Who knows of course, but that thought had crossed my mind.

I could see the second one, but the first one is really a classic fan theory that completely undermines the intelligence of an NHL GM. Not only is McPhee not stupid enough to have what Treliving says on a local AM radio show matter in his decision, but I honestly doubt he ever hears it.
