Some things don’t pan out. I don’t think Sheng would make things up. I think it’s just that Doug has his hands in a lot of bowls, and sources over estimate how deep his hand is in some.

Very apt analogy.

But a good reporter does not report till that had has what it wants and is on its way out

 

[The Great John Scott]

I guess I’d rather see Sheng swing and miss than whatever the f*** Darren Dreger does on Twitter.

Sheng said he has 100% faith in his guy or he wouldn’t have said it. Guess we will see.

Could very well still happen, but when you have to wait 2-3 days after the fact and you never dropped a name it’s next to impossible to reasonably credit him with anything. Either you put it out with names and it happens that day or you don’t tweet it out and avoid looking foolish. Very click baity.

If he had put it on his website, implying "only paid members" get to see, I might agree with you. He didn't; he published it publically.

Think about it from the other point of view. A trusted source decides to tell him something, and Peng decides not to report it. He's indirectly telling his source that he is not trustworthy, and then he loses a source.

I had a dream that we traded Simek for somebody i never heard of and I’ll be honest, I’m really disappointed by how unimaginative my brain is.

I did find the lack of specificity with teams or players quite odd as well.

 

[Erep]

Sheng with the scoop.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

So when do we discredit Sheng as an insider? How many blue balls scenarios do we need?

Sounds like he had this one before anybody else, so I would suggest we don’t do that.



Also never saw him confirm Sheary or anything, just say we were talking to him.

Not horrible. Merkley should be a good 13th forward/4th liner. Scrappy and plays hard without being an offensive black hole. Kinda like poor man’s Goodrow.

 

[OffSydes]

Let collect all the Merkleys

 

[wishman]

In Sheng we trust!

sign him for 5 years, 5 million

 

[Lebanezer]

Remember at the draft when Kevin Weekes said keep an eye on SJ and NJ? This is what he was talking about.

 

[SharksAddict]

Good riddance on Jaros.

Merkley maybe some 4th line C competition for Gambrell?

 

[hohosaregood]

This is probably a slight win for us.

 

[Jargon]

Sounds like he’s a pretty good playmaker? I love the one scouting report I read on him which was basically that he isn’t wildly skilled but he works really hard and is constantly passing the puck.

Sounds similar to comedy prospect @TheBeard

Only 3 days later and intentionally vague. It’s like he had 16 teams and 72 hours to choose from.

 

[one2gamble]

yay

Was a first round pick and has scored fairly well in AHL so gotta be some skill there.

Hopefully with his older brother around, Ryan will be more motivated to play better. Maybe he even makes the team out of camp.
I did like Jaros though but we have an excess of young dmen in the minors.

Don't believe they are related.
