Is TFP even reliable for breaking trades?

Nope

In b4 Jim Benning surprises by giving up a 1st for him and says that its playoff time

No. I don't deny that they have sources, but they're way further down the line, and usually only confirm after Bob McKenzie has a 6-tweet thread going.

I was thinking the same thing but with Ken Holland.

 

[TT1]

Pretty sure he's traded to MTL for McCarron+2nd+Pateryn.

Or McCarron+1st.

that would be beyond terrible

 

[GarfSnowed]

 

[TT1]

yea, so do we, doesnt mean much. you know as much as HF posters!

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Perfect fit for the Oilers 3rd line C..

 

[YourAverageFan*]

He'll be a really nice add wherever he goes. Would be an excellent #3C on a Contender

 

[Positive Vibes]

reporters have said he wouldnt make it through the weekend without being traded, i really doubt itll be to the Habs, i just dont see it as much as we need some help at C i dont see him being the guy to do that.

 

[uncleben]

To be fair 1)No one on HF got that rumour first hand. We got it from other people who are insiders, and this guy is much more of an insider than anyone here so we really can't be proud because some of us here on HF have heard the rumour before
2) His tweet was directed at a general audience, who statistically speaking does not browse HFboards and may not have heard of rumours dating back to November.

So Chayka gives up the 2 best pieces in the deal?



I somewhat doubt it....

 

[dropdeadjoey]

If Montreal gets Hanzal and Duclair for Plekanec, Desharnais and Pateryn, I'll rep a Canadiens avatar the whole playoffs.

Remember the John Scott deal??

 

[DJB]

4th period is not a reliable source

 

[bbfan419]

Arizona was asking a lot more than most on here are saying, my bet if it is Montreal it will be Hanzal and a depth D for one of Pateryn or Desharnais along with McCarron, 2017 1st and one of the habs 2018 2nd rd picks they have 3 of them. That would trump most offers from competitors I would say.

Considering that it's pretty much a rental 3C for two firsts and a second? Yeah I imagine it would beat most offers.

 

[SniperHF]

Well I guess we have an easy way of figuring out if he knows what he's talking about or not

 

[Meeqs]

I have a feeling it's with Ottawa.

That is my guess.

 

[Super Cake]

Who wants to bet that if there is no deal, he will just say something along the lines of " Well i heard there was a deal, but it fell through" or something close to that.

 

[ffh]

any sort of deal coming and he would not play.

 

[dahrougem2]

I bet it's to Ottawa and the Coyotes are paying the Senators with a 1st round pick in order to take Hanzal because Ottawa's loaded with superstars. At least according to Eugene.

 

[Mad Brills*]

TFP isn't a nobody, but they aren't reliable.

Let's see where this goes.

 

[greengoblin]

Pagnotta is as credible as Jimmy Muprhy, Datar and Eklund. Now I can't remember when it was, a few years ago when Pagnotta said a certain dman was going to be a scratch and he ended up playing. Believe it was a Leafs player. As one poster said, once Mckenzie or Dreger post the trade, he will post it seconds later. He has no sources.
