[McDavidbowie]

Not sure how legit this is but he doesn't normally tweet NHL stuff it seems.

Never heard of the guy.

Some nfl guy is breaking hockey trades?

Never heard of the guy.

According to Wikipedia he is an infamous safe cracker, so I am not sure I'd trust him.

Jimmy Valentine is the alias of an infamous safe cracker who has just been sentenced to prison for four years for his crimes. He does not stay locked up for long, though, as he is released after ten months. When he is released, he packs his state of the art, custom robbery tools and commits several more robberies. Ben Price, the detective who put him away the first time is called to the case, but although he knows it is Jimmy (because of the style the crimes were committed with) he cannot find him. Jimmy has actually fled and he is currently in the small town of Elmore, Arkansas, with plans to rob the local bank there

Well, Bob McKenzie posted something basketball-related.




Worlds are colliding!!!!!

Omg if this nfl guy scoops a Barrie trade lollllll

 

[Adam Michaels]

Would be a good move for EDM. Don't really know Avs needs, but maybe RNH is part of the deal? If there's any truth to this.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Hardly seems credible enough if the person doesn't even tweet hockey 99% of the time.

Didn't that Boomer Esiason guy scoop the Callahan for St Louis trade days before it happened?

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Don't need RNH.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

What would COL want for Barrie? Cheap Roster players? Draisaitl, Nurse?

I can't think of much that wouldn't hurt.

 

[Why]

doesn't seem very legit, but why would a nfl guy tweet this out???? He hear something or pure trolling?? Interesting either way

 

[do0glas]

Didn't this all start by Barrie's rumored contract demands?

If that's the case and avs don't want to pay it. They may not get full value

You're killing independent George!

 

[hockeykicker]

This is not a real source

 

[Why]

If, and a big if, if this is legit, would they rather D coming back? Really don't want to part with Nuge and don't see Col needing another C. Unless they have another deal in place where they might be flipping a c for Trouba

 

[Avs44]

Could be legit, could be someone just jumping on top of all the speculation and hoping they get something right. Doesn't seem like a source we should believe, even if something does go down.

Didn't that Boomer Esiason guy scoop the Callahan for St Louis trade days before it happened?

Well to be fair, he's a former NFL MVP, popular NY sports radio host and a huge Ranger fan with inside ties to the team. He's kinda plugged in

 

[Mighty Makar]

Nuge and Nurse or Nuge and '17 1st for Barrie.

 

[belair]

I believe this guy more than I believe Eklund.

Nuge and Nurse or Nuge and '17 1st for Barrie.

No.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Looking at their depth chart they could probably use Eberle, but I can't see the value being there and it would leave a hole on their blueline. This one just sounds weird. Eberle and our 1st maybe?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I don't know if I can believe anything told to me by a guy named Jimmy Valentine.

Sounds like a shady bookie.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

That tweet is from like 30 hours ago.

 

[Rebuilt]

Not sure how legit this is but he doesn't normally tweet NHL stuff it seems.

Not bad for a guy who hasnt tweeted in SEVEN MONTHS and its not his sport.

Avs need to re sign Barrie for his 8 mil per year so we dont have to deal with Avs fans trying desperately to pawn him off on other teams.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

avs would want Drai for barrie. definitely dont want rnh
