Not some sort of outrageous claim, but guys like Marek and Friedman hear this kind of stuff all the time. More often than not they will not name the player out of respect and hope the guy turns it around and dont have it out there making it hard for him to avoid answering questions everywhere he goes.
It's responsible reporting to treat it the way they have thus far. Otherwise they would have named names and likely destroyed the kids career.

In my mind, news would be if the 1st round pick quit hockey to become a professional gamer. I guess it's news that he plays a lot of video games but saying he won't make the NHL is speculation.
