Let's be honest, he was making #### up about Dougie Hamilton and now he's reaching for any reason to explain why it didn't come to fruition.

I think a lot of teams casually talk about a lot of scenarios without ever getting into serious talks and this is where most rumours come from as there's a lot more media leaks and people interested to find any news that casual talk gets turn into full blown rumour. I'm sure a lot of GM's bring up Hamilton in talks with Treliving and they talk about if he was available what would it take, ect and things never progressing further. It's no different than us here speculating all year about Mark Stone being available despite his few if any rumours he's ever been up on the block and for all we know may sign with the Senators long term.
