Description

From: https://www.nhltraderumor.com/devils-canadiens-matheson-trade-rumors/

So I am a Habs fan, and biased. And frankly, I don't really want to trade Matheson this season. He is offesnively gifted, skates like the wind, and his contract is soooooo low.
But from NJ perspective, I simply don't get it. I don't think either team would do it.

But just reporting on the rumor. So pleae comment with grave and decency.

The exact trade machine post it came from

I wonder if these scam news sites do some kind of check on how many comments it reaches and then post an article. The web scraping behind it would be somewhat interesting

Oh wow, that's hilarious!

We are minutes away from the first Habs fan telling us, “Kent rejected 10th overall and Holtz for Matheson”

Gosh, I am going to miss this website.

To be fair, I posted this when I saw the website... not as a trade proposal lol
I guess I didn't realize that there were these AI-generated trash websites trolling too... I'm a Habs fan, and also don't understand how this trade would make sense: that's what I posted in the intro.

It literally just pulls random fans trade machine post and then has an AI generated article for this new “rumour”

great find

I’ve seen those sites a couple times before and usually recognize the trade from trade machine. Rarely from ACGMs, I guess it struggles to scrape that data
