Cannot be Toronto then, because Burkie is gone. SJ maybe or PHI

Eklund: Stay Tuned. Rumors of a Major Deal Brewing..
- Eklund

come on Ek

that's like saying something might happen but I will not mention any names so I can't be laughed at

But if something does happen, you heard it first here



step off the ledge and throw some names out so you get some street cred back

you had balls 7 or 8 years ago, feel free to start using them again

Martin St.Louis to van
Luongo to Tampa
Obviously more pieces involved but that's what I keep hearing ... Hope not
- Redmile247

I'd like to think Yzerman has more sense than that.

All of their picks (CBJ, NYR, LAK) are set to be from 10-18. Not worth it in the slightest.
- LetsGoBuffalo75

I don't understand your reasoning. Buffalo isn't going to be able to re-sign Pommer, Vanner, & Millsy. One or more will have to go. Pominville is the odd man out, and it is better you get something for him now.

Terrible trade but ou because dion had a a decent rep at that point , he was playing like garbage and I didn't think they would get much for him at all ....
- Redmile247

It's difficult to support this interpretation in light of how bad a GM Darryl was, especially around the time he made the trade.

Personally I'll always believe that Darryl only ever was talking to Burke, never making a serious effort to actually shop Dion, and because Burke is a far better GM than Darryl, he played him. The fact that Aulie was included in the deal for no apparent reason when, at the time he was one of the Flames top prospects says it all to me.

makes some sense, TB in need of a starting goalie

I'm sure going to be hitting refresh every 30 seconds. This is going to be big. I can only imagine how much More is going To Come.

Steve Moore doing porn now to offset his lost hockey wages?

Pens get Morrow

"@DarrenDreger: Source says Pens-Stars have trade in place for Brendan Morrow. But has yet to waive no trade clause."/Stay tuned. Here we go

Brendan Morrow to the Penguins for Joe Morrow.

Don't forget Ken Morrow.

Pens get Morrow
- lloyd095

Stars get Morrow.

id say sharp would go out of the core of the hawks, no way kane or toews go anywhere, from habs i would assume pax and eller would be involved and emilen would be coming our way, i doubt habs would move subban
- Hawkeyes

Sharp does not fit the bill of "a player we thought would never get traded." On Chicago, Kane and Toews fit that bill.

makes some sense
- Leafs24seven

I would be ecstatic if Gillis could pull that one off, but I doubt Yzerman would do it.

- Jawallstar1

I understand that, I want him gone, but sure as hell not for a poopty pick.

Brendan Morrow to the Penguins for Joe Morrow.
- Maxbone

IF that, or anything close, is true...then talk about reducing Iginla's value even more.
Once again, the franchise continually shooting itself in the foot for being too conservative.

I'd like to think Yzerman has more sense than that.
- FLflames34

Me too

I still talk about it because I'm a masochist who likes to reflect endlessly on the failings of my own team.

And hey, Stajan is our best center right now, he might have even avoided the amnesty buyout everyone thought was inevitable

oh dear lord it's worse than I thought in Flameville

It's true. In fact, Backlund is the only other natural center on the roster.

Credit to Hartley maybe, Stajan really has had his best year since before he got traded.

Ek was shopping Kane last year wasn't he?

More to this trade I think

Schenn and Dion had a beef. Not really sure what. Dion just didn't like Schenn for some reason.
- Big_Lightnin

No one likes Dion. He's a dbag. Even Kessel doesnt like him.

It's difficult to support this interpretation in light of how bad a GM Darryl was, especially around the time he made the trade.

- S Kaspar Rollins

His value was not as good and he had to get moved. Unfortunately, Darryl decided to buy a car and only went to the first dealership. Sat down, and waited for Burke to keep including things to make it sound better than it really was.

Regardless, I don't think it was the worst trade he made.

What a loser Eklund is . He has no credibility.
There's no trade. The moron is making stuff up.
LOSER!!!

- FLflames34

The truth is that Iginla needed to be traded at least 1-2 years ago, the only question is how much damage they did by waiting this long.

It's true. In fact, Backlund is the only other natural center on the roster.

Nice backstory...
