The Habs were never taking Matty T, they were going to see if PLD dropped to 4th then make that move

We've officially entered the realm of aggregator sites copying other aggregators sites and claiming it as real rumour......

I'm not even joking when I say that soon, they will be copying trade ideas made on CF and portraying them as "Huge rumour just revealed!!!".

This has to stop and we need to stop feeding it.

These are not rumors. Oilers backed down and HABS turned around and traded for Weber. HABS targeted LD but Oilers backed out at the last second when it was all agreed

This rumored deal is well known in Edmonton. The exact details are a little fuzzy but 100% Chiarelli was looking at trading Draisaitl + the 4OA for PK Subban. He ended up checking down to Hall-for-Larsson instead. Ironically I think it was the fact that Puljujarvi fell to #4 that killed the deal. 🤯

Edmonton could have had several Cups by now but for Chiarelli.

Columbus also pretty thoroughly killed the deal when they shocked everyone by taking Dubois.

Dude. The Top Shelf Hockey guy on YouTube does this all the time. He even makes it the headline of the video with thumbnail jersey photoshops and everything. Then he yammers on about it for like 8 minutes to extend the video runtime without ever actually giving any real info. It's pathetic.

This would have been such a game changer for us. Draisaitl instead of Drouin…
