Speculation: Free Agent Frenzy Part III - Will EK stay or will EK go?

[GoAwayPanarin]

Was that ever confirmed? All I remember hearing was from Dave Maloney that they had a deal in place for the 4th pick to draft Keller if CBJ drafted Poolparty

I remember hearing it was going to be Hall+#4 for McD.

They had a deal in place with Arizona for Stepan too, which ended up happening a year later

Uh, what. Where?

Uh, what. Where?

I think Freidman had it in his 31 thoughts, I could be mistaken though but I know I saw it somewhere from someone reputable.

RB, a little help here?

I don’t get this, can he walk if he sits out until December 1, 2018? December 1, 2019??

If he isn't signed by December 1st, he can walk away from his contract but can't play in the NHL for the remainder of that season. I can't remember a single case of that ever happening in the NHL though

Draisaitl and 4th was for Subban. There was no deal for McDonagh that draft.

It was just Brooks spewing his usual nonsense

 

[Irishguy42]

Only ever recall seeing what Maloney said, which was that Rangers had a deal for #4 in place that fell through.

McDonagh makes sense in that context.

Hall though? Wew. Imagine this team with Hall and Keller.

There sure was.

How else were they going to get the #4 OA? This has been confirmed by both Maloney and Freidman/Marek. Once the Jackets picked PLD, that deal fell apart.

Montreal had honed in on Weber from the start.
