This sounds definitive ...

It's not.  I already made a thread about it and rightfully got slapped by the ever-vigilant CTB.

If something that definitive doesn't get quickly followed up by the big newsbreakers I think it's pretty fair to say it's not true.

Dear TSN,

Stop updating me on the gosh darn soccer game. Spain could be invaded by Russia and I'd barely care.

Still 30 minutes old and nothing from anyone else. They certainly jumped the gun off whatever info they think they had. If they wanted to "break" this deal then they needed contract information along with it to be taken seriously.

So we really are doing this Bachelor style?

Also, Bob Mckenzie really doesn't need to be tweeting out guys signing entry level deals right now.

 

[Frank E]

No deal for Thornton yet either?

 

[Joe S.]

I like seeing nik somewhat excited.

On another note, here?s a trip down memory lane to see how far we?ve come:

"I'm not confident every team has John Tavares as No. 1," said Burke.

We knew this at midnight.

A lot of what's slowly coming out is just pointing toward what we already pretty confident of for days -- Toronto or SJS. So, just tell us that!

But could it be Boston.........?

JT strolling in halfway through the Scotiabank Arena press conference to sit down and sign the contract would be so baller.
