorrow. E5, 100% sure thing.

 

[firstemperor]

Eklund called E4 on Barrie to Toronto less than a week ago.

And he had Stamkos E5 countless times over the last 3 years.

Among others. The guy is a hack.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Vanek already played himself off the Habs once lol. We're definitely not in on him, we have enough wingers.

Has Eklund ever been right?

the only time i ever messaged that site was to ask if i subscribe and pay for membership do any of these 'rumours' start to come true?

[Canada4Gold]

Breaking News: Eklund doesn't look at the cap when making up rumours. We have to move around 2 million already to fit Brown in. How are we gonna fit Vanek in? Trade a better player to sign a worse one?

There really isn't any cap space or spots to play. And there's like 1 contract spot. Unless Vanek is good with signing with the Marlies for a 100k AHL contract this isn't happening. Eklund should at least try to make a little sense when making things up. It might get a handful more people to fall for it if he put in just 30 seconds more work.

 

[LeafSteel]

To call Eeeklund a hack would be to insult all hacks.

The man is nothing less than a steaming pile.

Habs can have Vanek.

 

[JadedLeaf]

Just out of curiosity, when was the last time Eklund was right about anything? And how many "rumors" has he made that haven't been true since then? And why oh why does he still have a prefix on hf boards? I'm sure there are a bunch of posters on here that have had more hits and less misses than Eklund.

 

[JadedLeaf]

How does he base his rumours, anyways? Does he actually overhear the GMs talking on their phones?

He has a list of every single player in the NHL and another one with the names of all 31 teams in the NHL. Fires a dart at each.

Seems like your comment is piling it on.

 

[Razzdazzle1]

Vanek is usually pretty good trade deadline bait. Might be worth a 1 year contract to see if he can get 20 goals before the deadline.

 

[ijuka]

Yeah looks like Vanek is going to Detroit. Odd choice by them but maybe they have some sort of a plan. IMO Detroit should be looking to sell their older assets that have value. Maybe this is a trade deadline acquisition - trying to cash in when the demand is high and sellers few.

 

[CaptainBenn]

Mtl would be in on him if he played C

 

[JOKER 192]

When was the last time Eklund was right about anything?
