Description

So I went through every "rumour" on hockey buzz for the flames and tried to put together trades based off these "rumours". I had to break them up, because almost all of them would have been to the Sabres otherwise. Trying to get them all done was ridiculous.

Rumours:
Backlund to Sabres or Isles
Markstrom to Devils or Sabres
Hanifin to Sabres or Bruins
Flames interested in Konecny
Dumba to Calgary
Calgary interested in Pesce
Huberdeau "very much in play" to AZ or Chicago (This was my favorite lol)

Has he ever been right about anything that wasn't already reported? Doubtfully.

1- this is what u get for believing ANYTHING u see on Hockeybuzz 🤣🤣🤣

2- i don’t see the Sabres being interested in your proposed trade- Backlund & Tanev are both solid players that could help us, but there’s no way we give up 2 young guys (especially not Krebs) for a couple “rentals”
ZERO CHANCE that trade is even close to happening

Really I don't there is much fact to those trade at all......how could anyone.
Bruins aren't taking on more cap especially on defence when their centre position is so iffy.
Huberdeau is the worse contracts in the league, and you want teams to give up anything for him?
Lot of cap going Jersey's way for no better goaltending.

1) It's pretty evident from the ACGM name and my post that I don't believe anything Eklund says.

2) After missing for 11 seasons, the sabres should be keen on taking a run at the cup. Those are two of the best shutdown players in the league for their respective positions. Maybe its not krebs, but at some point those prospects need roster spots, and next to Arizona, Buffalo has the deepest farm in the league.

The Devis could take everything out of that trade and would still pass on Markstrom for free.
