A Jaeckel!! Jaeckel!! Its a Jaeckel!! It looks like a Jaeckle!!! Jaeckle!!! Jaeckle!! It looks like a Jaeckle!!! Is it a Jaeckle?!!

TIME!

Watch a deal happen now.

Of course Ottawa and Chicago are talking - I'm sure GM's talk to each other all the time. But given the history between the two teams (Bochenski-Aranason, Havlat, Lapointe) I can imagine something could transpire.

Good Lord those are awful memories. We should block Chicago's number.

With this source, you scoured the earth and hit rock-bottom.

scoured the earth and wound up in a steaming pile of cow dung, hidden in a prison sewer, surrounded by fats guys eating beans and hotfudge sundaes, barfing when they get too full and blasting farts that keep even the maggots away.

A hell of a lot more than Picard and Shannon, methinks.

Different GM though in Chicago though. I think personal relationships factor into this.

Well, at least there are no maggots.

Don't tell me I don't scour the earth for these rumours. :lll:



SenShot has learned that General Manager Bryan Murray has held talks with Chicago Blackhawks General Manager Stan Bowman. It is unknown if the talks mean something but it may be linked to something big. The blackhawks are set to re-sign Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and Duncan Keith to long-term contracts. This mean they have to move some bodies out if they can get under the slaary cap for next year. Rumors are saying it may be Brent Seabrook or Cam Barker. Soem are even suggestign Patrick Sharp could be on the market. I would believe Cam Barker is on Murray’s interest list because he’s the goal-scoring defenseman Ottawa desperately needs.

The return is muddy, but you would think Zee Dictator Murray would likely want to give up Alexandre Picard or Chris Campoli. Barker’s salary is approximately 3.1 mil. If you package Picard (800 K) and maybe Ryan Shannon (700 K) with some sort of draft pick, I think you’ve got a deal.

Remember, the details are sketchy, but this is what’s happening now. Let’s hope this turns out into something.


I'll tell you what's sketchy...this rumour.

Sounds like its written by that guy who wants Cole sooooo bad.

@Spez> then why did you post this?

The GMH members have already covered this subject, and much more intelligently.

Because I found a link to it on HF, posted the link and let anyone who wants to comment on it, comment on it. If you've covered the subject, then you don't need to be here. It's for people on this forum to read what other people are saying and take it as they value it. This is 'some dude', who cares? So is SensChirp, he's just got a track record.

What if I don't post it, then tomorrow something happens? That's part of the fun of it to me, to try to hear as many rumours as possible and decide if they have merit - or just for fun because it means that maybe two GMs are talking.

People will find rumours, post links and talk until the cows come home on every sports forum in the world. Rumours interest us and again, it's up to the intelligent readers here to decide whether they want to comment on the ones that people dig up and post here.

That's why Dave.

@Spez> I'm not talking about whether or not I covered it.

I'm talking about the evident lack of quality of the piece itself.

GMH members are intelligent, discerning hockey fans. They come here because it's a superior forum.

But hey, if you want to post this stuff, it's your call, my friend.

It's really just for conversation most times. I would say a good 80% of rumours are fact-less, maybe more, but if it concerns the Sens, we usually still slap it up here on the forum.

It's so easy for people to navigate these threads - just click in and out - that if I find something even semi-interesting, I'll usually post it.

We're being to hard on SD here. His intentions were good.

I think we're all a little testy given the agony of going through all the _______ rumours.

I have no issue with bloggers, and Spez-D's good intentions, but my point was that GMH aspires to be a cut above because it is in principle more selective about what it posts as leads for threads.

Otherwise every so-called 'rumour'--like those of the infamous 'Eklund'--would attain credibility by being repeated over and over.

The Ottawa-Chicago 'talks'--if there are any--have been brought up by previous sources and covered by GMH posters, so this particular item adds nothing new; and the quality of that post in terms of writing, is well below GMH standards.

But, as I said, if Spez-D wants to post these, he, as a Founder, is exercising his prerogative.

Maybe what Dave is saying, is that we need a "humour" forum, and then this one could go in there.

While I believe Chicago and Ottawa may be talking trade, I doubt these are the players involved.

Also, I heard mention on the "round table" that Fabian Brunnström is being shöpped. Might be a nice fit on the left side of Fisher and Kovalev?

Actually, Fabulous Fabian is "shopped out". Too much time in those huge malls in Dallas.
