Who actually said they're holding out on medical's?
- Powerslave

Larry Brooks also. If I was a GM negotiating I would have the teams put their best offer on the table before handing over the medicals too. You have to know that they can be in the game. If the medicals are positive and the best offer on the table it the ones these doucher Rangers fans are suggesting then it was a waste of time. Get the offer, present the records.

I would take what Friedman says with a grain of salt. He says " I think" aka putting in his opinion with no real facts.
- Sabretooth9

True, but he's not the only one that has said it.

Because that's what has been coming out, even Friedman said it today. The only teams I thought saw them were Minnesota and Anaheim. But even Friedman said this morning he wasn't sure if Minnesota has seen them.
- Buff36

My opinion is that they obviously seen them.

Otherwise, why negotiate??

True, but he's not the only one that has said it.

Teams have to be careful here w what they say. No one is going to come out and say they've seen them.

Yeah you can do that, but could affect what teams are willing to make offers.

If our doctors are willing to sign off on injury
We offer this

If not
No deal

Thats fine. They were not interested then. The offers in the end are based on the medicals but if I am KA I am seeing who will offer what first.If it is not enough then there is no reason to share. Thats just me though, I spend my weekdays negotiating for a living.

I understand that, but we wouldn't be having conversations about why teams are being hesitant on offering there best prospects.

I never said it would be the sabres leaking it. Two sides to every trade.

ESPN said Risto was traded. Just haven't seen it from a credible source

I THINK he's been traded just have to find out were

But if someone is not willing to offer their best prospect regardless then you do not waste your time with them. Perfect health some players are off the table. Let's find that out ahead of time. Some teams may just be calling for a competitive advantage on the industry. Hold you cards.

This is kinda fun.

I would take Davis over Oliver but maybe Davis doesn't count because he's on an "ELC"
- Hank Balling

Definitely not Feliciano

Got him hog tied and muzzled somewhere

Why do people assume only the sabres can leak?

Definitely not Feliciano
- Punch70

I think the pick would be Trubisky. $2.5m QB

True

Why do any of us assume any of these leaks have any truth to them?

99% of these rumors never come true.

Well there is a difference between a transaction being leaked and a rumor.

Like Seattle's picks getting leaked. Thats not a rumor.

Personally I love rumors. Real or fake, it doesn't matter. Thats why I could care less if someone on this site has a "source" and has rumors. We are all brought here together by one of the biggest rumor frauds out there. Why not have fun with it?
