Just look at this trade deadline. There were what 4 or 5 different people on here all saying they had sources where Markstrom was about to be traded to the Devils?
And then after these sources the media confirmed it as well. So people thinking Calgary is this leak free organization is laughable. If random people on this message board and are getting leaks, imagine what additional info gets out to the trade "insiders" and those people.

Again, why is there a direct line from the organization to the media on this? Markstrom has an agent that would have been well aware of the ongoings. What about the Devils? No leaks on their end? Did the Devils leak knowing it would put pressure on the Flames to make the move? If Markstrom was asked to waive, did he keep that to himself or might he have mentioned it to some of his teammates? Things do get out but I’m not convinced it’s from the organization direct to the media. I doubt very much Nonis told Dreger and Dreger then went on TSN to tell anyone in Canada or the US what’s transpiring.
It’s far too simple to look at it and say ‘the Flames leaked’.
Also,point of interest, I recall listening to a 32 thoughts podcast a while back where Friedman said he thinks he hears 10% of what’s discussed between GM and teams.
As far as leaks go, we don’t know what we don’t know.
