I always wonder about these things how they actually work. Hockey is the worlds most able to keep secrets sport on the planet. Probably why Graham James was such a fan.
The Lindholm/Toffoli/Backlund/Hanifin wishes being "revealed" via media has got to be a purposeful act.
Does a GM think "F these guys"? Does this reduce the trade value? It has too, doesn't it?
Someone surely has to spill the beans on how these "leaks" are leaked?
How does Sutter be a giant POS all year long and just a few minor leaks come out about it, then days after he is punted they start laying into him. More than any coach I can remember and so soon. I didn't know Commodore hated Babcock until probably years later.
Should hockey media even be allowed to be called journalists? They just carry water all day so they can be fanboys for a salary.
Is Conroy just getting his feet wet with this all this nonsense?
Hockey is ridiculous for making life as bad as possible for the new guys so it can't be impossible that the GM's, the overseers would be exactly the same if not worse. "You ain;t coming in here on you first week and showing us vets up!"
