    Listening to his show can be very informative about what is coming down the pipe, but you can never tell which of the threads will end up coming through in fact.

      He reported Nylander as a done deal, when it clearly was not.

          What he reported turned out to be true. Late on July 1st the Oilers told him and another radio guy that Nylander had agreed to come to Edmonton. There's an offer sheet or somesuch that he or his agent (Mike Gillis, IIRC) signed.

          It is not a done deal til the contract is signed and filed with the league.

          Nylander's wife said she would not go. Nylander never signed the completed contract. The Oilers had nothing to file with the league. Ergo, Nylander remained a UFA.

          This was all verified by the Oilers after the fact.

            BTW, he also broke that Bouwmeester was coming back to Alberta long, long before it happened.

              I should say reported. He did not 'break' it with confirmation, etc as a story.

              He simply said that he was coming back, several times.

                Fact remains it was not a done deal. And you've just called for LA to be investigated for reporting a deal that was not done.

                  Nylander was not anybody else's player.

                  You can't tamper or interfere with a UFA.

                    ... and what he reported was true.

                    Nylander (or his agent) signed an offer sheet. The contracts get done and filed with the league long after Bob McKenzie reports that X has signed with Y.

                      Erhoff's deal gives him 45% of his $40 million deal over 10 years in the first 2 years.

                        Vancouver traded his negotiating rights to NYI for a 4th round pick. He's not "being shopped", he's been shopped.
                        And yet he went to Buffalo. As I said, he was being shopped.

                          You seem confused. He wasn't BEING shopped. By the time you posted that, HE WAS ALREADY SHOPPED. That's what I said. Vancouver traded away their negotiating rights.

                              Dale Tallon trades for Vertseeg in Florida...2nd & 3rd round pick surrendered.

                              He's trying to build the Blackhawks again.
