It was actual audio out of KH mouth, word for word, bud...
Even so... if you think he actually only knows what's going on with other teams based on perusing the daily newspaper, I have oceanfront property in Arizona for you.
People have to stop taking things that GMs say in little bull**** radio segments as gospel. The Red Wings have pro scouts. They have assistant coaches and the whole nine yards. What is Holland gonna say "Yeah, we have spies all over the league!" He's gonna give the radio jockeys something stupid. It's like taking what coaches say at those halftime interviews while they're walking to the locker room to mean anything.
Holland knows everyone thinks he's a doddering old fool. That's him playing into it more than him actually being senile.
I would wager more that Holland checks out the newspapers as an addition/verification for what he hears from his scouts and the like. Like I said, the 97.1 guys are hot take central radio jockeys. They don't care about hockey and make it pretty plain they don't care about hockey, and right now they're all about bagging on Holland when they talk hockey because it is cool to do now.
