Sami seems to be one good/bad bodycheck away from forced retirement.

Leafs will take that risk and trade Ceci straight up, with NJ paying the $$ difference.

Vatanen is a UFA with $4.875M contract. How is this gonna work?


They're almost halfway through the season, so aren't we talking about ~50% of his salary?

Regardless, I wouldn't want to give up anything good for him.

Ek seems to be using this tactic a lot lately. He makes some wild claim about the leafs or another team people like to hate in order to get arguments going in the comments section. That's my take at least.

Except there's no argument. I can tell by your "tone", you yourself think that is a bit of hyperbole

Colorado and the Islanders were in on Hall until the end, but I am told one of the reasons the Canadiens felt OK letting Hall go is they see Jonathan Drouin as a better long-range solution...Drouin is injured currently, but again, this is a long game being played by Colorado.
- Eklund


This all makes no sense. The Canadiens are trying to trade for their own player? Also, what do they have to do with Taylor Hall if only the Isles and Avs were in on him late?

All of them have won a playoff series in the last 15 years, which was his claim. Go ahead, prove him wrong.

But the goal isn't to WIN playoff series...its to GET there...get hammered out in the first round by Boston...then claim league supremacy....

Okay. Then how would you measure the success of each team over the last 15 years?

Unbelievably stupid post Ek. Yeah we lost out on Hall (LW), let’s go after Pageau, a centre....mmmmmm

Lies and bullpoop all the time. Took you waaaaaaay longer than anyone else to even mention the Hall trade.

Cutting edge hockey news and rumours.... it ain’t on this site!

"On Vatanen...

A source tells me the Leafs and NJ are in deep stages of talks right now...Montreal also with interest. Always fun when the NHL Superpowers are fighting for the same guy."

So Vatanen to the Jets it is

So Montreal believes drouin will be a better superstar and ok with letting hall go..... so even if Avs have “interest” why the hell post it? No where in there does it say mtl will consider it or avs are planning On a offer.

This more than anything seems like it trying to bait people into clicking the story and bring in traffic, and ashamed to say I fell for it as well.

Since the beginning of (NHL ) time until the end of (NHL) time. They r the only 2 teams that really matter and if you are not a fan of one and hate the other you sadly are missing out on THE rivalry in hockey and Canada. I expect you will be mad and indignant upon reading this absolute truth though lol.

Who is claiming league supremacy? This started with me (a Leafs fan) making fun of the fact that EK referred to the Leafs and Habs as super powers.

Seriously, you're a Sabres fan. What do you have to celebrate anyway?

well....theres always the fact that Eichel has turned outto be twice the player Matthews is....at a lower price

but the point is...noone said the Sabres are a superpower like Leafs fans say about their team.

A little early to pronounce Jack as a superstar. Saber fans. You'd think you'd learn to wait a little time before making bold announcements

Your jealousy is just sad to watch.
