Latest Eklund: Belfour being shopped

[phantom5251 0]

Detroit being one of them

[redwings1914 18]

Pleaseeeeeeee Kenny DONT BRING EDDIE HERE!!!!!!!!

[PRStoetzer 1]

Hahahaha. No way the Wings can afford $4.56 million. I'd much rather have Osgood for $1.5 million and not have to give up anything.

Yeah id stay away from the 40 year old Belfour.....far away.

[MacAttack25 44]

Yeah right!Bringing Belfour in would put us at 31 or 32 million dollars with only 15 players signed.Not happening.

There's always a chance he would rework it, but I'm not sure if I'd want him here either.

how could he rework it? I thought reconstructuring contracts wasn't allowed?

[maltbyrocks18 0]

he has a high price tag and is old so it does fit to hollands likeing but, i dont even see him doing something this bad, and IMO our goalie should be legace next year.

not possible

Spector's Rumor

Well, go to trade rumors. Then look in terror as you see:

Belak, Belfour

FOR

Zetterberg

Finally, scream.

Seriously, this would be the biggest waste Ken Holland could possibly do. Zets is a up and coming star, while Belak is a #6 Dman and Belfour MIGHT be able to play one more year.

[Aberstar910 0]

Maybe Belfour and Sundin and Steen and a first rounder for Zetterberg.

I dont know if he meant to say that or if he meant to say he might accept less money from the Wings.

[PRStoetzer 1]

Also, Eklund said Boston is interested. Why the hell is Boston interested in Belfour? Andrew Raycroft is going to be a star for many, many years to come and no team needs a $4.56 million backup. Heck, the $1.14 million for Legace to backup here is too much.

[Guest wingsfan4life24]

i dont know why these stupid rumors wont die

holland cant be that stupid to trade his future for a 40 yr old 5 million dollar goalie

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

I dont know if he meant to say that or if he meant to say he might accept less money from the Wings.

ahhh, I see.

but seriously if this happens. I will jump off a bridge.

He also says Boston is interested in Belfour. This could mean 1 of 2 things..

1.) Eklund has no credibility whatsoever.

2.) A 3 team deal between Toronto, Detroit, and Boston could go down. Thornton, Raycroft, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Belfour are some of the names that could be involved I guess.

Worst. Rumor. Ever.

I agree, if this ludicrous deal goes down I will throw away all of my love for hockey

Yeah, that's what I meant...I should have reworded it. I meant that he might accept less to come here.

yeah no biggie, I see what u mean.

If I was Belfour and with my history of back problems, would I want to come to a team like the Wings, who could offer me no protection from being "run at".

[Heaton 1]

It makes no sense, why would we want a 4m goalie and a 4th line player for Zetterberg when he'd be cheaper than both?
