Drouin and Edmundson with the Oilers: a surprising publication is getting a lot of attention right now and it's important to beware
The season of more intense trade rumors has just begun in the National Hockey League, as we enter the final stretch before the infamous trade deadline.
In addition, reputable sources are starting to get their hands on some juicy information, with many linking Joel Edmundson's name to the Edmonton Oilers.
There is also Pierre LeBrun, who suggested that trades could be made earlier this year, because of the Connor Bedard lottery and because of the interest of some teams to "sell" their players sooner.
Rumors to be wary of.
Since a few hours, there is a publication that makes a lot of reaction and it also involves the Quebec forward Jonathan Drouin (in addition to Edmundson)
A Twitter account followed by nearly 10,000 followers published this:
We tell you about it simply to remind you the importance of making the difference between a publication of the kind, and a reliable information reported by a recognized journalist, like Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli, Elliotte Friedman, Darren Dreger, Chris Johnston and company.
It's going to start circulating a lot and you need to be well informed.
As for the publication involving Drouin, Edmundson and the Oilers, it has happened in the past that such an account has indeed obtained an exclusive news and that proved to be true, but we must still be wary.
What we know
The Edmonton Oilers are indeed genuinely interested in acquiring Joel Edmundson, and they would love to add a talented forward (like a Drouin).
This is confirmed by reputable journalists. However, does this mean that a deal is imminent? Not necessarily. That's the big difference. An interest and an imminent trade are two completely different things.
Drouin has eight points in 25 games this season and Edmundson has five in 31.
The next few weeks are going to be really interesting, and you can count on us to help you sort out the real from the fake.
