Why are reporters refusing to report that and instead just hedging with innuendo?
If Johnny was so unethical, why did the Flames try to do business with him again just 14-20 hrs after his [alleged] dastardly reneg?

Well, as was discussed yesterday, it's not just one report any more. Everything others have reported supports it.
And I haven't heard any new Flames offer after the UFA date being confirmed, and really it goes against what Treliving said in his presser. He said the door was closed. And looked pissed when he said it. But even if it is, sometimes you bite your tongue and try to continue to negotiate even when the other side is dicking around. Because you have an obligation to try.
