Is that what people who pay for the rumor chart get for their money? 'This player was born in this city so I think he wants to go back.' Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Ek's latest theory is that Seattle is going to poach a bunch of UFAs in the expansion draft. So if Colorado delays Landeskog's extension until after that expansion draft, well then Seattle will use that exclusive negotiating window and sign him. Today he has Jaden Schwartz with a 25% chance of going to Seattle. Your Oilers are at 0%, even though there has been plenty of speculation of the Oilers targeting him as a UFA.
For those curious, Vegas also had the chance to "select" UFAs. They picked 1 out of 30. Daryk England, who lived in Vegas and made for a nice story. But watch for Seattle to load up Landeskog, Schwartz, Grubauer, Ovechkin. They will be awesome!!
