No but he should be also looking at these type of sources with a critical eye.
Again - I think if you aren't willing to put your name behind your comment than don't make it.
There's a reason though why most "sources" in the NHL are agents - they love to see their comments in print. To me a comment like this has more to do with ego than anything else.
Rob Kerr on the Fan this morning mentioned that when the Flames drafted Dion Phaneuf he received an unsolicited email from an agent say Dion would never play in the NHL.
Emails like that mean nothing and Kerr did the appropriate thing and didn't do anything with it.
