From my recollection that is where most rumors came from regarding the Flames in the past for coaching/management changes. John Doe was seen at Restaurant X with Joe Blow. John Doe was seen on a flight to Calgary or at the Calgary airport.

The simplest answer is likely the right one. Treliving didn't speak to anyone else.

The simplest answer is not one where you make baseless assumptions. The simplest answer is one that shows a pattern. Thus this would be the simplest answer.
The Flames are notoriously tight lipped about personnel moves. We have found out most Flames moves through beat reporters in other cities where the candidates have been employed. Or via people seeing the candidates in the city.
The Capitals are not notoriously tight lipped about personnel moves. We all knew basically immediately that Reirden was done in Washington. We all knew Trotz was done in Washington mid-way through his final season there and that Reirden was their guy.
So how is there any shock something has leaked out of Washington but not Calgary?
