lmao Wild paid more for renting Hanzal than flames paid for Dougie Hamilton
- S Kaspar Rollins


Well not really, your first was like 15th overall wasn't it? This 1st will be much lower but still really hard to believe this was the cost for Hanzal.

true, Minnesota's will likely be in the 20s at least but still.

also worth noting that hanzal, unlike hamilton is a rental

Who knows they might resign him to justify the cost. Its only a true rental until he hits UFA

well it came down to Nashville and Minnesota and it looks like Minnesota got him (according to McKenzie and TSN) This is interesting because the Canadiens were NOT in on Hanzal and yet I know they are going to upgrade on offense...Might mean Duchene trade looking better...working on that now..
- Eklund



Ek I watched your FB video on the Flyers. You mention Flyer trade chips. I think putting Simmonds out there could be the way to kick start this rebuild to get blue chip young forward talent in here. Simmonds could net them so much with the cheap deal that he's on, the bidding war would be insane. Plus organizationally they are deep at RW especially if you move Schenn there where he's most comfortable.

Lindblom is going to come in next year and he is fantastic in and around the net. He's not talked about enough.

Simmonds is the key as much as it pains me

A source tells me the fact the Canadiens were NOT players for Hanzal means they believe they have a legit shot at a better forward....

Wild have one of the weaker prospect pools in the league. Already dont have their 2nd round this year. Now giving up a 2017 1st and a 2018 2nd and potentially a 2019 2nd?
- DDM-Coga


Wild prospects absolutely killed it at Worlds. Kunin, Greenway, Eriksson-Ek and Kaprisov? They are fine

From what I've been told, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Minnesota picking up Evander Kane between now and Wed. #NHLTrade


Kane Train baby!

"Love the Ryan White part of this deal not sold on Martin Hanzal"

actual quote from the Wild blogger on this site. the trade deadline is a weird time

You got those right on Ek

And now your sources are telling you the Habs were NOT players in Hanz. Yet all along you kept saying you heard they were. Wow

nothing at all. Streit is by far the player they are getting the most calls on.
- Eklund

I hope he gets traded to Buffalo, who convert him to checking centre.

It would be so awesome to see Garth write the headline "Two-way Streit"
