Rumor Chicago/Edmonton

[HossTheBoss]

I don't know if this guy is reputable or not, but was just going through some #Blackhawks tweets on twitter and came across this:

@InsideTheRink
#Oilers and #Blackhawks talks happening. Hjalmarsson and Gagner could be involved. Hawks and Oilers were talking during trade deadline

If this is clearing the way to sign Ryan Suter

If not

[Brian Boyle]

Is he affiliated with anything? Journalist, analyst, works for the NHL? Or is it just some random idiot trying to make a name for himself?

I don't think the Oilers make this deal. My reasoning is that there is a bigger difference between Gagner and Horcoff for the 2C position, than there is between Hjalmarsson and any of Whitney, Smid, Schultz and Petry.

His Bio says "Providing you information on all things hockey, and a primary focus on the Edmonton Oilers".

Again, I wasn't sure.. but he has quite a few tweets and 800+ followers.

Probably the last option, couldn't find much on him through Google. But i'm not 100% sure. He might be an insider, but who really knows.

HB has 15,000 followers and he is probably a fake.

I've never heard of him but maybe he's legit?

Doesn't sound like anything earth-shattering, though. Gagner for Hjarlmarsofasdfoij (pardon my spelling ) has been tossed around a few times here so maybe HF is his source?

[Brian Boyle]

Not a legitimate source, then.

Closed.
