No shyt! At least come up with a realistic rumor. that was a (frank)ing joke. Remember when he stole the frolov to montreal rumor that a certain person made up in his thread? hours after brooksie reported he was out for the year with a major knee injury. ek is a jackas$

I guess like we've all said before he's concerned more about hits than credibility.

Nash for Halak straight up would be a better deal.

Agree

Oilers countered LA's offer with Horcoff, Hemsky, Dubnyk and 2013 first round. Oilers also added the incentive to re-hire Howson as assistant GM when he is fired by CBJ. Heard Edmonton is the early favorite on Nash. When I asked my source if he's sure by rolling me a red ball for yes and blue ball for no, Eklund's dog rolled the red one to me.

I'm only going to it once...what in the world is that rumor guy smoking? If you're going to make it up, at least make it plausible.

exactly!
@jessespector
Rick Nash to Montreal for Scott Gomez a kickass poutine recipe, Youppi! and Rosetta Stone for French. (e4)

Maybe it's for Carter since Aaron Portzline said on TSN1050 that Blue Jackets forward Jeff Carter WILL be moved.
- Gambi99

Still iffy but makes more sense.

Can someone explain the infatuation with Rick Nash to me?

I understand he's a 30 goal 70 point a year guy but since when is someone like that ,worth almost 8 million against the cap, going to fetch you a top 4 Dman... a solid goalie, a top prospect, and a draft pick????.... If that's the case, Edmonton.... James Neal is on pace for over 40 this year which would top Nash's career high ..... How about sending us Nugent Hopkins and your first rounder this year?

While getting out of Columbus would help anyone... I just don't think LA is going to be getting a consistent 40 goal a year guy for the next 6 years.

You nailed it! Notice his Twitter preamble doesn't tout any trades he's broken, but how many visitors this site gets?

if this is true clb should fold because this trade will destroy this franchise

He reported a month ago nash was available... he also broke the kaberle trade.. i mean by no means does he get everything right but he's had more right than eklund.. and he just uses twitter doesn't make money off it with banner ads and such...
- beleaf4ever

Any idiot could have guessed that Nash "might" be made available due to the state the Jackets are in. He plays the numbers game, if you guess on enough crap vaguely, something will hit eventually. He so very astutely "knew" the Isles were going to trade Roloson last year. Funny because I said the same thing to my friends all year. And all my source told me was that I don't have any sources.

Bob has no ads, but he pimps his annoying picks for all sports via his Twitter account. He does his own advertising. So yes, he does make money off it.

And that's the real business here, not the rumors.

that is the one alarming constant here. no common sense in any of the rumours reported. none! is it any wonder none of them ever happen.

He was a goalie after all...

Gomez to Habs

Ruutu out 3 weeks with upper body injury.

I can hear Jim Rutherford yelling motherf!#ker from here.

Hockey Buzz Eklund @Eklund
Hey all, No E5 on this. I reported a rumor. Atmosphere is highly charged, but it's what I do (In case anyone forgot) What's next? We wait..

And Back peddle complete

anyone else find it funny that the kings are the ones coming out to deny this rumor and not the blue jackets? maybe the jackets would actually be ok with this trade hahahaha

Because he's done it for the last 6 years. Scoring 30+ goals in 5 out of those 6. Neal has scored 30 zero times before this year.

Someone should call Ek and make sure he doesn't try to drive anywhere. Obviously someone slipped a big old pile of shroooms into his Kraft Dinner today.
