I posted this as well and wasn’t sure on package. But I really like this

Do people still listen to Eklund?

I hope this happens but with our 2023 first instead of our 2022 first

No. I just post on the message board there, so his stuff is purely for entertainment.

I figured, I just hadnt heard his name in a while so I assumed he fell off haha

Yea as you mentioned, Cooley won’t fall to #4, so it doesn’t make much sense. Arizona will take him at 3.

I saw this suggested elsewhere and commented, though that ACGM offered a much more impressive return. You're not getting Soucy, as well!

If I'm Francis, I counter by dropping Soucy and McGinn and insist on Pittsburgh's 1st Round Pick in '23 (top 5 protection) as well! Crazy, I realize! But take into account that the draft is huge for the Kraken, and if Pittsburgh wants Cooley that badly, it's worth demanding big returns if you're Seattle! Of course, this plays out more like a draft floor blockbuster . . . A scenario where Cooley DOES somehow fall to 4 OA! How bad do the Penguins want their local boy to take the reigns from Crosby one day!??!

Lastly, if I'm Francis and can't get both Pittsburgh 1st Rounders, I definitely want next year's pick instead!

Hilariously, last year or the year before, there was someone claiming to be Eklund on this site and they were as outrageous as Eklund is, so I was 95% sure it was actually him

Oh god I remember that

The forefather of having rumours or buzz in you website name to seem credible

just as bad as the nhlrumors website thats just wild (and inaccurate) speculation based on nothing

When "rumors" have "I think" or "In my opinion" or lines like that, with no credible sources attached, they really shouldn't be classified as "Rumors".

I like prohockeyrumors.com, because the only speculation that happens on there is when they put up their team outlook series, and that's less speculation and more "One of these 3 guys would likely make sense to fill this role".

Yeah, I just thought this would be a funny discussion.
