When was the last time Friedman actually had something? He has been nothing but click bait since moving to SN.
True. But I wonder why that is, that TSN insiders are so much better than Sportsnet insiders???

I’m not fat. I’m cultivating mass.
Obviously it sounds like something big is in the works but these things can end up going nowhere fast. For every trade that's consummated there are 5 that fell through. The way that dick in Vegas works, Dorian would be wise to maximize Chevy for all he's worth and then give Vegas a call. That clown shoe is hot and horny to screw us at every turn.

Lemieux was only equivalent to a late 1st if Adrian Kempe was equivalent to an early 2nd.
Added Armia who was tossed away for a little bit of short term cap relief and Dano who can't make Mau's lineup. So what?
How the Jets or Moose played has nothing to do with it, unless a player the were looking at s*** the bed.

But then we would have had to give Vegas something else. I didn't like that deal either but you can't just ignore the fact that we had to give up something. If you compare our trade down to what every team lost we did well.

Do you remember how many years ( yes years ) it took Chevy to make a player for player trade.
He’s not a closer. He’s cautious to a fault , which is actually a good thing, but it does mean there is a very good chance nothing happens.
man people over react on rumors. not saying you though. if we get stone its just as a rental and nothing else. these long term contract take time to develop. even these small rental deals take time. why would the jets want a signed stone. its ridiculous. a signed stone raises his value. why would the team want to overpay for him. just like on the main boards people saying we should trade laine for a signed stone. no grasp of the fact that the price for stone as a rental compared to what you could get for laine on the open market is about 3 or 4 fold. only if chevy was a complete moron should he trade for a signed stone.
They scouted the Jets, Avs, Moose, Wolves and Milwaukee. Seems like an efficient use of time.
He is a closer if he's determined to make that deal. He's also a schrewd negotiatior.
Yes I remember all the years he never made trades, and that's because we were in a draft and development mode.
A signed Stone, only raises his value slightly if he is signing for the intention of making the trade happen. It is not like Stone is signing with Ottawa saying now do what you please with me.
...reminding us that late 1sts aren't worth as much as many seem to think.

Just a guess, SN pressures them to do or say whatever will attract the most eyeballs in the least time.

Then we use the higher pick for ...... a C? This draft class is strong at C, weak at D, IIRC.

So TSN cares about credibility. Sportsnet is just about ratings and clickbait. That actually makes sense.

Close browser. Go watch TV with wife.
Not kidding. If Eklund says it, it is not happening.
couldn't disagree more. a signed stone is way more expensive to the jets then a rental stone. a signed stone could cost us laine. a rental stone would cost us a 1st a prospect and maybe a position player. then if you wanted to trade laine in the summer you would get way more then what you just paid for stone. jets would have no interest in a signed stone whatsoever.
