That Aud Smell Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Tkachuk being presumed gone from Calgary helps this deal make sense. Otherwise, imbalanced. Just now, Shootica said: Now which one of them you trust more is a whole nother story. They can both be trusted to accurately relate what their sources are telling them. The matter of how reliable the sources are is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 2 minutes ago, Shootica said: Friedman absolutely said that he was getting a lot of pushback on the Weekes tweet. Said that he would never disparage another reporter but he made it clear that none of his sources were echoing what Weekes said. This was on Tim & Friends shortly after the tweet. Now which one of them you trust more is a whole nother story. Good to know. Hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, LGR4GM said: So Tkachuk A former 1st rounder that's not still a prospect, that could be Zadorov 2 prospects, zary or coronato AND something like Pelletier A 2023 1st That's a trade right there. Yes, that is a trade for sure. Tkachuk may not be around long but him as a 5th piece gives them cap room for Eichel. Fun fact - Walt Tkachuk, uncle of Keith, played 5 games for the Buffalo Bisons in 1968-69. Edited November 4, 2021 by Pimlach 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 What a gongshow. Brisson pressing hard in the media... that deal reported by Weekes is simply bait for Vegas to up their offer. Well played by Brisson if it works, but I don't believe for a second there is any truth to it, LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I will say that the past two days have certainly restored fan base hopes that they may actually be able to get a return for broken Eichel that approaches what we might have received for a healthy Eichel. Hasn't history taught us that we should all be bracing for some crushing disappointment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 23 minutes ago, Let's Go B-Lo said: Another fun fact, Keith Tkachuk was drafted by the pick originally held by the Sabres but swapped with the Jets in the Housley/Hawerchuk trade. The Sabres moved up to the 14 spot and took Brad May. The Jets dropped back to 19 and took Tkachuk. Oops. I have been saying for years that the Sabres' player development at the time was so bad, I assume that if the Sabres had drafted Tkachuk and the Jets got May, then NHL fans everywhere would now be wondering why we passed on May to get Tkachuk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 So Weeks and Adams are former teammates. Wonder is Kevyn is using his old buddy for a little information manipulation. https://twitter.com/kevinweekes/status/1456011287444410369?s=21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
