"Listening", like I listen to the telemarketer's canned introduction before finding a time to politely say I am not interested and hang up.

They don't even make it that far with me. I'm already gone!

GMs listen to other GMs all the time.

I don't take rumors seriously until proposed details start leaking, even then, a lot of misinformation, but at least you know the parties are talking value, not in generalities.

Even when we get actual details from good sources you refuse to believe anything that would be bad news

Only when they don't make sense.
You can get a good idea of comparables:

NHL Trade Tracker - History of NHL trades - Fantasy Hockey Analysis

It's like the Walker trade, presented as Walker for a 1st in the media, then the details include a 5th and taking on Peterson's 2yr/$5M a year deal (worth a 2nd or 3rd). That makes the value of the deal probably more in the area of an early 2nd rd pick. Still good, but not as good as it looked at first.

You seem that every hint of incompetence "doesn't make sense" and refuse to believe it which is odd because the end product indicates a substantial level of incompetence
