Thought the same thing, simply because a guy like LeBrun and Russo aren’t rumour mongerers and were fairly surprised that it fell through and have no idea why, so it was some X factor.
Zucker gives some flippant answer to Gio as he assesses the fit over the phone, and Gio and or Treliving kyboshes the deal based on that. Never mind the history that AC dug up.
Zucker didn’t have an ntc, doesn’t kick in until next year, so it wasn’t that and this was the last time the Wild could trade him without his consent.
I’ll go with the Gio kybosh deal story until we are told otherwise!
We will see on Iginla night, of all nights.
