I'm not going to defend the guy but when it comes to rumors, it's all a low success rate. I wouldn't be surprised if the Isles inquired about Krug. These rumors make sense, Isles inquiring about d-men on teams with cap trouble, probably aiming higher and the other teams coming back with guys like McQuaid. Eklund's problem is that his value is entirely dependent on keeping the rumor mill going, and so he has to report EVERY rumor he hears. The other insiders can talk hockey whenever the rumor mill is quieting down, Eklund can't.
We really need another defenseman

Isles will have to sign the senior John Tavares before trading him. Isn't 46 yrs old a little long in the tooth for a player?

My complaint with Eklund is not that he throws everything against the wall, waiting to see what sticks, but that I think he makes up crap.
After the NY press reported the isles had 16 forwards signed and wanted to move a couple, Eklund reported they were trying to sign Devin Setoguchi .

I hope Snow is contacting every team in the league, continuing to try and land a solid, top 4 defenseman.
I just have little faith in the rumors Eklund throws out.
