At this point, I'm digging anything I hear, and since Eklund seems to do it for the lulz, then I dig it.

Because, really, it's all about doin' it for the lulz

I'm just saying wyohomeboy Eklund is surrounded by people who have real sources. He may overhear a thing or two.

I don't think Biron is coming back to Buffalo, I think Darcy rides out Lalime's contract.
I also don't believe Whitney is coming to Buffalo, Darcy won't give him the extension he is looking for.

It all sounds fun to speculate, but I cannot see Darcy giving up Stafford or MacArthur for a rental player, I do, however, see Darcy making a deal for someone with an existing contract.
Horton makes alot of sense, has a current contract is roughly 25 yrs old and would be the type of player Buffalo would be looking for. RWer with some tenacity.
I would say looking at Florida, Edmonton, St. Louis and Columbus as sellers, there are a number of players that may fit what the team is looking for as far as upgrades for both this season and the foreseeable future.

I know its Eklund but its still nice to hear and speculate. He mentioned Marty back to Buffalo should happen. Also that we are still in the running for Whitney. Right now Eklund may know what he's talking about as he is at the Olympics surrounded by people who are actually in the know.

In a Pigs Ass

How do you know Darcy won't give him an extension?

Why do people think this is out of the realm of possibility?

You have no idea whether or not Darcy would think it'd be a good idea to extend Whitney.

Personally, I think he would. He's playing well, he doesn't want a ridiculously long or expensive contract, and he adds veteran presence that we need.

Well PSP, I don't know, thats why, as I make that statement its proceeded by "I believe" inferring an opinion, not fact. But based on Darcy's past track record as well as what can actually be expected of a player who will no doubt decline in production as he approaches 40 yrs old. It makes no sense to spend young assests on a guy like Whitney.
