Sure, I'm not offering the CHN tweet as proof of the story's falsehood, only that there were many who did not believe the original tweet from this BC blog, or at least wanted more info than a vague reference to an inside source. As I stated yesterday, there was too much smoke for there not to be some form of fire here, which was my belief yesterday - that something was up, I just didn't know who was the one that was more right. As I wrote earlier today, I now believe the outside reports more than I believe Coyle, specifically because he apparently did not respond to a follow up request for information last night from the BHB, which I took as further proof of something going on, and because, as someone noted in the last few posts, there wasn't really anyone else coming out saying it was false. Of course, the USHR report only further solidified that, as they are more reputable of a source than a random blog. So who knows, apparently someone contacted the Wild and they say they haven't heard anything first hand, but that's not exactly the most glaring denouncement of the story.
At this point, I'd like to find out if one of next year's freshmen can be fast-tracked to this season. I suppose if this was going to happen, now would be the best time for it, since it's between semesters, and someone can join the team and start classes at the beginning of the semester. IIRC, Beaudry did this at PC 3 years ago.
And for someone as apparently privy to all of this information as you are, you'd think you'd know how to correctly spell Trivino's name.
If you really think that's where his production would have stayed after another WJC, fine. He's still a big loss. The depth chart certainly got uglier.
