The only reason maybe Forsberg is a trade, is that the Flyers have to dump salary to make room for him?

and the rumor is for Gagne but that Gagne is traded away to clear cap room to sign Forsberg. I still think he got hacked

Hahaha, that is ridiculous (him getting hacked). When he copy-pasted a CNN story and then deleted it, everyone in the chat claimed he got hacked (clearly he didn't since he never again mentioned it).

If you read his site, you do have to take it with just a grain of salt. As long as you do that, you can get some idea of what kind of teams are at least looking at certain players.

It's almost...almost enough to make me wish for a lockout every other year. Some people were saying they should just blow up the league and have a redraft. This is the closest thing to it. All of these transactions have been incredibly fun to watch.

ah, I think I get it.
sign Forsberg, trade Gagne.

I was just thinking today that I'd probably by a Forsberg jersey depending on where he ends up. But there's no way in HELL I would ever wear a Flyers jersey.

btw, Forsberg to Philadelphia is funny in so many ways. They going to try to get Mike Ricci and Chris Simon too?

I have no doubt that Eklund has legit sources, but I expect many of them will be feeding him information which is designed to help their own causes

I'm a Leafs fan and the fact they've done nothing isn't bothering me... I'm loving that all the "small" teams are getting some big name guys, it's good for the game!!

As a Ranger fan, I do not want to see Forsberg on the team. That's all due to him being my most hated player (maybe a close second to Bryan Marchment).

it's a plurality then. All two Ranger fans don't want him. Guess we'll keep him.

Roenick (like Modano) would be another good fit for the Kings.

You laugh now, but when you are watching the Leafs lose night after night, you'll be thankful there's a extra beer vendor around.

And...you're supposed to tip beer vendors?!? No wonder my beer tastes like piss by the 3rd period.

I like the deal.....Flyers are better with Roenick and Gagne rather than a broken down Forsberg who may go home after 1 season.

JEEZ, this is like a fantasy draft, but with real players and teams. It's ridiculous! Good fun though.

With the Devils would sign someone though .

Good job by Eklund, breaking the story 15 minutes before it was announced.

Any word on Leetch to the Wings, Ek?

I hear there is a rumor coming out of Vancouver that the Canucks have signed Hamrlik. No idea if there is any truth to it.

I agree (although I would have rather seen Blake go than Foppa).
still sucks to see him with the fucking Flyers.

Toronto, I could handle. Vancouver I could handle. Not Philadelphia, and not for a measly $5 M
