Its silly season

I've been beating the ekholm drumm since klef was sidelined. I'm not big on this deal personally but I'm a big fan of the target really feels like a Holland type of pick up an aged d that many consider to be past his prime and overpaid but manages to fill a much needed void nearly flawlessly. I'd go in this direction over Karlsson personally.

Question with this scenario is who takes Broberg for nothing when he's waived, Columbus or Anaheim

Desharnais would have to be sent down cause he doesn't require waivers but if Broberg stays you're over the cap.

"Nash has come out and said they’d be willing to move Jeannot because they’re worried about his arb case"

Have you got a source on this? If this were true, it would definitely be a major topic of discussion amongst Preds media, but I haven't heard a peep about it.

I don't know how worried NSH could be about arbitration - they'll have months of negotiation time before Jeannot could go that route. I don't know how favourable a negotiator would be to Jeannot anyway, given the down season he's having.

As for the trade itself - NSH declines.

Really? Are you sure we decline? I think he needs to add a few more cap dumps before we can make our decision.
