Just listening now. Russo also says he knows the deal didn't get leaked from Minnesota's side, so it must have been Calgary or central registry.
But then he also says he has no idea how some Wild teammates knew about Zucker getting traded before it was announced.
Those 2 thoughts seem contradictory. If some of the players knew about it then why couldn't the leak also have come from Minnesota?
Russo also says Zucker's agents are pissed. Sounds like all the parties involved wanted this trade to happen.
