One of the best & strongest worded statements from a GM I have ever seen, from any sport, about a player who's agent is trying to coax the public through the media:
LINKTreliving on Bennett
Sportsnet 960: Calgary Flames GM Brad Treliving on Sportsnet 960 radio Friday with Pat Steinberg when asked about Sam Bennett’s future with the Flames.
“Sam Bennett is a member of the organization. I hope you appreciate it, I’ve been, you’ve dealt with me long enough Pat, that any discussions I have with players, I would never break the confidence of a player. Anything I’m going to talk to the player will remain between the player and myself.
A few weeks ago I think we all saw Sam’s agent decided to have a conversation with the media and talking about changes of scenery and all that. We’ll determine whether it will be Sam Bennett or anybody else, what their scenery is and when it’s going to change. And until such time, Sam is a member of the Calgary Flames and he’s like every other member of the Calgary Flames.
We think Sam’s a hell of player, and we expect him to be a real good player here, and we’ll go from there.”
Why can't the Sabres get Treliving?
