I could see Bernier but never Hunter (wasn't he on waivers?) and Pancake boy...

Hunter is literally one of the worst hockey players you will ever watch. He makes your eyes and soul bleed.

All of you are gonna feel pretty stupid when the Kings pull this one off.

But you watch, they will take Bernier out because Columbus (frank)ed with them on closing the deal.

And you will all bow to Ek.

Come on, dude. It wasn't funny 15 minutes ago.....

Here's what I don't get. Ek is a smart enough guy when it comes to hockey and player's value. If he heard this rumor directly from a source, why not downplay it a bit? Instead of naming all of the players involved (which sounds like a gross underpayment) and stating that it's next to done, etc.; he could have easily phrased it in a different matter to the point where it was only a rumor and didn't sound like a ridiculous offer.

For example: League source says LA and CBJ are talking about Nash. Main parts coming from LA appears to be Bernier and a pick, with more pieces to follow.

This way, if that trade actually did come through, he would still be the first to report the main details and didn't divulge enough details to look crazy. If it didn't come true, it's only a rumor and since only parts of the trade were mentioned, it could still have some legs down the line.

I just don't get it.....

Agreed. Does anyone know the last trade Ek broke?

Are you angling for a free season's pass or a referee gig?
- AlexF

Yeah, because a referee gig is so ultimately awesome.

Work for free! Do all the dirty work, while Ek profits!

You know, Abe Lincoln went through a lot so that people wouldn't have to do that sort of thing...

A little harsh on the comments....obviously some bad intel.....TSN just reported it will take 3-4 solid assets....after Bernier and maybe voynov....that deal didn't make sense...

Bernier, JJ, an A- to B+ FW prospect and a first would get it done for sure.

I don't know what is supposed to be funny.

You don't believe the rumours and doubt the guy, then no need to come here.

This deal will happen

So I guess I can confirm Ek subscribes to various TSN Twitter accounts.
