Meh, people hear exciting things and share.

Sometimes exciting ideas or deals in principle don’t get executed.

What sucks is being a fan of a mid team, that can’t learn the #1 rule of this game ‘if you ain’t first yer last!’ Or, you better finish last because the league rewards abject failure more than it does sporting jntegrity (always trying to win).

NHL GMs are too afraid of criticism and social media to actually make trades

I mean some decent trades went down today. Conroy didn't get what he wanted for Andersson I guess.

You think a bunch of old white men are worried about social media?

It's almost as if these insiders who report on trades via social media have some sort of incentive to sensationalize things because they get income off impressions...

One thing I don’t get is asking for multiple pieces. I want a first a prospect a roster player.

Like stop with the extreme greed and let strategy be your guide. Ask for one high pick. For example. Maybe the Flames need to calibrate expectations?

Reading the same rumours you are. Let me know when you find that as a Flames ask based on all the insiders or whatever info.

If you’re trading Ras for picks, you want 2026 picks, not 2025 picks.

I didn't really see any realistic rumours... the only hope I had was that Andersson would sign in Columbus.
