More made up "rumours." Eklund you should just admit you're making these scenarios up and have us discuss them.

Ek,
what would (in your opinion) the teams mentioned have to give up to acquire Trouba?

@woopstash

It's a rumours web site in case you haven't noticed since you signed up in 2011. If you don't like it, delete your account, move along, and most importantly, don't come back.

Trade Reinhart for trouba . I doubt Minnesota would be that dumb but buffalo better figure out a way to dump this waste before everybody realizes he sucks

Ek I'm hearing Trouba to Van for Edler/Hansen +

confirm?

Trouba doesn't play for Minnesota so I doubt they would trade him to Buffalo

Ek I'm hearing Trouba to Van for Edler/Hansen +

confirm?

It USED TO BE a rumours website. Back when Eklund started this site nobody was on Twitter and "insiders" had to wait for a spot on TV or the radio. It was easy for Eklund to make stuff up then. Since that time all the real insiders have got Twitter etc making it instantly possible to debunk the "rumours" Eklund makes up.
Hockeybuzz is no longer a "rumour website", it's a hockey website where people come to talk hockey. If you're still coming here for rumours then you may want to do some checking on when the last "rumour" Eklumd made up actually came to fruition. You really think GM's and "high ranking NHL officials" as he calls them are giving him inside information on the inner workings of NHL teams? It's laughable.

The whole concept is laughable.

You comes to hockeybuzz for the rumours ??!

It's a hockey discussion site where fans can discuss their fav teams in changing forums.
That's why anyone that understands how silly the rumour business is doesn't take it in the least bit serious. and certainly doesn't put any credence in eks "rumours"

trading Trouba for fair value and WANT is going to be tough

As for Trouba ....for the Jets to get what they want they have to add and maybe more than fans may like.

Lindholm would cost Trouba and top pick or prospect for sure. I say package some picks and prospects and get a upper/middle tier LHD and let Trouba skate in Detroit for a year.

The whole concept is laughable.

This

I think he actually does his website a disservice by continuing with the disingenuous Rumour mil. The continued charade not only hurts his credibility, but the websites

Stick to what works in terms of team blogs and the odd blog of interest for people to weigh in on.

I have always come to back to this site strictly because of the Blackhawks fan base (knowledgeable, constructive, etc.) and because while Jaeckel does post rumors to the best of his sources and knowledge, he most importantly follows and knows the Hawks system very, very well. Not to mention, he has a good "writers attitude."

Other than that, rumors are just that.....rumors..

Oh boy so that's Trouba, Fowler, Russell, and Shattenkirk to the Devils, huh?

Where did you hear that?!

I'd bet it would take something involving Hutton/Tanev or Joulevi over the two you'd prefer to rid yourself of. surprised you didn't suggest it was Sbisa

So essentially your only contribution to this thread is to troll Eklund? Why bother and just go to another site if you don't like what he posts.

Made up or not it's always fun to discuss transactions; real or otherwise.

This response is to Woopstash as well.

I do agree with you guys that the site has become more a hockey talk than a rumour site, but it's called hockeybuzz, not hockey-rumours, so I would think the "buzz" part would encompass hockey talk as well as rumours. No I am not so daft as to believe all the rumour talk, and yes I come here far more for the debates than the rumours, but if your going to use this forum to speak your mind, do it without being a complete d1ck to the host. Are you that F tard that gets invited to someone's house party, eats their food, drinks their beer, talks Sh1t about the host and trashes the place?!! You are now...

Actually i come here first for rumors and trades.Laugh all you want but the fan bases on here post alot of info as it comes in.I have seen trades posted on here with fans faster then TSN post it on their website.

- Flamin_Irishmin

Did you just equate posting here to going to a house party and drinking all their beer ?


What planet do you live on ?

- Ross77

We can't move Sbisa maybe for a 5th. Contract blows.

Ya I'm thinking Tanev would be for sure and asking price…and this isn't the first time I have heard WPG interest in Hansen.

Hutton and Juolevi are going nowhere. Gaunce would be dangled possibly or Subban.

Tanev/Hansen + IMO should be enough to get that deal done.

Generally speaking, not even close.

It's a discussion site. It also passes on finalized trades from information found on said websites

The rumour mill on hb is simply, try and think of a plausible need /scenario- then throw sh1t against the wall and hope it sticks .
Push that nonsense for a few days- switch teams and forget it was ever mentioned.

Rinse repeat
