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...

Yeah this was funny. Basically admitting that usually he would hear some rumour, make a few calls, and others would ridicule these ideas as foolish. But this time, the Oh Henry rumours weren't mocked as bad as expected. So...success!

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.

“More to come”???

But you haven’t said anything as of yet.

So there is “more” nothing to come?

Cool!

But it is not nothing.

Look beyond your preconceived notions of what constitutes actual information. What you have been given is nothing short of thrice-distilled nectar of pure insight with a liberal does of wisdom and grace.

Perhaps you would enjoy a nice Marmaduke comic instead?

Attention, hockey Buzz readers....

At some point in the next 12 months, someone from either the Eastern or Western conference will be traded.

Champagne is too expensive, will a beer and whiskey do? Thanks. Cheers

Ha. I have no horses. I drink both. Friends drink both as well. My dogs don’t like whiskey, 1 likes beer though. I have a pit that doesn’t drink. That’s just strange. My last one would knock my beer over so he could have some

Amazing how they brand a guy who’s never won a damn thing the King. And the pompous ass has the nerve to put a crown on his mask. One of the most arrogant players in NHL history. Nothing more

If they wanted to free up cap space for Maroon. Then they should have never resigned Gunnarsson in June.

I would think Edmunson is on the trading block before Gunny. I don't think the Blues signed Carl at a discount just to trade him before the contract begins. Eddie should have more value anyway and frees up more space to sign Barbashev and Maroon.

Ek was eating an Oh Henry when he was writing this. Innocent mistake.

But why is he so shocked about the Blues and Flames talking about Gunnarsson. Let's look at some facts:

-Gunnarsson is a 6-7-8 on the Blues depth chart
-he makes $1.75M for this year and next
-that's expensive for the role he plays, especially since the Blues would love to free up some cap space to potentially bring back Maroon for cheap
-meanwhile the Flames are actively shopping for a depth d-man after Valimaki tore his ACL

Not that earth-shattering. You really think the Blues are worried about Gunnarsson being the guy that puts the Flames over the top. They'd love to dump him and are exploiting the Flames desperation.

Oh boy. Oh Henry.

I don’t think it’s quite that simple with Gunnarsson. True, I doubt the Blues are worried about him going to a conference opponent, but evidently he’s been instrumental in the development of young defensemen on the team. Guys like Parayko, Dunn, and Edmundson have all credited Gunnarsson as a major contributor to their success. It’s almost like the Blues keep him around as more of a coach than a player.
