On Girardi...

In a similar, but less crazy way, I still question if the Rangers are really willing to trade Girardi and a source today texted me that the Bruins made "quite a gesture leading me to believe the Rangers are either close to re-signing Girardi, close to dealing him elsewhere, or not interested in moving him at all.

Wow, great insight.

Sources tell me the Flyers will either win their next game in regulation, lose it in regulation, win it in OT, lose it in OT, win in shootouts or lose in shootouts.

E5

I'm pretty sure as of yesterday he's hurt.

I don't think Tampa's management will be too upset when they don't win the East

My god.

A source tells me Yzerman might take Giroux if Stamkos can''t go. Of course they might not take him in favor of somebody else or they will just pass over him all together.

He'll just sign elsewhere.

I doubt anybody gives him 5 million but if they want to I could care less

Hemsky is going to Detroit, book it
- TomKlassen

As long as its not Pittsburgh ... the place Ek has had him going the previous three trade deadlines.

My god.

Don't you dare laugh. It was quite the gesture

They won't give him that much. He'll just take less to play elsewhere.

I'm sure he'll take a discount to stay in Edmonton considering how well things have gone for the past 7 years.

This is really bad...I mean realy really bad! Tough to defend you on this one Ek, this is down right awful!!!

Concerning Callahan.....the guys who are actually in the know, namely Dreger, McKenzie and co. are talking about St. Louis and here you are Ek talking about SJ????

I think I know who I'm likely to believe

You mean like the discounts Phaneuf and Kessel took to stay in toronto? And ps the maple leafs and oilers have made the playoffs the same amount of times in the last 8 years.

More like the discount Clarkson took when he signed there. Carry on.

Why edm fans think hemsky would want to stay in edm to be a bottom six forward puzzles me. He has to look up at yak and Ebs. If I was hemsky, I'd bail.

In other words, hemsky to wings or hawks is good. I want to see him move on and get chance to play for a contender.

hes got more speed and skill than anyone on the entire flames roster. id love to see a hemsky+ for Hjalmerson (sp?).. If he goes to detroit id like to see dekeyser come back just because it would be funny.

Personally I don't want hemsky at all, but especially for Dekeyser. You can have quincey?

Of course he's going to bail, unless he's severely overpaid. That's why you take what you can get for him.

Yes because we were talking about players resigning in the city they're currently playing in and that's the exact same thing. And how is that Clarkson discount treating you?

I actually don't mind the Clarkson discount one bit. I wish Kessel would slow down though. Phaneuf was gonna get that on the open market.

He likes to do the opposite always

"...leading me to believe the Rangers are either close to re-signing Girardi, close to dealing him elsewhere, or not interested in moving him at all."

wow youre such an insider, this really narrows things down.

He wouldve got that on the open market but he definitely didn't take a discount to stay there
