But but Miller needs the Ducks

That's true. Maybe it might be a motivating factor...

Not breaking news this was all over the internet way before this was posted. EK's "source" must be Darren Dreger.

Hey Ek,
If Nash is done for the year, can the NYR put him on LTIR and recoup any salary to sign another player if they are against the cap?

Eklund: Eyes on the Oilers.
- Eklund


*Another source, " coach Eakins is looking for players willing to buy in 100%. and they may not be in the Oilers possession yet."

So you're telling us that Eakins is in fact NOT looking for players that will NOT buy in 100%?! You just can't get this type of inside information anywhere else. Most other insiders are reporting that Eakins only wants players who won't buy in at all. Thanks for the insight, Ek!

Look at millers stats then look at the team he plays on.... His save % is .915 on the worst team in the NHL

but Anderson is a beauty

just Eking this out there... Mason/Giroux for Yaks and ?.

A swap of under performing snipers with loads of potential... EDM gets their goalie... and Philly gets ? (maybe a 2nd and 3rd round pick or pick and prospect).

Sorry, don't really follow either team. Like I said, just being Ek for 5 minutes.

I hope not, Giroux isn't the kind of player we need, and he's having a terrible season...for some reason I picked him first in my hockey draft even though I'm not a fan of his, or the Flyers...shoulda went with my instincts.

I'd imagine, if they even traded Yakupov, they would go for legit defensemen or bigger forwards
