  • Honestly would be hilarious to see Shanon make an intentionally super clickbaitey hockey video poking fun at this
  • @Tbiblaine23
    I’ve always hated the fake trade rumors it’s so annoying. Heard so many times a trade for Saros to New Jersey was already in place just waiting to be announced and it made me so anxious. It’s a terrible business
  • @JohnnyBuschi
    When Lou is your GM you can be safe in the knowledge that any rumor is false, even if it's true.
  • @patrickn594
    Nah I literally trust next to nobody for trade rumors not really a problem for me but thanks for the warning
  • A term frequently used to refer to this time of year is "silly season" when sites don't have any real stories so they make speculative stories with minimal evidence.
  • @JD200_
    The suggested post on FB are absolutely brutal. 3/4 of my feed are suggested posts.
  • Being a Sabres fan I have learned over the past 14 years to not believe any trade rumor.
  • @SMG2fanatic
    Not even the rumors, but even the trade speculation articles I never read. It’s pointless. I’ll read about the trade when it actually happens, thank you very much
  • Still waiting on Zegras to join Montreal against a pack of Molson beer, St-Viateur Bagels and a large poutine. Gotta say most trade rumors in Montreal sure all look extremely 1 sided and generally doesn’t give a shit about what the other team wants or needs.
  • @MySundin13
    there's only ONE channel that isn't based on dumb rumours...and that's The Hockey Guy 🎉.
  • One interesting video idea would be teams that tend to trade with each other vs teams that never trade with each other
  • @BrotherAlpha
    Sometime trade rumours are fun because they are so silly, but for the most part, I hate listening to rumours.
  • @McSomething15
    At this point Facebook is largley bots arguing with bots.
  • Ignore 90% of what Top Shelf Hockey says about rumours. There’s more fluff than the lint tray in my dryer! Appreciate THG’s approaches to everything.
  • Rutger mcGroarty trade rumours have been strange to say the least
  • @KingKabalIII
    Bobrovski is going to Tampa!? Wow. You've really got your ears on. Can't wait to share this.
  • And a lot of these YouTube channels now just report on rumors mainly like Top Shelf Hockey. I mean they do like what happened daily and then they just have 13 more minutes dedicated to just all trade rumors. Half the time it’s just their own speculation mixed with somebody making up a rumor. it’s just crazy and I’m so glad I have a channel to go to like yours where you don’t see that this is a great video. Great analysis and it’s a great observation of what’s really going on.
  • Long time follower. Watching on purpose in the summer, to show my support. Gracias.
