I still find it pretty cool that you're connections allow you to speak 1-on-1 with GMs. Just seems like most GMs are so busy managing billion dollar organizations that they don't make themsleves too available to the media. Most will do periodic press conferences to a large group of accredited media...but you get 1-on-1 calls disclosing what a rival GM said in confidence. Pretty amazing!

They all call Ek for his take on potential moves. If he vetos a move it doesn’t happen. On rare occupancies he has approved a trade but then the league has stepped in to veto the deal.

In fairness, Ek never said it was an NHL GM he spoke to. Could be an OHL or, heck, even a fantasy GM, who also would not be in on the Kane sweeps.

Most likely was talking to his mechanic at the GM dealer.

Yuge game tonight, Arbinators debut who's he going to dummy? Matthews being injury prone better keep his head up heading into his corners and no crying allowed from little Willy or wee Bunting again if Arbs plays them tough this is the NHL not a picnic.
Ek, if you were planning to post the Atlantic today why not do it for continuity sake? You could still tack on a blurb about this hazy rumor at the end.
Last season you started posting a team a day for why they would win the Cup and it was abandoned before you covered 10 teams. Why promise and not follow through?
Everything is so haphazard and chaotic.
You've overheard that they may be conversations about possible teams that may or may not be interested in speaking with available players..... Please tell me more
