Eklund: Rumor Update. On the Rangers, Byfuglien, the Leafs, the Jets, the Preds+

I could see buff to the rags. Winnipeg would want Stepan likely or similar. They need top 6 centers. What would the rags be willing to deal?

I can't see it being girardi.

I agree with this.

The Leafs need a serious infusion ! For the first time that I can remember, I tuned out of the game and watched Duck Dynasty.

Please tell me the Flames are going to start moving some guys out. Fans know its a rebuilding season. But 5 out of 7 games shut out is unacceptable. Move Hudler while his value is still fairly high. If the Flames are going to continue to be this bad (which was to be expected- and I do want a high pick), but let's get the kids playing at least.

I'm very surprised Burke hasn't put a small mark on the team yet. I guess he's busier looking for a new GM....

Agreed! Lets get the ball rolling.

I agree. Burke has been too slow here. This is desperate situation.

Dont put stock into anything Ek says

And Buff on the big international ice?? The only surprise is no Yandle on that team.

Ek definitely dont know diddley about hockey... even less than Bo Jackson

There should be a Cammy blog coming up soon, no?

Uhhhh

Yeah Same not given up, ill still watch the puck drop on all the games but truthfully it is getting harder and harder for me to watch the leafs get outshot, outchanched and just outworked in General in 95% of there games

I'm happy Buff is not on Team USA, he is a BIG liability defensivley. Russia and Canada would have went by him on that ice surface like the Road Runner did to the Coyote. Keith Yandle would be picked 100 times before him. Maybe if Buff would be back at a winger/power forward type role he would have more value. As a Pens fan, it would be nice to see the Rags or Flyers over pay to get him, then put him out there against Crosby and Malkin.

Yes he has a cannon of a shot, and can be physical. Anything else???

Hudler would get a nice return for a bubble team I think. He's always had a good work ethic and a strong hockey IQ. Kind of miss him in Detroit these days.. and Filpulla too.

Really that's what the Flames need is to get kids up laying in these 5-0 losses and destroy their confidents so they never develop into legit NHLers leave the vets in the lineup move them closer to the deadline and draft high

For Kesler+ Horvat

Fixed.

No no no

You dont know ANYTHING... I HATE YOU

- kneughter

1st rounder at minimum.

In all seriousness, what is the date that teams can trade for Ryan O'Reilly?

This is a very good point. I wouldn't want the kids up playing the remainder of the season. I just would like to see what the flames did to finish last season. Calling 1-2 guys up for about 3 games each to give them a taste, then rotating it out for another 2 guys.

Something that worries me greatly is Gedreau's feelings towards the Flames....will he pull a Shultz and sign elsewhere?

Burke better be buttering him up like crazy and looking to sign him once the college season ends!

I think you guys will be fine with Gaudreau, lots of opportunity for him to crack your lineup. He's skilled like crazy, but I'm sure he's aware his height would scare many teams away. Better to stick with the team who had the confidence to draft you then go elsewhere and try to earn their trust.

In all seriousness, what is the date that teams can trade for Ryan O'Reilly?

I think its Feb 28th.
