Eklund: With Two Weeks to Play, 22 Players Updated on the Rumor Chart.

Polak to the Stars is an E4

NO NO NO NO NO

1)Islanders are not trading hamonic before the draft

2) not trading hamonic for a damn who wants 6+ mill

3) not for a rfa whos agent has guys hold out ( islanders have a policy if your not signed by training camp you dont play the whole season)

Eklund: With Two Weeks to Play, 22 Players Updated on the Rumor Chart.
- Eklund

Why would the Jets want to trade for another RHD that will be behind Byfuglien and Myers on the depth chart? I would think IF they move Trouba it would be for a player at a position of need instead of excess. Isn't that a big reason Trouba is available in the first place?

Art Staple disagrees:

Islanders trading Travis Hamonic by the deadline looks unlikely http://nwsdy.li/1SoKFpE

Hamonic asked for a trade to winnipeg area due to family reasons so both teams are trying to accomodate him

Also hamonic is a RHD who has a salary cap of under 4 mill for the next few years and.

Also jets dont want to pay trouba 6-6.5 mill after just paying buff 7:5

If Polak goes to Dallas? What's coming back ? How about Polak and Bozak for Nish and a 2016 1st ?

Hey, hey, hey. Don't go bringing your logic and critical thinking skills to this roomer chart. There's a 100% chance that there is at least a 20% chance this trade has maybe been thought about being possibly discussed on both sides. E7. Plus, Wayne Simmonds Allstar replacement....

I know that. But that doesn't mean the Jets should trade Trouba, a capable top 4 dman stuck behind players in the depth chart for Hamonic, a capable top 4 dman that will also be stuck behind players in the depth chart. They should trade him for a player of need.

Hey Ek, anything on JVR to the Hawks ?

NO NO NO NO NO

Third line centers don't get you blue chip prospects, and third pairing defensemen don't get you first round draft picks.

Calm down.

(Very calmly)

Sorry, i went on a rant an hour ago in the last EK blog comment section. Im still in a bad mood

Its just annoying that he continues to pull these "rumors" out of mid air. When anyone who follows the islanders knows that its the complete opposite.

I only come to this website for the team bloggers to read there reactions to there teams. Also to talk hockey in the comment section.

But reading the hamonic thing and his "flyers trade chips" just kind of pissed me off

HUMILIATION!

BUFFLAND TO THE FLIERS E7.....amirite?

I'm still trying to figure how you don't think the Habs are selling anything at all... crazy.
