Just went through all the cap space for each team and I just don't see this as very likely, considering Hank gets to chose where he goes! Columbus would be great for us but no way Hank will deal with Torts! Ducks are out they signed Gibson through 2017. Arizona, Boston, Buffalo, Carolina, Chicago, Dallas, Edmonton, Nashville, Vegas, Capitals and Winnapeg out no cap space, Colorado possible but Sakic is a Richard to deal with. Calgary has to sign Tkachuk and Mangiapane. Detroit possible but not likely. Florida just signed Bob. LA possible however Quick signed through 2023. Minnesota possible Dubnyk only signed through 2021 and they have cap space. NJ, Islanders, Pitt and Philly I DON'T THINK SO!!! San Jose signed Jones through 2024. Blues LOL nope. Vancouver still has two RFA to sign, however Markstrom only has one year left on a 3.666.667 Cap hit with 5M left to use.

While making your calls on the Laine trade and now the Oh Henry trade...can you ask around about the McAvoy bridge deal. You said it was imminent so something has changed. Maybe bad blood is brewing? Maybe Proorov is involved?

I’m guessing Hoffman to Edmonton is holding up Mcavoy re-upping with the Bruins.

why would the rangers stick with lundqvist? his last 3 seasons in the nhl have not been great and he's 37 years old.

Or are you meeting a source at the airport after because it was so top secret it couldn’t be said in text message?

Ek uses a series of dead drop methods for the really important stuff.

I don't believe "Eklund" has heard anything, but I would like to see Hank traded to a real contender. He's too old to wait around for the Rangers at this point, and I think he deserves to lift the Cup. He'd be great for Tampa Bay.

Moving Lundqvist and getting assets while he still has value is a no brainer for NY.
Clearing Cap space and signing Kreider would be a big win.

At 37 there is not much more great hockey left for any goalie and the Blueskirts have quality goaltending options without him.

Personally, I hope Queenie sits tight, eats their cap and becomes a piece of Jarlsberg.

That's a pretty expensive backup, especially if he's marginally better then Mac.

Probably the only contending team that he's the perfect fit would be the Flames. Teams maybe trying to get in such the Hawks/Canucks could also use him.

He's not going anywhere. He has a full-NMC.

If NYR signs Andy Moog to a PTO it might scare Oh Henry into waiving his NMC.

More to come...well...until tomorrow when I introduce another random topic without ever circling back on the promise of more to come.

We have heard these kinds of rumors before, but usually I would check into them and be shot down...not this time, and I expected I would be... So we will keep an eye on this...

Oh the dramatic twists these things take. The life Reklund must lead, it is amazing he has the stamina to go through all of that doubt... also a lot of self doubt.
We owe him so much to keep looking into these things.
Then tomorrow something breaks and it wasn’t anything he foreshadowed. But how can you see everything...

The truth is made up of levels within levels and each level is fraught with conjecture and nuance. Eklund is our navigator in this dark and frightening world.
