You think that's bad? Malkin STILL wants to be THE MAN for the Blackhawks! Ek saved the Preds but couldn't make the Caps trade them Ovechkin! Young David Poile is still running around the Spectrum in 1966 for crying out loud!

Lol far out man !!

We should come up with a Top Ten list off all the trades that didn’t happen that Ek said were an E4 or that were certain.

The Keith/Kane and Malkin have to be on that list for sure.

Ready and go....

9. Buzztron has the Flyers in the playoffs over Carolina...despite the Flyers already mathematically eliminated days earlier. E4.

Eklund's description of Hoffman is unbelievable, does this guy even watch hockey??

He has played for two teams in 10 years?
- Mahewman

He has only ever played for Mike Hoffman not a very good team player at all. Which ever team signs him will find that out fairly quickly. There is a reason florida isn't re signing him.

8. Ryan Smyth re-signs with Oilers E5

Bergevin is desperate to keep his job.

Hoffman is NOT what they need...the team really needs scorched earth.

As a Flyers diehard it’s great to share a league with aimless organizations who have no clue how to build a winner.

Hopefully molson will give bergevin a 5 year extension.

While the Flyers built a legacy...when is their last Cup already? One Flyers diehard fan, two cups 🙂

Seriously, still no decision on Gaudreau? Did you spend all weekend working on the Buzztron again?

Also, Hoffman is 6'0, 182 pounds. That isn't big. It's well below average size. He's a very consistent goal scorer but calling him big and comparing him to Leclair.

by Montreal standards it's actually pretty big

Because they won't have the cap space for him, and his age will make them leery of a long term deal. Or maybe because they have a kid coming up that they think can take his place. Haven't heard a peep about any problems w/Hoffman in FL.

Didn't Panthers ownership tell Tallon to chop $10 million off the payroll?

7. I'm hearing directly from sources that several teams are looking at Jesse Puljijarvi as a potential 2C. He needs a change of scenery, but young centers like him rarely become available. E4...too bad Puljijarvi is a winger, has played every second in the NHL as a winger. Yet your trusted sources thought he was a center? Or did Ek just rely on NHL.com that listed him as a center.

6. Mitch Marner has a hard August 1st deadline to sign a contract. The Leafs aren't screwing around. The Islanders are preparing to sign Marner to an offer sheet. E4

I understand that he has his issues but he really hasn't had any leadership around him either. He was also a very big reason that Ottawa made a run a few years back.

I do not think Montreal is a good fit but if he were on a contender with set leadership he could be very dangerous.

5. There could be upwards of 5 or 6 RFAs who hold out and miss the start of the season. Its looking like armaggeddon according to sources. E5.

Every single RFA then signs without anyone missing a single game. Like most summers.

RFA Wars! Offer sheet Armageddon!

4. Panarin and Bobrovsky are a package deal. It's looking like they'll both be signing with Florida. Highly imminent according to a high ranking league executive...E4

3. Sources are saying Marner will sign a killer offer sheet of 1-year $13M. Likely coming from within the division. E4

This would be classic Habs. Love it,

2. The Lightning are also up against a Cap crunch and could turn Point into some serious future prospects that they won't have to pay for years to come....So basically there is one hell of a player possibly available here....I have always felt Point's upside is close to Patrice Bergeron.

I'm going to give the #1 story to you. There are just so many to draw from.

Just a roomer. First "reported" by a Toronto media member a couple of days before FL played TML, where a FL victory would've pulled them even in points, but ahead due to the head to head matchup tie breaker. I don't think they committed big money to Q and silly money to Bob to just pull back after one season.

Well mine is obvious!

1. Malkin is being traded to Chicago because he wants to be The Man! E4
