In the words of Forrest Gump, 'It Happens'

Regarding TSN and Aaron Ward getting a deal wrong for perhaps the first time ever, especially given that we live in a hockey world where "Insiderrs" and would-be "experts" make a living wage selling fans on nonsensical trade rumors, there's something to be said for, "We all get it wrong once in a while." Or, as the CBC's Elliotte Friedman put it:

Before I go to bed: being wrong sucks. I've been there. It hurts. No piling on here. All you can do is learn from it and move on.

As far as I'm concerned, Ward should have to wear P.J. Stock's collar-up sportcoat during TSN's TradeCentre on Tuesday, and all will be well with the world again. I do this for a living, and let me tell you, most of us work our asses off to get details right, but the best-intentioned make mistakes.

Update: And here's what TSN does when it makes mistakes:

To be clear - no excuses -our group at TSN, of which I'm part of, regrets making a reporting error tonight. Apologies to our audience.

Update at 3:53 AM:

Doesn't matter now, but CGY preferred deal was with BOS. The 2 teams agreed on components but w/o critical 3rd element - player approval.
