Samson's Flow Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 eklund just let out another post, and as usual he threw out another VERY CLOSE player that the sabres are going to acquire. this time its Kevyn Adams, who we would get from Pheonix for undisclosed in return. im guessing a pick or a prospect... And the Sabres are EXTREMELY close to acquiring Kevyn Adams. One source has told me that he believes the deal could go down in the next day or so.

Orange Seats Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 BREAKING - My sources tell me that the Sabres are VERY CLOSE to re-signing Dominik Hasek in a deal for Biron. What? It seems like anyone with access to the web can make credible claims about the Sabres signing nearly anyone? Why not me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJeff215 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Rumor has it that the Sabres have signed Doug Flutie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Rumor has it that the Sabres have signed Doug Flutie. Screw Doug, lets get Darren, his soon to be CFL Hall of Fame brother I'd take the Biron for Hasek deal, and as long as he's healthy, I'd be rotating Hasek and Miller for the rest of the season and playoffs. The old man still has it. As for Eklund, he always says teams are VERY CLOSE and yet nothing happens, So far he has the Sabres VERY CLOSE to getting Roberts, Belfour, Adams, and Fedetenko and yet he hasn't named anyone going the other way. I believe at one point he also said it was a done deal of Belfour/Bertuzzi to Buffalo, right after Darcy sayd they would only be able to trade salary for salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 i want to see razer sign on for the stretch run. Who are we going to sign for "On the ice with Rob Ray". Maybe we can just keep him miked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock DJ Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I heard the Kevyn Adams rumor originally came out of Phoenix. Don't know if that's true, and just too lazy to look it up. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have to admit my ignorance. Who or what is Eklund? How come there's never any mention of who his sources are? If he wants to protect his sources, who might want to remain anonymous, he could say "mid-level front office person," "player agent," "teammate," "figment of my imagination" or whatever. Without that, it seems very shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that, it seems very shady. Ye ask and ye shall recieveth :lol: Though I promised that I would protect his anonymity if he identified himself, Eklund steadfastly refused to give me anymore information to see if his story checked out -- and that included referring me to anyone else inside the industry who might confim what he had to say. #%^$#!ing pudsniffer. I hate this full of BS loser. This one is better yet This is a new site for me and this Eklund guy is apparently much like Homer Simpson's Mr. X. He has tonnes of rumours and usually they are wrong Perfect. Fun with Ekland Who is Eklund? Well, he was outted last year by the NY Post?s Larry Brooks, and named as Dwayne Keith Klessel. I was reminded of this today, reading the comments on this Kukla?s Korner posting. But here is some more info on Dwayne The Man. First, I believe he drops the Klessel and just goes by ?Dwayne Keith?. And I?m pretty sure these are photos of him. Plus, here?s an interview his band did with Billboard in 1997. (He says he played street hockey, so perhaps that explains the ?nhl insider? status?! Kidding, I kid?) Finally, here are the online message forums for his band site, so maybe you should all say ?hi!? Maybe he?ll let you in on his next ?scoop?? His bands website Will somone pay me do this this kinda crap? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Dwayne Keith Klessel? If the hockey rumor thing falls through, he can always fall back on presidential assassin.

So are most people when they throw out names and teams blindly I would seriously like to see a track record for this guy as to how many of his "inside scoops" have actually happened. I heard he has had 2 correct so far, out of how many? If this guy is over 10% I would be surprised If this guy was credible, he'd be right more then he was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogie Oglethorpe Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Most of the info he reports are preliminary talks and he reports them all. Not all negotiations lead to a final deal. I don't think it reflects what he reports. Example: Darcy calls Jacques Martin to discuss availabilty of Belfour and Roberts. Eklund hears from a source outside of the negotiation who has access to some of the info. He reports it. As he hears more chatter from other sources with stronger ties, the probability of deal becomes larger. Some deals go through and some fall off the table. Also, it's all for fun. You guys take this way to serious. He reports rumors based on source information. It's not like he sits there and offers up the Andrew Peters for Sidney Crosby trade that the average fan seems to think can actually happen.

shrader Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 If by "source information" you mean "random names pulled out of his ass' then yes, you're right. Take it too seriously? Look at all the threads started from this guys "sources" in the last few days. It's annoying and that doesn't even get into the fact that these thread titles are beyond misleading.
