Why would you negotiate if the whole thing could be nixed by Melynk anyways?
That just doesn't make any sense!
RDS is TSN, no?

He's not waiving his NMC for fuckin' Columbus.
Our GM has a bad case of Paul Holmgren disease, why are trading so much for Nash ??
I would not be surprised if this was the case. And I can't say I would blame Melnyk if this were the case.
Got a great fucking idea for both parties.
Colombus drafts Yakupov and picks up Gonchar to be his mentor like he was for Malkin.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
What? I don't even...
That doesn't make the least bit of sense.
That said, I'm surprised Eklund didn't end that with, "Toronto picking up interest!"

It's not a great idea for Gonchar, he can at least have a chance at playing in the playoffs in his last NHL season.

It's a figure of speech. It is equivalent to giving up all your talent. It has nothing to do with your farm system.
Gonchar's only real goal is to make the Russian team in Sochi for 2014.

It doesn't matter, this is why he got an NMC, to prevent being traded to places like Columbus. He's got his family here and everything.

Greatest draft day ever?
On that point, I would agree, but I don't he would necessarily nix a deal to a non-playoff team just because he wants to be in the post-season.

That sounds like it would be an AMAZING deal for the Oilers if they get Subban and MTL's pick. They could get Dumba AND Subban. Then their "All Young Dudes" team would be complete.

Bergevin not a fan of PK ?
I wonder if Carey Price will sign a long term deal when his BFF is traded to the oilers.

"Lets start with all your players that won Gold and build up from there."
I'm so tired, I'll probably be drooling on my pillow during the draft. Asleep, that is.

Lol Subbans not going anywhere, Bergevin is probably putting some bait out there for the 1% chance someone offers an unbelievable deal. It's just good management, but that being said it would take too much to move Subban. Future face of the franchise along Price. Anyone who seriously thinks they would move Subban and our #3 pick for #1 when Yakupov could already fall to 3 needs to get their head checked out.
John Jaeckel is about as accurate as Eklund.
Stop posting all these dumb fucking rumors.
Hawks and Sens send trade kane , bishop, lehner foligno, stalberg, crawford, zibanjed and both 1st round picks for joint custody of rick Nash
Howson plans to use an innovative 5 goalie system.
SI's mock draft: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...mock.draft/index.html?sct=hp_t2_a11&eref=sihp
Amazing how Grigorenko's stock has plummeted. The USA Today had the Sabres picking him at 12, and this has him going 14 to the Flames. Please be available..

Sorry papa.
This. The odd one is fun, but posting stupid speculation every 3 minutes is annoying.

I just noticed something.. Montreal filed for arbitration with Price to avoid offer sheets.. why didn't they do the same for P.K. Subban? Unless I missed the news?
Not sure actually, I've been focusing on the draft so much this past week. If they move him for fucking smid and 32nd pick I will burn my house down.
Guy from the 4th Period who is a pretty reliable guy and doesn't speculate on much :
"If Yakupov somehow falls to 3 and it's lining up more that way with every passing minute, Habs will not pass on him."
It will be pretty crazy if he actually does fall to 3.
Yeah, I read it from a guy on HF who believed. Worse is that I follow Dreger on Twitter, but my feed doesn't always update as it should, so I got carried away, but after force updating it a couple of times, I realized I been had.
Yes, but with different(french) analysts.
'Tis what happens when your team, who normally drafts 15-20, gets a top 3 pick.
