"it wouldn't surprise me" ... lol, that's the most conservative play-it-safe card available. Make up a random rumour after connecting some dots (like the lazy "player X has played for GM/coach/whatever Y before" connection made in this case) and just throw in there a "it wouldn't surprise me". Easy. And if every tenth "it wouldn't surprise me" comes to fruition, you can say "I told you so". Clever.
Nothing to see here, really.
