Eklund: Kings Want Nash, but wont trade.. Flyers/Sabres ...McDonagh, Green, more
- Eklund

Thanks for confirming Bob Mckenzie’s rumours, Ek. I take what insiders like McKenzie say with a grain of salt until it’s confirmed by you.

Jumping on this Ranger's sweepstakes a little to much, aren't we Ek?

Don't get too excited now

Did the Rangers ask nicely? Saying please goes a long way

So when you want somebody, but do not want to trade...you steal him, is that it ?

Great tittle !

Sabres just said Reinhart will not be traded. So put the Flyers rumor to bed.

I hope the Bolts do get Karlson, that would be the best thing that could happen to the Leafs.

Size, speed, hands, experience

I could see somebody giving up a bad 1st...but nothing else

Myers, Morin, or Sanheim for Pouliot and a third? Perhaps? Sabres need Defense, and Flyers need bottom 6 scoring. I could see something along those lines.

I want a sandwich and won't trade my doritos.

Why? those are good trade chips

It's not going to happen, but to go further down the Karlsson to Tampa pipe dream ....

If Karlsson were to end up in Tampa, who do you put on the top pairing?

Do you leave Hedman and Stralman intact on the top pair? If so, that relegates Karlsson to the 2nd pairing - and he will be making far too much money for a second pairing role.

Do you bump Hedman to the 2nd pairing? Hedman is arguably as good as Karlsson, so again, you end up with a top-pair guy on the 2nd pair. Not a terrible dilemma I guess.

Or, do you pair them together and make a dynamic Nordic duo of destruction and woe?

The implications are dizzying, but it's all fantasy to consider it. The Lightning would have to give up too much to acquire him and then they would end up in cap-hell.

If you were ever going to trade Vilardi, you would be better with Pacioretty anyway. Younger player, better goals/season average for the last couple years, better cap hit, signed for another year ...

You pair them however you want. And you wind up with two 1st pairing lines, can't be a bad thing. If it brings them a cup then cap hell is worth while

bolts are not getting karlsson but i'm sure we won't have a issue putting him with hedman and moving stralman down to the 2nd pair

Did you eat right before bed last night? Your dreams are getting stranger and stranger. Try cutting back on late night binge eating. Reduce your caffeine intake as well.

If you say so. Nash probably would be the Kings most dominent player as of now
