Eklund: Rumors: Edm/Az talking MAJOR Swap, Philly, Habs interest in Tlusty, Methot+

Yes.

Flyers looking for D help?

I am also starting to hear the Flyers are looking at acquiring a d-man and have also talked to Phoenix as well as Carolina and Winnipeg (once again regarding Dystin Btfyglien.)

Big Tough Fat Yankee Glam Alien?

Gagner would look good in an Oilers sweater

Yes.

20 year-old former 1st overall pick for Z Michalek? That makes perfect sense.

And cue the Buf Philly Rumors. #HereWeGoAgain

Can Tlusty play on D because that's the area the Habs need the most work on. I don't see how having another mid-level forward would help the Habs. They are loaded with guys like that.

Yakupov- hahaha- he is our best player 4 games into the season... - Hall and Yak are the only 2 giving it their all

EXACTLY what I asked the Montreal source. I am baffled by this.

On top of that why another centerman?? We have too many already.

Hard to underplay how much they want a solid Dman. I hope they don't panic and move yakupov as well.

Yup. Perhaps there is another deal. Or more to this. I couldnt get that confirmed or denied.

I think hes naturally a LW. Not that, that changes the defense issue.

Tinordi and Beaulieu need to play at some point. Can't do that if they always try to bring some vets in instead of them.

At this point. Wouldnt that be a solid return for Yakupov?

Yakupov for Michalek, some prospect and a conditional pick?

No, no that's never happening

No thank you to Fatty Byfuglien. We'll take our chances with the pylons we have now.

lol agreed. If anything Yandle is the target.

Just let us tank for this year. We will be happy to send coby,vinny,grossman to anybody who wants them for bargain basement prices.Well coby will cost you a bit. But ill add l schenn on the sale rack

What would the TOP spec be? Are they looking at a Domi? Domi, Michalek + would def start getting interesting for Yak

You would think it would be OEL for Yak... But I doubt Coyotes would part with the up and coming star D man.

I'd trade Yakupov for sure. The team is terrible and things need to change. How long do you keep the "core" players that aren't performing?

Yakupov doesn't have much trade value right now anyways. He could very well be a good player one day, but if he isn't good here, what's the point?

We're aren't getting any better.
