Not at all. For one, Eklund was away on vacation and advised his followers his phone would essentially be off. Secondly, any "reporting" of the Leafs being interested was mere speculation, and has been followed up by a few sources to have been legitimate discussions, Ek being one of them.

I write for Eklunds website, and if I hear discussions regarding the Flames, I will write about how I feel about it. Regardless of what I, or other bloggers write, there may be plenty of discussions going on between teams, and we visit this site to debate them. Just because two teams are talking, dosnt mean something is about to happen.

No need to argue back and forth about credibility etc, the information is posted by Ek, if you choose to believe it or not thats up to you.

You know the Leafs have no interest in Kipper, right?

a cancer?

I doubt that. Phaneuf's cancer stories have way more legs then a regher one (never heard that before).

I think for regher it was an attempt at making things younger.
- numbear

I don't want to sound like "that guy", but I know a few Flames Alumni and Regehr was not well liked in the room, was an a$$ to the young players and was toxic.

Intereting news....

Thought kicking around the FGSB office this morning: Thomas Hickey from the Kings system. More first round unfulfilled D-man potential.

1 Goal 4 Assists -12 4 million dollars

Thats all that has to be said about RR. He will be bought out or in the AHL soon and people will still blame Feaster

I don't disagree that regher was on his final legs, thats why I don't consider it that bad of a move by Feaster.

That's what I thought the move was about rather then him being a cancer to younger players.

We had younger players when regher was in calgary?

1. Leafs in need of a goalie. Check.
2. Kiprusoff is a goalie. Check.
3. Insert rumour.
- JSC

Check.


Wy have they not signed Bernier?

Seeing as the Leafs were after Broudeur pretty hard, it makes sense for the leafs to get an experienced goalie to help the young team.
- Mystery

Brodeur was a one year deal and cost the team nothing, if he signed!

everyone who follows Ek on twitter needs to unfollow him ASAP. He blocks anyone who disagrees with him. What a freaking crybaby

I asked the same thing...thing is we are talking feaster here and well...
- Eklund

Well done Ek........real classy/professional.

It's a non starter, making that deal. It's on the same level as Luongo. Fading veteran with a large cap hit, with time on the contract.

Leafs are one of the youngest teams in the league, so why would they need a player that will only get worse, over the next 3 years? By then, the Leafs may be in a position to do something in the playoffs. Save the draft position, play the kids, recover your capspace and make your move, in free agency, next year.

Oh, one other thing. Flyers need D? Komisarek for a 5th rounder sounds about right.
- PrinceLH

I wasn't implying that I think we should be chasing Kipper....just commenting on the victories the Leafs seem to enjoy when they deal with Calgary.

Possibly, but got nothing in return for Regehr...who at the time of the trade was a solid d-man.
- BoBBeR56

Well he dumped 3.0 million of KotaRichards contract & unless you are signing the cheque, that's significant for a new GM to show his employers. He also got Byron(meh) & Butler back who was resigned for 2 years at 1.3mill per & played 20+ minutes & top 4 d because of all our injuries & his numbers were better than RR. That aint too bad, isn't it??

Please tell you are drunk?
- Fakepartofme

how bout a cheeseburger Bobandy............

When does the article come out blaming sid for this boo boo?

did you see Regehr play this year? 1 goal 4 assists -12 for 4 million dollars signed 3 more years. People love to hate on the flames

you don't have a clue about the first pick other than him not being ranked as high by people who can't get jobs in the NHL.

For the record Michel Goulet was really the man behind the Flames #1 pick this year and he knows a thing or two about hockey
- flashfire

Yah, Regehr had a terrible season...
What about the guys you got for Regehr?
What do you know about him? If multiple scouts and insiders etc. all had him ranked in the 40's-50's as a draft spot, what do Flames scouts know that the rest of people don't?

3 teams have confirmed they would have taken him in the first round...Calgary and 2 others. Michel Goulet has over 1000 nhl points and probably knows a thing or two about hockey

So you are telling me you expect something from the Flyers in the next 24 hours to react to surgery?

The Flyers knew for over a week that Mez tore his Achilles. They are weighing options. If they were going to react quickly it would have been when he tore the Achilles.

I expect them to do something, but obviously they don't want to overreact to this injury.

Isles to trade lubo to Philly for a 2nd and 3 rd round pick

but they need a defenseman

why would they, don't even know if there will be a season

Does Philly know that Jeff Finger is still unsigned?

Ek... What kind of title is that??? Of course it changed the Flyers!

We just went from a 4th placed team to a 5th-6th placed team.

Yes and Yes

really? 4th to 5th or 6th...who's gonna stand between Bryz and the opposing teams top line?

- flashfire

Which 2 teams besides Calgary?
So 27 teams scouts were wrong, along with several legit hockey insiders...but Michel Goulet knows more than scouts/insiders who have been doing what they are doing for years...
And Gretzky was the best player to ever play the game, yet wasn't that good of a coach...the fact that Goulet got 1000 points in his career has no baring on his scouting abilities...
