haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 This is what eklund thinks the prices of some free agents are!!!! http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=7985 He has Dom getting $5.5 mill and Bertuzzi getting 750k. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid this guy is. And that people still listen to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 HAHAHA what?! Hasek at 5 mil, and Bert at 750k? Wow. I've seen it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntsVegas Baby 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 He also has on that site the WIngs have 18.751 to spend, so.. Chelios .850 Schneider 3.5 Markov 2.0 Hasek 5.5 Bertuzzi .750 That leaves 6.151 for one more forward. Shanny again 4.0 or Kariya 4.5 All of this makes no sense because if told me we could have last years team minus Lang and plus Kariya with 1.5 still to spend? I 'd call you crazy.

RedRockit 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Missing the point re Eklund: It matters not his predicitons, matters much (to him, obviously) the hits on his site. He can say any absolutely eejit thing, and get a convo going about it on respected sites such as this. Laughs all the way to the bank, he is, for every hit that people like us make on his iste. Hockey parasite, On your peril, DO NOT GO THERE. Even mere curiosity-clicking lends a form of credence (albeit not much anymore), but worse, yer payin' this arsehole's bills when you click on his site.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 My most significant issue with the list was Souray. $6.75 million for Souray? Surely this was a missprint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph 240 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 He had to have mixed the prices for Hasek and Bertuzzi. 750k is Hasek's previous contract, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 I enjoy reading his blog, the articles and the rumours to a lesser degree.... but Bert and Hasek's salary predictions are just silly....if it was going by their performance, it's not far off, but he has to take other factors into consideration.....

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 I don't know where he gets "Souray to the Islanders" from. It's either back in Montreal, or out in California. If he's going to post crap, at least post the crap that everyone else talks about, and it's the most likely to happen! I almost think he puts all 30 teams in a hat, and draws them out to decide for which player will go where. I mean, that has to be it. Souray to the Islanders? That's almost as bad as Pascal Leclaire to Minnesota. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In reality it'll be... Chelios .850 Schneider 3.5 Markov 2.5 - 3.0 Hasek 2.0 Bertuzzi 2.5 ? Eklund never seizes to amaze me Timmonen 7.2 million? are you kidding me..he is a good d-man but he is not getting 7.2 million!! also don't think Briere, Gomez or Drury are going to get that kinda money!! he'll get around $6.5 easily. If markov got $5.75. McCabe last year got $5.75...Timmonen is the best D available this summer. My most significant issue with the list was Souray. $6.75 million for Souray? Surely this was a missprint. Souray will get around $6 mill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very true Red; this is why he makes outlandish statements and predictions that seems he pulls from one of his orifices. It drawls people in and he can go to his advertisers and say I get this many hits a day. There is a whole lot of money being made on these types of sites.
