Eklund: NY Isles Will Go All in on Paccioretty if Tavares Moves on. New Picks +

Oh... the islanders should be totally fine then....... right? RIGHT?!?

Time to update the standings...Sharks already have 89 points

Really !!! . . . Flyers are going to take 17 of a possible 20 points !! And Panthers will take 20 of possible 26 !! Sounds like fuzzy math to me.

Granted - I'm biased, but I doubt that's going to happen, and the race for Metro 3rd place, and resulting WC will be closer.

They will take 1 more point out of 10 remaining games... Meanwhile Ducks are going to rally even though they are projected to lose tonight... Ek got really good weed.

70% that Tavares is going to be signing with the Islanders for a VERY long time...

In relation to Eklunds knowledge of the CBA, this must mean atleast a 12 year contract

Trying to figure out your (idiotic) prediction system here, Ek. You have the Ducks ending with 101 pts. and losing today against NJ. That would leave ANA with 9 games left in which to earn the 17 points they need to get to 101. I like your confidence but I highly doubt the Ducks are going to go 8-0-1 in their last nine. Might be time to pop in a fresh 9v into the TI-30.

The islanders can easily trade one of their first rounders, and one or two of their prospects who are already playing in NHL or very close to aquire some
Help for taveras.

No kidding.....The Sharks are going to drop all 10 of their last 10 games with one OTL?!

Do his “reliable sources” send him this stuff for giggles. Or is Garf the source?

Good plan... lost an elite #1 center and go all in for an aging winger.

Don't go for a center or upgrade in goal. That would make too much sense.

Will you be beating the Gally horse again this summer Ek?

Ek's sources...

Ek said last week that he was 60% sure Tavares was leaving the Isles. Now he says he's 70% sure he's staying with the Isles. Ah I understand now. This is Buzztron math.

Yes, but let's make it a little harder:

Ek predicts the Flyers will lose today in extra time, so they have to go 8-1 in their remaining 9 games.

Thank God you’re never right

Alot happens in those 2 years apparently. Everything breaks down. I should be dead right now. At least I know where it all went wrong.

Good News and bad news for the Flames - they are projected to win all of their final 9 games, but will have 3 of their current OT losses converted to regulation losses and still miss the playoffs.

Good news and bad news for the Oilers. The good news is they excel at draft parties and started planning this year's draft party in January. The bad news is they remain one of the worst pro sports franchises.
