I for one don't put too much into trying to find out what the Habs are doing behind the scenes. It's just too dam hard to figure out.
No way any media member or "insider" knows what teams are up to. It's all gossip and click bait statements so they justify their job.
Exactly! It takes extreme levels of gullibility and naivety for people to actually discuss the nonsense that is out there as having any level of credibility.
All of these clowns like McCagg, Boisvert, Button etc talking about draft prospects as though they have been going to see them live are no better than the couch scouts that they make fun of. These fans do deserve to be made fun of when they quote these sources however. I made the mistake of watching the Marinaro podcast where he had Wilde and McCagg on where both of these nimrods were using the perjorative slur "Billy Basement" in reference to internet posters as though these two have watched even 5% of these players live.......really rich coming from a beta journalist and a fake scout.
The typical "I am hearing" and "rumours have it" comments are just recycled, information bubble nonsense that boards like this and clowns like them are feeding each other lol......throw in a healthy dash of confirmation bias and a lack of critical thinking/reasoning skills and you have most of the content on these boards.
There are some very good posters on here but they are often drowned out by the primal horde of zombie sheep that prefer nonsense that conforms to their bias rather than the truth which is all too often that we just don't have the answer.
