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.
What is with reactions like this?

GMs talk all the time. But 90-some percent of the time, it doesn't result in a trade. Absolutely no one should be surprised by that.

Fans want rumours. They scream for rumours. So these guys report discussions.

Then, when a trade doesn't happen (which is the most likely result), some fans shoot the messenger.

####ing bizarre and childish reaction.
