would be nice if, he said who he heard it from. player? agent? chuck? what these guys hear isn't always what happenes, just what the teller wants out there.
You don't. These players aren't Richards and Carter where you knew they were gonna be good all around players.
His own words contradict that.
Sanheim wanted a long-term deal, but not at the price Striiker wanted to pay him.
I doubt Charlie simply forgot to name his source. As we know from the frequent "anonymous sources" attribution, sources often want to remain unnamed.
The thing is that goalscoring is at premium, especially if it's all 5on5. Just look at how much skinner got whose deal I suspect eventually made Fletch pony up even more. That's also the reason why Duchene will get so much. His skill is way above his hockey smarts making it tougher to be useful on pp.
nothing all that secret about the answer or the question if it's a fact. why would someone want to not be named. i have no doubt charlie heard it and ran with it. and was not saying it was b.s. just wondered if / why he didn't say who told him,while saying it was not a guess.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but the fact that the answer from a source is accurate doesn't make it less likely the source would want to remain anonymous. They may believe that the story has more impact if it's not attributed to them. They may not be authorized to divulge the information. They may have shared other information in other stories or with other reporters and don't want to be identified as the source for this story because then their previous role in the previoius stories might come to light. Or, maybe they just don't want any publicity.
i understand the point you are getting at. i just don't take it as fact that, everything charlie hears from secret sources, is what happened or entirely accurate.
