Eklund says if the Islanders draft Hedman then Tavares to Nashville 95%

[Randall Graves*]

Can someone explain to me why TBL wouldn't want Tavares? after they trade Vinny they can market around JT and Stamkos, this is all a bunch of hot air..

[John Torturella]

95%? This guy is a bafoon. He always leaves the door open.

I figured some sort of prospect should be included in that package, and since TB has plenty of young, unproven D, I thought that prospect should be a forward. Mark Santorelli has grown out of favor in Nashville I suspect by your comment but some GMs might still value him. He had impressive numbers in juniors and just hasn't been able to translate that onto the big show yet. He's really just a throw-in anyway. This whole trade is a throw-in. In fact, I'm ready to throw in the towel. Why am I speculating over an Eklund rumor? June 26th couldn't come soon enough.

What is that sign next to the 95, some type of currency I suppose. Can someone convert this to an "e" rating so I can make some sense of the probability of this being true?

.....
ok i'll play along... i don't know why but I will
Jon Blum + Dan Hamhuis + Patric Hornqvist +1st 09 + 2nd 09 + 2nd 10 + rights to rads
to much if u ask me.. + were a def team first and this kill the back end... + always gonna wonder if jt is happy in one of the smallest hockey markets

see me my self I think were ok at center.. if we make a push for anyone I want MPS or hey lets see if we can get Jordan Schroeder maybe at #11....

I'm banking on the 5% to happen.

Let me simplify Eklund's E# ratings for the un-initiated.

E1 - Source is completely imaginary. Trade/signing has no basis in reality or logic.

E2 - Source is one HFBoards member. Trade/signing has no basis in reality or logic.

E3 - Source is one HFBoards member and Eklund's dog. Trade/signing has no basis in reality or logic.

E4 - Source is several HFBoards threads and perhaps one uncredited blog.

E5 - Eklund "breaks the news" after reading it on TSN.
