Daniel Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Jeez, and just because I can't sleep I'll add that the reports say Atlanta's looking for a top prospect, a player with an immediate impact and a pick. Oduya, Bergfors and a pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oduya, Bergfors and a pick? Oduya, Bergfors, Palmieri and a 1. but the word was "centering around" so there might be more or something to be hammered out.

Devils Pride 26 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 whos the guy on twitter that breaks all the news? this year hes been the first most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickwall30 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 whos the guy on twitter that breaks all the news? this year hes been the first most of the time. Darren Dreger is the one that's been getting almost everything right and first this year. Though he has been strangely quiet on the Kovie business. Bob Mckenzie has been the big man reporting so far (as far as credible sources go), but as he himself has said in his blog if anyone actually knows anything that Lou is thinking about step up because he doesn't. He is the most active among the big reporters on this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils26 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Here's why I'm starting to think that this rumor could be true: In the last few years, most rumors involving the Devils were proven to be false fairly quickly. Not only is this Kovalchuk rumor still alive, it actually seems to be gaining steam as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devils26 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 To qualify that, however, I'm not about to say that I 100% believe the deal will take place; only that it's a legitimate possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeeter Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Is that guy credible? He knows some players. He said we signed Peters two weeks before it was announced and said the Rags would sign Brashear and that happened. Those are two pretty weird things to predict if you're just pulling things out of your @ss. He also nailed a major deal the Rangers made in the last year. He's now saying Devil players are texting each other like mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Pride 26 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 when was the last time the devils were in a rumor this big, for this long?... Souray. and we all know how that ended. just trying to stay sane. AHHHHHHHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Oh I'm sure Lou got wind of all this and pulled the plug. It will end up being a 5th rounder for Salmela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils26 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 when was the last time the devils were in a rumor this big, for this long?... Souray. and we all know how that ended. just trying to stay sane. AHHHHHHHH Wasn't it only one night where it was announced that the Devils had actually signed Souray? And wasn't it just some random website reporting that he had signed? It seems like this Kovalchuk rumor has lasted longer and with more credible sources.

And wasn't it just some random website reporting that he had signed? It seems like this Kovalchuk rumor has lasted longer and with more credible sources. iirc, nhlline.ca reported for almost 4 DAYS that souray to nj was a done deal... yes, this potential trade has a lot more backing. scouts being at our last two games and a lowell game? pretty incrdible. considering vasyunov, eckford, halischuk all got scratched. all the signs point to kovy to nj and words cannot describe how awesome that would be. someone at hf (who also posts here, i think. maybe mp?) suggested the longer this goes on for the less likely it becomes, which i agree with.

I think that because the offer isn't that good, and we could be the middle man in a chicken game between ATL/LA... it doesn't meet Waddell's need to keep them in it this year. Bergfors is gassed, Palmieri is a greenhorn and Oduya is Oduya. but it could be that something else is involved. the noise is getting louder, or Bob McKenzie is fvcking with us. either way. reminds me of Gilmour in that something that seemed like a joke built up steam...

ThreeCups Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I hope we are not being used as a pawn to jack up the price on Kovalchuk. If we get Kovalchuk I will absolutely love him. If we do not, I will just get disgusted looking at him in the future, knowing that we WERE in play to get him at one point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
