"On Jagr....

Go west old man....the Red Wings, Hawks, and Canucks are all interested. The Wings have gone back and forth and I am told there are two clear factions in Detroit. One who still feels deceived by Jagr prior to his signing in Philly...but another who sees him as a needed boost."

Did Detroit go back to the West? How come no one told me!




Does Ek even watch hockey?

Maybe he meant Geographically....
But probably meant Conference! LOL

Eklunds right, Shea Weber is staying in Nashville for the foreseeable future. He means too much to the franchise in terms of skill, ticket sales, and season ticket holders. If Poile deals Weber the franchise would vent support and in two years the Seattle Predators take to the ice. The only way Weber goes is if the return is good enough to impress and ensnare the notoriously dumb Nashville Predators fan base (I can say this, I am a die hard Preds fan). I'm talking Malkin-Weber, Giroux-Weber, or (stick tap to you) Eberle+Hall-Weber...MAYBE....

the asking price is too high for any team to match
- apekspredator

I don't see any team giving up a 1-for-1 trade for Weber, not that those aren't close to fair value for Weber is THE best defender in the game, but would Giroux really make the Preds much better or would Weber make the Flyers much better? They'd both be trading to trade. But I could see a team with insane depth giving up a plethora of assets:

2 1st, 2 young proven top 6 forwards with upside, and a young proven top 4 defender with upside.

only thing is, who has that available?

hey EK i need myself some kings rumors are we getting moulson or vanek. are we trading justin williams i want answers pleaseeeeeee. sound desperate enough for you lol

where is all the huge Paul Ranger trade rumours??
im sure somebody wants him..

If there's anything Ek seems to be a guarantee at is predicting the Pens to go after someone in to fill positions that they don't need filled. Like D or Goal. They already have 3 goalies on the roster with Vokoun back and Zatkoff needing to clear waivers to get sent down. And they're getting really tight on the cap due to all the call-ups and Vokoun coming of LTIR, so the solution is to pick up a relatively high-priced 4th guy to fill a spot that you only need 2 of on the roster?

Makes ALL kinds of sense.

Ek, I saw you mentioned that Nashville will never, ever trade Weber. While you may be right, I had dinner tonight with a friend who has some connections to Nashville. He told me that the owners feel they made a but of a mistake by matching with their own personal cash to do it. He said they stockpiled D men and were considering a deal involving Braydon Schenn and Sam Morin. He didn't have all the details and again, he could be wrong, but since he has close ties to the organization, I at least gave it some credibility. The rest of the HB community can now have their field day w the info.
