Pretty sure his contact is in the Blues front office. Not sure exactly who it is, but one of our guys connected to the OHL. He's really more of a Blues insider, that's why he knows about Edmonton making an offer on Schenn, and knew about Nash being offered for Shattenkirk.
The issue before was that he hinted at what the players could be, and people successfully guessed, even though he didn't confirm. the 1st+Gryz+Heinen, was definitely a package offered to us that we didn't accept, but that 1st was probably a 2nd, so if it was accepted, people would've hated it because expectations were incorrectly set high based on that rumor. I'm sure his contact is fine releasing info, just not specifics on players until everything is done.
