See I told you guys. If Ek reports it then it means the whispers are out there. Now a day later a source specifically names LA as a Barzal possibility. Could happen.

As for Nylander, if they trade him for Sanheim then I wonder if they use all of the new cap space for Hoffman. Or maybe they try to re-acquire Kapanen?

Nylander would get back much more than sanheim.
Hes not moving to the flyers for that return.

Don't look now, but Nylander's deal is now considered 'team-friendly'. This is nothing more than clickbait involving one of the most followed teams and Ek's favorite team. Will never happen.

What a joke, if it were Seattle where Barzal played Juniors or Vancouver which is close to his home Id say maybe, but the Kings ? why would he go there after finishing in the final four? Im sure he'd love going to a rebuilding team that he has zero ties to

And why would the Islanders, a year away from opening a new Arena trade away their biggest ticket selling draw and best player. I guess they miss being a bottom feeder, right Ek

this is click bait nothing more

No a shot in Hell! And there is a possibility I could win the lottery one day.

Barzal-Kopitar would make a lethal 1-2. Then I guess Byfield starts slow at 3C. Although there is still Vilardi and Turcotte coming. Kupari can play wing. Anyway, seems the Kings are actually pretty deep at center so not sure why Barzal would be their priority. But maybe a guy like Turcotte is involved in the trade. Like Barzal and Ladd as a cap dump for Doughty and Turcotte. Ek are you hearing any specific names out of LA?

No, it doesn't. It means that he likes people talking on his blog.

why would the isles do that, Doughty is getting older and isnt Half the player he once was, there are no specific names because it was made up

The Isles arent Taking Doughty in decline and giving up their best player, they will resign barzal with the money from Boychucks LTIR assignment

Ek has had Nylander traded for 5 years now. One of these days it'll happen. He's had Malkin traded since 2004. There's still time before he retires. Barzal is just the latest flavour of the month.

Well then maybe its just Barzal for futures. Like if LA offered Byfield and Turcotte for Barzal, then that would really help the NYI rebuild.

It was a awful trade to start with so you added a 3rd/4th liner from Philly and added a top D prospect from the Leafs.

Yes, how indeed did it get worse?

the isles just finished in the final four. they Have a New arena opening. its the Kings who are rebuilding. they wouldnt give up 4 top-10 picks to offersheet Barzal and the Kings Know they are old in Key spots with Doughty, Brown, Kopitar and Quick so they are not going after Barzal

This is Just Eklund making up nonsense that has no basis in reality. its his livelihood and he cant support his family if he doesnt drive traffic through his portal. he has no sources with the Isles whatsoever otherwise he would have known about Boychucks decision before it happened, Which he didnt.

so dont buy the scam, because thats all it is

What if the Flyers add a sweetener? Gritty replaces Mike in Basement as Leafs HB blogger for a month? A free HB season ticket? A HB t-shirt? All 3?

If Lou trades Barzal it will be his last deal as a GM. Not saying he wouldn't do it, but it would cost him his job. I think he's aware

Ek is the only person I know who broke the King Alex to the Kings on draft day story. He's connected.

If I actually read Mike's blogs, I might do it. But I don't, 'cause I don't care for bloggers opinions.
