Normally this is about the time I would give you a little lecture regarding made-up, false, fake rumors.

I know the majority of KK readers are way past that stage and don’t even have the time for it, but there are some who think some of these people have “sources”.

But instead of that little lecture, I will turn it over to player agent Allan Walsh who just tweeted these…

Let’s say it the way it is. NHL GM’s share trade/UFA strategy with very tight circle of staff. Do you really think rumor guys have a clue?

This time of year, GM’s and people in the know are laughing at the so called internet rumor guys and their breathless “updates”.

So if you wish to continue believing in these people go for it, but you are being fooled and need to be very careful in who you believe these days.

Watch, I can do what others do… Without naming names, I’ve been told Ryan Smyth will soon be signing.
