rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 People that read eklund probably also read the National Inquirer I agree with this sentiment. But lately I've been finding with him that the "where there's smoke, there's fire" sentiment can also be true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well he speculates based on team needs so none of his rumors seem that ludicrous, but anything he says is no more legit than what you would read from posters on this forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings87 1,290 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 For speculation sake. I'd love to get both Shattenkirk and Oshie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Please Agreed. Would be awesome. Maybe those club-footed neanderthals want some speed up front? Helm? Of course Eklund also say Wings and Kings bidding on Oduya. Which is not nearly as exciting. Well he speculates based on team needs so none of his rumors seem that ludicrous, but anything he says is no more legit than what you would read from posters on this forum He had been yaking about Kessel going to Pittsburgh for at least the last week. Also, he had Martin going to either San Jose or LA. Maybe his sources are getting better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Nyquist is untouchable... If anything Mantha or AA would be the forward and they wouldn't want any of our defenseman I don't think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 He's a good dman but I don't think he's one of the upper dmen of the league Would hate to pay the price it would take to land him .. So I'd pass Nyquist+Smith for Shattenkirk? Seriously doubt that's all it would cost Nyquist is untouchable... If anything Mantha or AA would be the forward and they wouldn't want any of our defenseman I don't think. Mantha might be included but they'd also want a nyquist + ... They wanna win now , change up the team ... They won't just take prospects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Nyquist+Smith for Shattenkirk? Eklund's now saying Oilers are in on Shattenkirk "per multiple sources" If this crap is anywhere near true, I doubt Holland can outbid Chiarelli.

I can see Eberle getting moved. Hall probably not and the rest of their squad isn't really going to help them win now. I doubt St. Louis is going to trade a guy like Shattenkirk for future players the way their set up so close to being able to win it all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 They don't need wingers they need a true number one center and speed to win now, they will need a Mantha/AA in a few years when they are no longer stacked they also need a goalie.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Blues need a goalie like Crawford. Makes the big saves when they need it but is okay when untested for the majority of the game. This is Howard's weakness. If he's not getting action chances are he'll give up some untimely, bad goals. But on the other hand he can be phenomenal when we're being badly outplayed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Detroit needs to go ahead and outbid for Green and Franson. Deal with the logjam come October. Waive Q and K, trade Smith, whatever. I am ******* sick of always watching these teams getting better, trying things, making ballsy moves and Holland standing pat. I get it, kids, I know, but damn it, you can have the kids next season when you once again have some open spots. You are not going to be able to keep all 4 anyhow. Not with E and Kronner signed forever. You are keeping Danny D for sure. Sign Green and Franson to that group and then you are instantly better. Hell, trade Jensen and Sproul also when the time comes. I love the lore of the streak, but Dats and Z aren't getting any younger, they don't have time to wait for these kids to become regulars. By time any if these 4 kids become regular players, Dats will be retired and Z will have half a back left. Just do it. 1 WingsAlways reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
