It is Larry Brooks, just typical verbal diahrea coming out of him. When has Brooks ever called anything? I think Eklund might be more credible.

It is NBC sports, they don't ever include Canadian teams in big rumours.

In the world of NBC Sports, there are no Canadian teams.

There have been lots of comments by insiders this year saying UFAs don't want to play in Canada because of social media. So i don't think players care so much about metropolitan area, but more this level of uh, fervor.

This is f'n disturbing. Not funny, not cool, excessive and disturbing. I'm sure the creator is here somewhere. You should feel shame, you know.

So we trade for Eichel AND if it doesn’t work out in the next two years, trade him while retaining salary and rebuild. Boom return on investment.

Joke will be on you when all his scripting and incantations work.

The prophecy hath been rewritten!

They're better when it's down to the minute though. Gotta go magic balls all in. So kind of a half-assed prophecy.

There's a reason why I picked Game 4. That was the one Montreal actually showed up for.

I wonder if it’s going to be a dark horse team that ends up with Eichel.

Carolina? Lots of cap space, nice pieces and assets for trade

Nashville? Cap space, maybe not as asset rich.

Will be interesting.

This is approaching Trumpian cult status. Going full dip####anon. Can't wait for the next prophecy.

I personally thought at the seasons' end with Hamilton ready to walk, and this team being pretty even throughout, they'd make a run for the guy. It just seemed like a good selling point for them on the 2nd line. There haven't been any rumors from them, so they're probably going to keep rolling 3 lines for another year.

I may have missed it, but did the Flames resign Johnny?

I’m hearing the Buffalo ask for Eichel from Vegas is Smith, Peyton Krebs, Nic Hague and a first-rounder.

Honestly, Monahan/Valimaki/Corronato/2nd is a better package.

Team replaces them with Eichel/Mackie/Zary/keeping the 1st. I think that this is a very absorbable cost. If Corronato is taking the NCAA route, that could be a two to four year wait, and that is a lifetime from now. Valimaki will hurt.

Yup, the reported ask from Vegas makes me feel like it isn't true or Treliving is trying to wait the Sabres out.
