Eklund: Florida/Pittsburgh Deal? Stamkos, Virtanen, Byfuglien>Habs?, Buzz@1

FIRST!!!! 🤪

So whats the plan here, play with 9d and 9 forward ?

Heard a D coming the other way from BOS for JV?

What if Stammer is actually done?

If it was the Big Buff of years ago, then maybe. Big Buff of the last few years? No thanks.

I'm told they will sign Buff and trade Weber. Buff and Chiarot as top pair. Then, they will trade Petry to Edmonotone for picks. Romanov/Fleury 2nd pair. Then they will trade Kulak and promote Wellette to have him play with Mete. Edmunson, finally, will pair with Alzner at Laval. Geoff needs money

DeBrusk's name out there a lot. Could be JV for DeBrusk...

Buff is only interested in the Rangers or Leafs.

I have learned that rutherford is mean and shallow. if he feels he is being criticized, he doubles down. i.e. has anyone professed their love stronger than how rutherford gushes over jack johnson? he will take calls on letang but not JJ? threw oleksiak away because he didnt win a fight against tom wilson? didnt like ian cole because he was 'chirpy"? didnt know that once you trade a player you dont value that you cant get him back if you retain salary? (hags)

And he says terrible things he doesn't have to: about rust,about sheary, about schultz. Just mean spirited and not necessary. He said he would not renew his contract. That was 3 contracts ago. BUT i do blame this on Burkle and Mario. They could end this experiment at any time.

That is all

If a GM wants to make a deal just to show his doubters they might be wrong, that's a very bad GM..

Done for these playoffs for sure.

Can Big Buff play in double headers? Double cheeseburgers?

Sorry, but the way Rutherford is, the more people are doubting his deal, the more he will want it to happen to prove everyone wrong...

One of the most accurate statements EK has ever done

You'll be seeing him at Dunn's between games. Maybe during games a well.

Remember Chara with the Coke during the game? Meet Buff with a Pepsi, poutine, and a May West on the bench.

Phil Kessel can come too. Hot Desert dogs and coke. Breakfast of Stanley Cup champions.

If Buff is in good shape, healthy and motivated to play every team would love to have him. He walked away from a $7.5 mil contract so I can't see him signing for $1 mil. Also he would want to play in a city where he would be close to great fishing and the outdoors.

Buff to the Wild then?

Buff is only interested in whipping around on his speedboat fishing on Lake Minnetonka! He's done with hockey!

Two very strong GM's trying to get this deal done.

What?

Rutherford has made some incredibly stupid moves, and these are happening far more frequently. He's a busy GM. But most wouldn't call him strong.

Florida's GM has been in this role for like 10 days now. Ek probably thinks Dale Tallon is still there.

Sigh.

Eklund,
Buff is done, he is not coming back, move on. He has!!!

DeBrusk's name out there a lot. Could be JV for DeBrusk...

Common!! Vancouver can not sign JV to a minimum deal but somehow will get the better player who needs a bigger contract and fit that in.
