The trade rumors stalking Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson are not going to go away until he is re-signed. No matter how tired the GM, OEL, the fans or even the local media are of hearing them.
Yesterday a new wrinkle was added to the rumors when Hockey Central at Noon panelist Nick Kypreos said on the show “[The Coyotes] priority is making payroll not re-signing Oliver Ekman-Larsson.” Kypreos went on to say that there are financial troubles for the organization solely owned by Andrew Barroway.
Very little is truly known about Barroway’s net worth, Forbes reports it as $50 million, though it always seems like millionaires are able to find legal ways to get around reporting all their income to such sites.
