[Porter Stoutheart]

Ekholm shouldn't be on this trade board. He's not really available. Not in the traditional sense.

 

[Leafs87]

Awful list of players.
Not saying there is not some good players on, but if you look at it top down, not great.

 

[bukwas]

There are a lot of potentially excellent additions supposedly available.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Ekholm shouldn't be on this trade board. He's not really available. Not in the traditional sense.

I mean Nashville has clearly stated he is not one of the unavailable players so I don't really understand what you mean

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Not too exciting

 

[PredsHabs]

Ekholm shouldn't be on this trade board. He's not really available. Not in the traditional sense.

David is that you?

 

[2Pair]

Half of that list would clear waivers

 

[smokes lets go]

What kind of contract will Savard be looking at on his next deal?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Ekholm shouldn't be on this trade board. He's not really available. Not in the traditional sense.

#1 on the TSN board. #1 on The Athletic board (Link). Custance was even direct about his availability.

It may be time to move on from the not wanting him to be available barring an unrealistic overpayment stance. There's a lot of smoke here.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

It’s odd that there aren’t any Devils on the list.

Palmieri, Gusev, Murray and Kulikov could all be moved.

Oh, I think Ekholm is absolutely available. I don't think Forsberg actually is, but I actually expect Ekholm to be moved.

 

[NK94]

TDA is 3rd on the board despite clearing waivers and sitting at home since. The Rangers would be better off buying him out in the summer instead of taking on a bad contract to get rid of him now.

 

[BLONG7]

The TSN guys are absolutely hilarious!! They get paid to speculate. Not very well either. Guys like Lebrun, Dreger etc are talking to fill the air....they rarely get any of this stuff right, let alone first, so calling them insiders is a big joke.

 

[GuerinUp]

almost comical dumba isnt on this list.

 

[explore]

TSN list is still more realistic than the one the Athletic posted

 

[AslanRH]

 

[deca guard]

im thinking bernier should be on this list as hes been rock solid with a very weak team in front of him for several seasons and has make some excellent saves this season

 

[TK]

If they continue to struggle, I agree. If they somehow scrape into realistic bubble team range, I bet Poile hangs onto him, at least until the offseason. We've all seen Poile spend good assets on mediocre rentals when the team didn't really have a realistic shot to win a cup, I don't think he'll sell a very good player if they have a shot at the postseason.

This times a million!

During the last lockout reporters proved who actually had and didn't have sources. Bob Mackenzie and Freidmen came out looking golden, and Dreger and Lebrun looked like idiots.

I think Dreger has some agents for sources but they clearly use him to push narratives and he never vets anything, just pumps it out mindlessly.

Compare that to the NFL side with Rappaport or Schefter and they at least get 2 sources for everything, and if they put something out it's pretty much true.

Palmieri, Gusev, Murray and Kulikov could all be moved.

Not that it would happen, but it would be hilarious if Vegas rented Gusev back and won the cup with him.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Three Wings that will get traded.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Of course TSN's article is all spaghetti against the wall, but I do think this is going to be one of the lowest quality trade deadlines, given the flat cap combined with impending expansion draft.

 

[SEALBound]

Ekholm shouldn't be on this trade board. He's not really available. Not in the traditional sense.

What about in the "non-traditional" sense? Is he available then?

 

[MCB]

It’s odd that there aren’t any Devils on the list.

I was thinking the same for the Ducks, although if we are trading for picks I'd rather get 2022 picks.
