[Rumour] Weekes: Flames offering Tkachuk, 1st, former 1st, 2 prospects for Eichel

[Muta]

I don't really want to lose Chucky. He brings an element of high-level agitation to the ice that this team would sorely miss.

I am not on twitter.

A friend just texts me a tweet from Weeks at 9.30 EST that this is done and that Tkachuk and Bread are gone.

Fake news?

- Why do they do this you ask?They are tired of Brad texting and calling with a less then average package. So they release what they actually want to their insiders.
-What does this do? Puts pressure on Brad. While also in turn puts pressure on Vegas. The only two teams that have the parts that Buffalo apparently wants for Eichel.

- Now that the rumors are flying, obviously the players aforementioned know about them...What does this do? Hurts our team which is out to its greatest start in 20 years.



Just my take, but to me I believe this is what is going down.

Some fans think the trades are made through the media... Only a GM about to be fired for incompetence would fall for the pressures of made up trade rumours through the media.

Or this is the offer and the Sabres want more so it was leaked to put pressure on buffalo to accept or Vegas to increase. Who knows? None of us have a clue.

Not in a million years would it involve both of those guys.

Fake.

Weekes' last Tweet is the OP of this thread. Never named Mangiapane and hasn't Tweeted since.

I think the Buffalo GM is desperate to get a deal done.

Fake, I have it on good authoritah that he's going to Edmonton.

[MrMike]

Makes more sense to include Tkachuk, but I would love to have a loaded top 9 including him and Eichel even just for one year.

Adams after Treliving has offered the entire team, entire prospect pool and all our picks for the next 5 years:

Not really though. I don't have Twitter and there are a lot of things I can't do when clicking on a Twitter link.

you can search insider accounts and search keywords you just cant reply to anything or retweet anything.

[FanIn80]

It takes seconds to set up a twitter account under a dummy name and literally never use it again for anything other than just being able to log in while reading tweets.

[djsFlames]

Twitter a circus now.

Too many weeds to sift through. Reminds me of November 2020 fraud conspiracy rumours, but... the hockey version of that.

I'll trust nothing short of the fax to NHL headquarters.

In a broad sense? Maybe.

But Kevin Weekes and Kevyn Adams played together in the NHL from March 2002 to April 2004 - two years.

Honestly I don't get this. My pal in Vancouver texts me what looks like a legit tweet from Weekes from 7:30pm our time, but yeah when I google his twitter his latest tweet is from 4 hours ago.

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