Of course it is. If however he was associated with an NHL team, the articles would have mentioned that, and not that Anthony's family were restaurateurs (bear in mind that pretty much any employee of an NHL team is listed on their website in some form or other).

He owns his own business, his kid is up for draft, he has a lot to be proud of. Why lie?
- lumlums

oh for sure..

but being associated with an NHL team isnt that far fetched.. I know people who are associated in some fashion with pro sports teams.. Maybe he has dinner with the team often and they fill him in on some stuff idk..

sucks having the #1 pick doesn't it

Not really. Draft the center. Who knows if you'll have another shot a franchise pivot.

Had the Oilers taken Seguin ( not sure if he would be solid enough defensively to be an NHLmtop line C, but let's assume), we would have taken Landeskogg the next year. We would still suck and probably still take Yak ( barf) and Nurse and probably LD or Bennett , but the butterfly effect would likely mean no McDavid.

In typical Leafs fashion, they'll draft Matthews and Laine will go on to become the next Teemu.

I know, I know. Occassionally

he nailed it before it happened...so I don't see why I wouldn't believe him...hell look at some of Lums post and he says he's going to be a doctor.

I don't doubt that. It was the whole schtick about having been with an NHL team for 12 years that sounded fishy... I don't see why any NHL team would let their staff post on a hockey rumour forum!!!

If he'd have come on and said:

"Hey guys, my son just got drafted by the Soo, and his agent - who is winnik's agent - just finalized a deal for him with to sign with the Leafs! They just put pen to paper in my restaurant!" then it's a whole different story...

So some random asshats on a hockey forum don't look him up on the internet and expose him and start talking poop about his wife.

He's just a guy who's around hockey and sharing rumors he has heard and wants to keep it (his identity) on the DL....not sure why you and the bird fella starting kicking the internet poop out of him.

FFS, I like the rumors....true or not...give me more KingGilmore....MORE!!!

Who's been feeding Hall those goals?

The criminally under-competative oppositions defence.....

Hungary? Really?? (frank)ing HUNGARY!!

There's a good chance both will become all-stars.

He claimed to be the father of an NHL eligible prospect. The peramaters that he set would conclude that he's talking about Anthony Salinitri. All I did was read an article that mentioned his parents by name. He over reacted.

He lied about being associated with an NHL team.

He's a pathological liar.

I've worked within the Illitch family for the better part of 12 years. Look it up. Yes I also owned a very successful restaurant chaine named Spago's. I met Mike and his wife as well as Scotty and Stan bowman while I owned the resturant. I was offered a job scoutning locally for the red wings; and then it turned into a full time postion working with Kenny and Steve....so F$##$ off

Meh....not like he's told us Stammer is signing some where?

I believe, but I'm gullible I guess

Kinggilmour is full of the grossest poop.

Edmonton is an anomaly.... things will turn around next year..

but i hate when people refer to the Edmonton model... it might be a joke right now but in 3-4 years when they win a cup everyone will be praising it.. just a few unnecessary bumps in the road due to bad management. Oil fans know this.

She looks much better without them

I read one (frank)ing article about Anthony Salinitri, where his parents are mentioned by name. Now everyone acts like I hacked their personal computer and exposed family secrets.

"Associated" and "Acquainted" are very different though... associated implies a formal employment between the parties.

Hell, one of the girls on my Edmonton co-ed soccer team was one of the former Oilers cheerleaders, and one of the folks I know from grad school is one of the current cheerleaders! Allow me to now tell you who they're going to move and for what...

Don't worry about the seagull, he poops on everybody.

Other people on here want the scoop when you get it.

And even if you have one contact....it's one more then the guy who owns the site, EK. You've nailed more trades then him.

Keep going.

What everyone here really wants to know, and you keep failing to mention, is the food at Spago; pretty good or what?

You should probably go change

Matthews>Laine no matter the outcome of this tournament.

I've seen every game now by both players and both are going to be all stars! But, Matthews is going to be generational talent! Can't wait for the rookie tournament in London
