Hockey Buzz is trash and you should ignore it

Created by: Kyle_Davidson
Team: 2019-20 Chicago Blackhawks
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 26, 2019
Published: Aug. 26, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
My sources indicate that the hawks are close to acquiring a (C) Connor McDavid from the Edmonton Oilers for a conditional 2nd round pick.

The conditional 2nd round pick will only be transferred to EDM if McDavid scores 130+ points this season.

Im also hearing that McDavid is coming with 50% retention on his contract & Brent Seabrook will make his way onto LTIR indefinitely.






See anyone can make this stuff up.
Trades
CHI
  1. Hoffman, Mike
Additional Details:
1st round pick. going to Florida is conditional... the hawks can move the pick to 2021 if they would like.
FLA
  1. Beaudin, Nicolas
  2. Kurashev, Philipp
  3. Seabrook, Brent
  4. 2020 1st round pick (CHI)
  5. 2022 2nd round pick (CHI)
Additional Details:
Hoffmans next contract could very quickly become an albatross if they hawks were to give him the money he wants. I would have a hard time committing long term to an aging player who had a career year last season (At the time of this post).

I have never trusted anything Eklund has ever said (given that less than 1% of it is true), but we're in peak offseason. Time to latch on to anything and everything to make another post on this god forsaken site.

What’s the rumour? Obviously anyone can cite phantom sources, but the weight a rumour has depends on the person relaying the info.

Eklund sucks. He has his email and phone number public on his twitter account. I’ve fed him bull**** that he’s then taken and posted on HockeyBuzz before. Absolute garbage.

Oh Jesus. Lol. “Claimed he will be starting the season with them”. His reporting seems to be more TMZ-like than actual reporting. I saw the tweet from the Norwegian team, but as they have no part in contract talks, they simply said they have his number available for the season and for the Avs to take their time.

The “better than 50%” talk is pure garbage too. Sounds like something a reporter would ask a “source” so they can quantify it and add hype to their rumours.

"The chances of Hoffman landing in Chicago [on the Panthers' team plane, if they have a road game in Chicago this year, which I haven't googled yet, but maybe? And if not, I mean, maybe they'll stop off there to refuel on the way to Vancouver or LA or something?] are better than 50% [because sure, he's getting old, but even if he's injured, they're still gonna let him ride the team plane, right? It doesn't cost any more gas, I don't think, and Hoffman seems like the kind of guy who really likes airplanes]."

He is just trying to generate traffic to his site. More hits the more valuable it is to advertisers. I had no idea who he even was before the Risto for Mantha lie he published.

How to generate hits:
1. Go to Capfriendly.com
2. Look for trades that have a lot of comments or trades with lots of arguing.
3. Make up rumor post it
4. Make sure capfriendly users see it.

Still waiting on that Mantha/Risto 5 player trade....hahahaahhaha

Eklund is smarter than us. He writes fantasy stories that people buy into and go to his site everyday to hear. Even the people that hate him visit to read real hockey bloggers.

Exactly why I placed him in the same league as TMZ. People go there for the fantastical rumours. It’s kinda like hearing about a non-fatal crash/accident near your place. You know it’s sad, but you may still go out of your way to rubberneck at the wreckage.

Easy no from the panthers. You’re talking about giving away big contracts to aging players hoffman is 28 where Chicago hands out 6 mil to players over 33. To send back seabrook it will have to be 50% retention or boqvist with him.

I think the panthers need a LHD prospect more than they need Boqvist and Seabrook to clog up the right side. Anyways, this post was not meant to be realistic and more of a sh*tpost about hockeybuzz.

Lol understandable. But the panthers left side isn’t terrible. Yandle just needs a defensive dman to play with. And Matheson just had a super ****ty season I think he’ll bounce back last year he tore up the world championships and his season took a **** once he choke slammed petterson. I think coach q will help his game considerably.
