You are the scum of hockey. Pierre LeBrun reported this. Find a hobby and stop ripping off REAL journalist hard work.

Love all the people that whine about someone not being the source of a move but yet they keep on visiting his site. Either shut up or move along and deal with it

100% agree. Who cares where the rumor/info comes from. It's fun reading.

In hockey related news, good depth pick up for the jackets? Allows Boone Jenner to play wing and burn up defenders lol

Yes I dont think most people knowhow hard Eklund works and really what an E4 takes. E4 means more than 2 sources connected to the player or team is relaying this information. Sources are also finite and reporters have lightning speed compared to Eklund who make sure its safe to post something. Reporting rumours is delicate work. But really fun to be on this side of it.

Also yes a good fit fir Mikko. Unexpected but good. Not much media attention but a die hard young fan base. Will even out lines for sure on the ice.

Really ???!!!
What is Jarmo's plan for this draft/FA period ?? Waste of money & roster space. I don't get it.
We don't need depth players - we have them out the wazoo - we need a needle-moving forward. He was a really solid player years ago, but at this point what's left in the tank ??

I'm really confused/frustrated with this draft & FA machinations coming from Jarmo.

R-E-L-A-X. It’s not even the end of day #2. All the big fish are taking their time with no courting period like there’d the last few years. This is Wennberg at 1/4 the cost for one year. Also it lets Boone move back to wing. Plenty of time to still get Hall, Hoffman, Dadanov, or Granlund. Also still possibly a trade or two.

I get that. Hall would fit the "needle mover" criteria - but none of the others would. I'm hoping Jarmo has a couple of trades to pull. Except that he's given away almost all the ammo. Really can't trade more D-men - given up Murray and Nutivarra for peanuts. About all that's left is one of the goalies, picks & prospects.
You can't get something for nothing.
