Lol remember when Eklund would make public appearances in disguises like anyone gave a shit about his identity? Those were the days.
At the 2007 NHL Trade Deadline, Eklund appeared on the Sportsnet broadcast, and he was shot in silhouette, like a mob informant. It looked ridiculous, but the best part was, they went to Eklund and he revealed that according to his sources, Ryan Smyth, one of the biggest trade chips of the deadline, was off the market because he was about to sign a last-minute deal to stay with the Oilers.
They interrupted his "report" with "Breaking news" and the breaking news was Ryan Smyth had been traded to the New York Islanders. They didn't go back to Eklund for the rest of the broadcast after that.
