There are 31 NHL GMs that are constantly discussing players and trades daily. My guess is that less than 0.5% of what gets discussed actually ends up being a trade.

Just because a rumour doesn't pan out it doesn't mean it was fake. Just means that they couldn't come to agreement on a deal that made sense.

As long as the rumors aren't about a players personal life or a personal issue surrounding a team then there should be no issue with people sharing rumors and nobody should have any expectation that all rumors are going to end up being true.
You're not wrong.

But you're arguing the wrong thing. He didn't post a rumour.

He left breadcrumbs. Message board equivalent of clickbait.
