Many names have been speculated on various websites, but I am still not comfortable enough to say any or some of those names are correct. I am actually hearing some really big names involved, but I need further confirmation from sources closer to the scene to be certain. The Red Wings are waiting on Biron, according to my sources. I hope this works out for Biron. He could be very dangerous in Motown, and the guy was a great soldier last year for the Sabres. Biron could put the Wings right back in the thick of things in my opinion. There is however "no way" that deal will go down until Miller signs long-term, and the Sabres have other pressing issues right now. I am hearing that they will accept Briere's rulling shortly? Rumors are very strong that Brian Boucher, a really under-rated UFA, could find a home with the Sabres as Miller's backup and mentor. Two USA goalies with great attitudes.

apuszczalowski Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Does this Ekland fellow have any credibility? No, not from what I hear Although, I can see the Sabres holding on to Biron until they resolve Millers contract, but the key is, will the wings keep waiting or make a move to resolvce their goaltending issue sooner? Boucher would not be a bad backup in Buffalo either, but these are all Eklund rumors so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 He does have some credibility in my opinion ... not on trade rumors so much, but so far he has been almost dead on with arbitration award numbers and contract numbers before anyone else. He obviously has legit sources, I just don't believe that every rumor he throws out there is legit and coming from said sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Does this Ekland fellow have any credibility? As far as trade rumors, he is actually at the top of the list compared to other sources. He always knows which teams are talking trade, unfortunately he usually is not right about the players involved. In his defense though, I think that is a tough thing to nail down because I'm sure there are multiple proposals that happen before a trade actually goes down.

I could throw out two random team names and I'd be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blockbuster trade in the works between Nashville and Phoenix? (that still sounds like a fork on a frying pan :lol: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 "Next on Channel 2 News Sports Blockbuster trade in the works between Nashville and Phoenix No one in the league cares or is paying attention to it" Sorry, I just think that if a deal was being proposed between the 2 of them, no one would really care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
