Eklund: Kessel and Marleau Speculation....Chara Broken Jaw...Grzelcyk back?

(frank) the Bruins

Why the hell would Vancouver want a 40 year old at the end of his career? Dumb.

Grzelak. Not even remotely close to the correct spelling. Is it that hard to take a couple of extra seconds to check for spelling before you hit submit?

In 2019, how does a hockey writer screw up a player's name in the Stanley Cup Final. It's Grzelcyk.

So much interest in Marleau. Dubas should have no problem trading him.

It's Ek. Just be thankful he spelled Chara correctly.

Like anyone else considering trading for Marleau, they would only do so if they were getting back a worthwhile asset from the Leafs for assuming his cap hit. I don't think anyone could make a "hockey trade" out of this.

I did hear someone mention Marleau + for Tanev, but no idea what the + would have to be and that assumes Vancouver wants out from Tanev?

I bet there is some interest... as long as the Leafs are retaining 50% AND shipping Kapanen with him for a 7th round pick in return

It's Ek. Just be thankful he spelled Chara correctly.

He is the click king. That little move has now generated four comments.

With such finesse, the trolls his way all the way to the bank.

I don't see any shot that Chara isn't playing these games.

I don't disagree with you. However, his name does have too many letters that don't belong together.

"Yes that's an S, a K, and a J all next to each other, so that's a no."

Trolling is the one thing Ek excels at. I'll give him credit for that.

Only in the Finals is the availability of Grzelak newsworthy.

Skjimple enough !

Please spell Mxyzptlk's name right the next time

You guys think a zaitsev + Marleau for Subban trade will work?

Salary almost match and press needs to sign josi

Fine by most Blues fans. Will be Karlsson type situation and likely hurt them more than he helps. Guessing they play 7 D as well just to hedge.

It definitely works for me.

The only possible thing I could imagine is that he dresses for a game that the Bruins could win the Cup in, but that he doesn't see more than a couple of shifts.

It's a broken jaw. It's a nasty series. He can't play effectively.

It definitely works for me.

Hahaha wishful thinking

It definitely works for me.

The salary almost works, so what could possibly be wrong!?

Just stop.

Marleau and/or Zaitsev aren’t being moved until theIr bonuses are paid on July 1. At that point both players will have approx. remaining $1.5M for this season.

Tomorrow's blog will be speculation on how the Pens are considering moving Sidney Crawsby to the Leefs or Flames.
