And really, these are multibillion dollar organizations, but when it comes to the window they still have to "scout" players who are entirely well known to anyone paying attention. It would be like the Flames sending scouts to see if they should trade for Malkin. But I suppose that is all part of the game.

yup. It's amazing though how much BS you can filter out when you only look at "reliable" news outlets. BBC, Telegraph, Times, Guardian ... that's it. Just ignore all the other crap. Too bad the "reliable" list is getting smaller every year - this summer I've crossed off Sky Sports. Co-owning a betting company just seems like an obvious reason to have an interest in planting fake rumours.
