avelanch Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think this is nothing more than Eklund trying to create traffic for his site around the trade deadline. Who is going to visit a rumor site once the deadline passes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 if san jose gets ovechkin (i'm skeptical), i could see clowe and marleau or pavelski going the other way. probably more, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 "A player once thought would NEVER be moved" Would most likely be Ovechkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thornton + Marleau for Ovechkin Ovechkin - Couture - Havlat Galiardi - Pavelski - Clowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Killer Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 San Jose and Washington, obviously. Id imagine Couture would have to go for ovechkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockhart Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'd do Lu for Vinny if they carry some of his cap hit for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagr68 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Eklund's (who's not the best source out there, but does get some of the Eastern deals right the past while) has posted 3 times about a 'massive/major' deal. See his latest quote: "Also, regarding major rumored deal from before.. The deal involves a team out west and a team in the southeast..." and "A player once thought would NEVER be moved" All 3 posts the past few days have been surrounding this claim. If all indications are right, rumors are the 'west' team is either San Jose or Vancouver and the Southeast team is TB or Washington, who are in need of some changes. Names in the mix are Luongo, Ballard, Kesler (VAN), Marleau, Niemi (SJ), Lecavalier, Connolly (TB), Green, and ...the 'Great 8' Ovechkin (WSH). More details from Eklund to come as the trade deadline day looms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Why do people still go to this guys site or follow him on twitter. The fact that he links his website on twitter (unlike dreger and bubba who post the actual rumors) just goes to show he's tryin to generate website traffic by spewing drivel. And it works.

Trebreh Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Galiardi in your top 6? 1st round exit anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Players that wouldn't have been moved on those teams that make sense: Lecavalier St.Louis Green Carlsson Or on the other side of things: Boyle Thornton Marleau Thornton for Lecavalier swap? Boyle for Green? Or if it involves the Canucks maybe Lu for St.Louis, or Lu for Carlsson? I would like Lu for Campbell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 ^ I'd rather do Lu for Vinny. He could be either 2nd or 3rd line centre depending. Tampa would have to carry some of his cap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Maybe Florida is finally willing to part with Bjugstad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 "thought never to be moved" implies lifetime contract/face of the franchise. the only applicable players in this scenario are ovechkin and lecavalier. edit: MAYBE st. louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It doesn't say which side the player is on though. If it's San Jose it could be Thornton or Marleau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
