Hockey Buzz Eklund @Eklund
Kessel Alert. Stay tuned

It's Eklund, I think this guarantees that Kessel is a Leaf for life

 

[Cake Boss]

Anyone know of a good radio stream I can listen to at work?

Go to TSN 1050.

Or if you have the TuneIn Radio App, do it that way.

 

[Plinko]

NO EKLUND.

NO.

GOD NO.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Kessel going nowhere~P5

 

[bonesmccoy]

It is an absolutely beautiful day here on the Island.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Dreger reporting the Yotes are interested in Bozak :O

 

[Curufinwe]

Thanks.

I love going to PEI in the summer. I'm thinking of going there for my Birthday.

I cannot stand the idiocy of some Red Wings fans.

"I know how we can fix the team's major scoring problems. Trade Tatar, the only guy who could score in the most important playoff games last year!"

Tatar for Phaneuf confirmed

This is true. Boston, Montreal too, from what I've heard. Agent would only say six EC teams, incl. Caps.

[GSG Flash]

TSN put up a nice table showing how much each a player makes on a $2.8 million contract after taxes in each NHL city

http://www.tsn.ca/taxman-wins-when-contracts-are-signed-1.322654

California has the highest taxes while Texas, Florida and Tennessee have the lowest.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Colorado gonna be in hard on Beauchemin according to Bobby Mac.

Also:

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1m1 minute ago
No question there is interest in Kessel. Pitt remains intrigued, but I believe Babcock would prefer to coach him first to see what he has.

KESSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL

 

[Fata1moose]

Things change fast on UFA Day. Now hearing SJ no longer a top contender for Paul Martin. But COL will be in hard on Francois Beauchemin.

We need to stay away from the older defensemen, holyshit.

 

[Giggzy]

I can't believe a team will be giving beleskey 5-7m a year. Idiot GMs need to stop inflating the market by giving guys like this that type of money.

Unless Toronto signs him. Then we can all laugh together.

 

[Coldnoodle]

He's French.

 

[Red_Man]

Everyone is in on every player E10000000000

Any GM who gives Belesky 5x5 + should be fired on the spot

Spoiler

Don't do it Bergevin, don't do it you son of a bitch

 

[Cake Boss]

I love how teams were just buying out shitty players just a day ago and now are they are ready to make the same mistakes.

Motherfuckers don't learn.

 

[Fata1moose]

He's French.

Quebec ties are forever.

@jonasTSN1050 1m1 minute ago

Shanahan on Babcock at the draft: "I know that there are some players we have on our team that Mike wants to see."

More Shanahan on Babcock (1/2): "When I say there are certain players he wants to see...

Shanahan (2/2): "it’s not because he feels that the blueprint needs to change it’s...doing things in a very methodical, thorough way."

 

[Fata1moose]

Most Day 1 #NHLFreeAgency signings since 2005

Avs: 24
Rangers: 24
Panthers: 22
Penguins: 22
Oilers: 19
Lightning: 19

At least we are winning something.

 

[Red_Man]

#predators are looking to get a #6 D that can bring toughness. #oilers are targeting a big time Dman. #tvasports

Cough * Emelin * Cough

If the Leafs do then they won't even have anyone to fire ;___;

edit: ^^ PREDS CAN HAVE POLAK

 

[Samyy]

Cough * Emelin * Cough

Polak!

 

[Cake Boss]

Polak!

Cowen!

 

[Coldnoodle]

Cowen!

Ummmm

UMMMMM

Fuck...

 

[Red_Man]

Hearing talks btw #Leafs and #Pens heating up again on Kessel. Told trade could happen as early as today. #signingseason

Hahahahaha

 

[Samyy]

Ummmm

UMMMMM

Fuck...

Orpik!

Remember, the only insider that probably knows what the hell is going on is @LeafsPR

 

[Kave_Man]

Every hour I'm expecting both stations to tell us how a Kessel deal could happen today and talks have picked up.

To lure in the fools!

 

[yyzjohn]

Leafs aren't giving out info. Remember the day they signed Babcock all the "insiders" said there was 0% chance he was coming to Leafs. Shanahan throwing out BS

 

[BigJonsson]

Kessel for Malkin, do it

:lol

 

[Red_Man]

Orpik!

Remember, the only insider that probably knows what the hell is going on is @LeafsPR

These guys aren't getting their info from the Leafs, they're getting it from the teams they're talking to

 

[Samyy]

These guys aren't getting their info from the Leafs, they're getting it from the teams they're talking to

Right and those other teams will feed whatever info they want to lower the price

 

[Red_Man]

Right and those other teams will feed whatever info they want to lower the price

Probably, but it doesn't diminish the fact that they are talking to teams about him. Moving Kessel is a pretty complex deal, not surprising there's so much talk about it, and it may take a while.

 

[Calamari41]

How to become a trusted insider:

Start off with

1) "Wow, huge deal coming up with [team]... developing..."

If a big trade happens to go through within a few hours, choose

2a) "This is the one I was talking about!"

If nothing happens at all, choose

2b) "The deal fell through, I wish I could tell you more."

Interest never has to go anywhere, so your bases are already covered.

I enjoy Bruce Arthur's tweets, but he's kind of annoying on TV

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Happy Birthday, Smiley!

Free Agent Frenzy today...forgot about it...need to study though... :/

 

[Kave_Man]

I enjoy Bruce Arthur's tweets, but he's kind of annoying on TV

I agree but oddly enough I like him on the radio. Maybe it's because he always seems to be on with idiots so he kinda counterbalances their stupidity.

Also on the subject of annoying. I enjoy Hope Smoke for what he brings on twitter but deer lord can he be preachy.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Mike Richards not listed on NHL's official free-agent list

What does this mean?

 

[Red_Man]

Beleskey as TSN's #2 ranked free agent :lol

I love how the two guys following him both have more points

Also on the subject of annoying. I enjoy Hope Smoke for what he brings on twitter but deer lord can he be preachy.

Yep, he makes a lot of good points, but he speaks as if he's the definitive opinion on all things hockey.

 

[zroid]

Reportedly Franson is seeking the Petry contract? That would be a good deal for just about any team.

 

[Razorskin]

That Franson & Santo trade sure did suck for Nashville.

 

[Calamari41]

Beleskey as TSN's #2 ranked free agent :lol

I like Beleskey a lot and think he's a great player, but where the heck is all of this coming from? Is it because he had a good series against Calgary?

 

[Red_Man]

I seriously thought Kit Harrington was a women in that ad on TSN

 

[Fata1moose]

Here we go! Buckling up for disappointment and apathy.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Alright let's not do anything stupid.
