knowing garth and co., prob wouldn't even matter..they figured they got a steal from the rags..




in all seriousness though, garth has finally got it right...serious...

lmao True. Yes, they did do something right. I was more making fun of Eklund than I was at Garth.

SEEMS LIKE A THREAT FROM A LAWYER
MAKES THE sh!t SITE TREMBLE A BIT

LISTEN PEOPLE HE NEEDS TO 'SPLAIN SOMETHING


As many of you know, the E-system is the best way I know to get the word to you about the level of my sources involvement in a rumor without giving them up. People often the E1 through E4 ratings as "likeliness to happen." While there is some correlation obviously (two people connected to a deal telling me about a rumor they should have intimate knowledge about would seem more likely to be a solid rumor than an individual not connected to the deal but hearing something, but in the end if talks actually become a deal really doesn't have anything to do with who told me about the talks.)

I set this whole system up because I found that I was getting people's hopes up and then when a deal didn't happen they would look to me for answers. As a general rule, I don't have answers as to why a deal doesn't get done. I am not involved in the actual deals themselves. What I try to do is give you a peak inside the inner workings. 99% of the time I report on simply what is being discussed. So when I say Kaberle to Vancouver (e4), what I am saying is two or more people that should know are telling me that it is being seriously discussed. By telling you this, my hope is you get some enjoyment out of having some previous knowledge and debating what you think your team should do.

However, and e5 is nothing like an E1, E2, E3, or E4....An E5 is supposed to be a done deal. For the most part, save a very few instances in the last four years, e5s have been you can "take it to the bank" deals. Over 80 e5s have been reported with 4 false positives. But remember, I can only report what I am told. So if a source tells me a deal is done and that source has always been 100% truthful, I tell you something like Alex Tanguay to Florida (e5). As I did on Thursday afternoon. My source just called and told me he was wrong. It wasn't done. At least not all parties had agreed to what he told me was done.

I can't reveal my source, nor would it do me or you any good if I told you the whole story. My source man'd up here and he has been a good source of many of the great possibilities that I have thrown out. To out him, or tell you who screwed him would do nothing but burn bridges and I didn't get her by burning bridges. So, as much as a few of you who don't respect me, might get me more were I to tell you the whole story, I would rather keep the source so I can keep reporting to the many more who do understand what the difference between rumor and fact is, and who enjoy the discussion.

But I to am going to man up here and say that I am sorry for the Tanguay to Florida e5 story. It was inaccurate. I was reporting on information that wasn't as complete as it should have been and I wasn't as thorough as I should have been. I should he double checked it at the time. I was too conviced by my source and his proximity.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He reported Tanguay to Florida? :blink:

FACE IT TANGUAY IS LIKE sh!t ON A FARM
HE'S EXPECTED EVERYWHERE

after thinking about it, i don't think i want tanguay on this team anymore unless it can be a one year deal. yes, he'd be a significant upgrade. but the fact is we're only going nuts over him because he's the only guy left. it would be a mistake to throw our limited resources at a guy just because he's there, when there'll be other free agents next year that we can target after we already have a better idea of which prospects can fill voids, and which spots need to be patched over with free agents.

What about Mats Sundin. I'm not saying we should get him, but did he sign anywhere?

AFTER LAST YEARS DRAWN OUT HUNT
WHO CARES

I still crack up at Hitler finds out canucks sign Sundin. Thats probably what actually happens at their meeting$.

"We got the better Tavares."

FINALLY
I THOUGHT WE HAD EXCLUSIVITY
ON ALL DEFECTIVE SIBLINGS

Then we signed Biron. :)
