He's still terrible at playing d though.. You can't really get around that. I hate how the league only acknowledges offensive d's nowadays. Karlsson with a Norris and letang getting a nomination. Might as well give Justin Schultz the award in a few years
- selanne4pres

This fallacy has become fact somehow. Much like karlsson bein a terrible defender.

They're both certainly offence first, but not inept in their own zone either. Letang plays tons of pk and starts in his own zone, as well as logs big minutes.

It's really quite comical. I'd love to see a list of all Eklund's predictions. Really goes to show that he does not actually have any sources.

it's literally unreal.

like whenever there's an announcement or something coming and everyone has a general idea what the subject is going to be on, he ALWAYS picks the wrong one. whether it's a coach being fired or staying, whether a player is being traded or not, whether a GM is being fired or staying, etc.

he legit always picks the wrong one.

That musta been before my time here. Which means it was when Ovi was dominating. Poor, poor Eklund.

I'm just baffled at how his tweet today said, "I am being led to believe it's not a coaching change in Edmonton..."

Being led to believe by who? If it's a "source" then it's clearly somebody who has NO ties whatsoever to the Oilers. Even Oiler fans were saying it's probably a coaching change. It's all just embarrassing.

I could see these being available (obviously not all)

Okposo, bailey , Ulstrom, Kabanov, Sundstrom, Persson, Polka, Pelech

A lot of quality prospects

I take every rumor on here with a grain of salt. I'm not sure I've ever seen one correct rumor on here before.

But, if Phoenix really wants Vanek I want Boedker packaged in with he deal. Miller isn't going to fetch much, a fair deal, but no kings ransom like Darcy manages to pull off. Or, will he trade defile another team?

I disagree about miller, us buffalonians have moved on from Miller. His rep around the league is that hes an elite goalie. Miller will bring in a first rounder and a top prospect.

The Flyers goaltending is fine...Get rid of Bryz and let S.Mason carry the load...
- Flyfreaky


Mason has been good in his time in Philly, but there is a reason Columbus was glad to see the back of him. 3 years of growing pains will do that. I would not make him our starter unless we had no other choice. I like him but we need to NOT rush him.

The only way I would buyout bryz is if the (very real) possibility of grabbing a top goalie in the very wide open Buyers goalie market and signing them for less than Bryz or at the very least to a shorter contract. If we were to say sign say Backstrom that'd be nice.

- selanne4pres

You're probably dumb or never watched Letang play. He definitely can play D. You know nothing about hockey.

Really? Because the guy played plenty of PK, in a PILE of ice time, had VERY few goals scored against while he was on the ice. Second on the Pens in blocked shots. I've watched him play plenty, and he's actually pretty decent defensively, as far as I'm concerned.
- Dirte

Exactly. The knock on him is that he tries to do too much sometimes. Keep it simple. He's a VERY good d-man.

Maybe Ek should try to do the opposite of what he thinks??? Worked for George.
