"manufacturing claims that are patently untrue" is an overstatement. I said, that Treliving was the only GM in the league, who couldn't see that Jagr was done and it reaffirms Treliving's lack of evaluation skills. Apparently, there was a Blues GM, who also wanted Jagr after the sudden and abrupt loss of Fabbri near the end of the training camp. While such correction does picture a more accurate flow of events, it neither defeats the initial point nor makes my initial post all that "false".
