Their names also both start with K. Just like the time I met George peppard.

So someone is putting out fake Weekes' tweets? Really?

Yup. Some people love chaos haha

Flames aren't trading Tkachuk. Unless he asked to be traded.

The fake Weekes Twitter has a 7 in a white circle as opposed to a white checkmark in a blue circle (twitters stamp of credibility)

Where were you this summer when those were the rumors.

Anyone can make your display name "Kevin Weekes" and change your profile picture to his profile picture but your "@" handle will always remain the same and thats how you tell apart fake accounts from real accounts.

Also real accounts will have a blue checkmark to tell you they are verified.

Blue check mark!

Well I'm off to my beer league to release some stress on the ice. Maybe there will be real news later tonight...

One theory I read was the guys like Friedman and Serivali are being freezes out to give the ESPN insiders some cred. Seems somewhat ridiculous but it does feel like all the noise about the Flames and Eichel is coming out of the North East US.

[getbak]

I'm guessing this goes down shortly after noon tomorrow because the Flames will need to put a couple guys on waivers to clear the cap space to fit Eichel under the cap. I believe that Zadorov and Ritchie on waivers with Tkachuk going the other way would clear the room (or Ritchie to LTIR depending on the severity of his injury).

Assuming they both clear (which they almost-certainly would), keep them in Calgary using the cap space you get from putting Eichel on LTIR. If they don't clear, be thankful for the extra cap space and wish them well.

I dont want to see it happen, but if there was one player he had to be traded for JE fits the bill.



If he was truly on the table though I believe JE would be a Flame now, so...BS.

Interesting tidbit that Tkachuk’s camp talking to Sabres could be a big stumbling block to this deal…

Strickland has sources in St. Louis and close to the Tkachuk family

Or unless he told them he's not extending.

[direwolf]

Ok, so it'll be Monahan then?

I think it’s possible he told the Sabres he wouldn’t sign there, all but nixing the deal. He was the chip that Vegas wasn’t going to match though, and if he’s off the table I would suspect Vegas is the front runner.

[Wastedyouth]

Eichel isn't worth much more than Tkachuk, much less adding multiple 1sts and prospects. It would be a moronic trade.

I was talking about Weekes. The guy said he's been a "pundit" for 5 years

Oh god... if a tentative long-term extension handshake is a pre-requisite to this getting done this could take months.
