They need his expert opinion before they make any trades. What is so hard to believe about that?

It was actually kinda wild to see how nonchalantly he said it, like that's something perfectly normal to happen.

The rebound on Nick Paul's first goal was (frank)ing terrible and was on Jack.

Still, the leafs were built to be a powerhouse offensively. They didn’t get it done.

When the opposition only scores 2 goals a team built the way the leafs are need to be able to score 3.

Rielly had the leafs goal, so $40 million dollars worth of forward got nothing more than a couple assists on a single goal. It’s on them.

Some of those teams make sense, my point was it's 100% click-bait to tie him to the Leafs just to get people talking. I guess it's working!

Its a click bait site.
Ek has even said in the past that he post any and every rumour he heres from his peeps.
Its what this site is intended for

Talk about helping the Oilers out

So they can afford Kerfoot

Carolina usually makes decent moves, but helping the Oilers out like that makes no sense at all.

Ive maintained for a while that if he just spent more time building the site out for what people actually use it for, it would be much better off.

Does anyone actually come to look at the fake rumors?

They don’t need to move both. I’d be very surprised if they move Holl
- Canada Cup

Ya, don't see it.

I assume he'll be partnered with McCabe tomorrow.

Curious to see if they try mcCabe with Rielly and Brodie with Holl. Brodie/Holl were really good together during that Nov/Dec stretch. Gio and Lilly always good together too.

Even if they wanted to take a chance, they should have probably recieved a pick from Edmonton. Seems like a dumb move.

The only thing Ek gets any credit for is booting Tanner off the site. He put Tanner on the staff to start with, so I guess it's a wash.

Judging by the comments on Ek's blogs vs the team blogs, I'd say no.

A forward on an offensively built team by the current GM didn’t score in a game 7

That’s why they lost, not because they gave up 2 goals.

Isn't the site already that way?

Ek's column isn't the reason anyone comes here. If you're bored, you read it and then take a few pot shots at Ek, for which he quietly chuckles because you took the bait.

The vast majority of page views would be the team-focused bloggers, and the comments generated from those blogs.

And let's not forget the Official Leafs Prediction Thread, which generates about 12% of all page views for the site (this stat has a 12% margin of error).

I'd like to see

Rielly/McCabe
Brodie/Liljegren
Gio/Holl

Or

Rielly/Liljegren
McCabe/Brodie
Gio/Holl

Mostly want to see if McCabe is capable of stabilizing Rielly like Liljegren does.

I think that was the idea at one point. But information and rumours are so universally available that the business model doesn’t make sense. It’s a “hang out to discuss stuff we’ve heard elsewhere” site. I guess pretending to bring rumours is just habit.

TBs stars did not score either

a 1.5M forward did instead

Call me whatever you wish, you can be very stubborn on here

Keep in mind I know nothing about McCabe, but based upon my vast experience with EA NHL '93 and '94, McCabe and Rielly sounds like a good combo.

McCabe can stay at home and cover up when Rielly is caught behind the opposition's net.

Yes, so no name prospect for him. No salary retained.
