Canuck fan coming in peace.
So someone (An article from something called wheel house hockey. Houseofhockey.net) is suggesting that the Canucks are close on a deal with NJ.
Disliked that I gave a click to a rumor monger site. I'd be careful with putting too much stock into sites like that. They tend to misrepresent things and spin it with a sexy headline. The legitimate reporters always joke about how they get "radio'd" by these sort of sites who make it seem like they said something they definitely didn't say.
In this case their source is some random Vancouver fan on Twitter? Looking through the guy's posts and he seems like he's mostly just throwing out ideas rather than having any particular sources. The "writer" for the site doesn't appear to attach his last name to the story either which would be a red flag for me.
Dreger mentioned on an Insider Trading segment last week that some teams would be interested in Boeser with retention and that Vancouver was willing to that concept to maximize its return.
Saw a few people on the main board link to rumor monger sites that parroted Dreger's statement but then added their own trade ideas to make it seem like Dreger said it.
Unrelated, but I had a friend who was briefly a writer for one of those content farms. One of his first assignments was writing about who the Penguins should target at the 2010 NHL Draft. My friend knew next to nothing about the draft. But after 10 minutes of Google searches, he cobbled something together. I cringe to think that anybody read that article and thought he had any insight.
