Except that it leaves the window open for Komisarek to deny the rumors and have all the naive people believe him whereas if Strickland lays out all the details, he burns some bridges for no good reason.

In your version, he hurts his own credibility for no good reason. Putting forth a story the principal character can deny undermines himself as a journalist.

Stickland's a reporter. Facts are his bread and butter. Breaking a story is how he survives. If he had it, he's say it. He doesn't have it.

Komisarek, who has been a healthy scratch for the past 14 games, discussed the report with the media on Sunday.

"I'm not going to be commenting on what someone in St. Louis said so I don't even know the guy or why he said that," said Komisarek. "So I know the media types will like to say, 'A report, an anonymous report,' I'm curious to see where you guys get your stuff. That's all I can say at this time."

Komisarek did suggest that he was amused by the flurry of interest in him.

"It must be a slow news day," he said.

In your version, he's just making things up or repeating it from somebody else which destroys his credibility.

Strickland is a credible insider and so is Dreger. If you can read between the lines, you can see Komisarek wants out because he wants to play. End of story.

right. Strickland can read between the lines too. Doesn't mean Komi has asked for a trade... and if he has, it doesn't mean Strickland knows he did.

I've never denied what he is implying. nor am I denying Komi wants out. Of course he does. I'm just telling you, Strickland doesn't have it. If he did, he's say so.

No, of course not. Komisarek wants to eat popcorn in the press box for the rest of the year.

He does have it, he just didn't say it the way you wanted him to.

read the edit...

Never said he doesn't want out. Or course he does. It's a solid assumption. That's all Strickland has.

saying it is what separates him from Ek.

He didn't say it at all. He implied it without having to say it, cause he has no proof. If he had proof, he'd say "Komisarek asked for a trade." Cause that's being a reporter. Proving what you are saying. He can't prove it, so he didn't say it.

Really ?

Did you see that moron Chara take a fighting major? He's the #1 defender. He can't do that. Now they're going to lose.
