Clearly none of us are in the room and can’t know for sure, but my spider-sense calls BS on these reports. For me it’s just a convenient distraction that all teams employ to help “sell” a transaction to the fan base.

Those who see the translation as positive will put weight to these reports, and those who see the transaction as negative will ignore them.
And don’t forget Hamilton (aloof) Ferland (unreachable) and Fox (unsignable). That’s an age old pro sports tradition to let this kind of stuff leak out and Flames do it as much as anyone.

I think Neal’s attitude was exactly as advertised. Guess it’s tougher o swallow when the guy plays so poorly.
