How LNODEK handles trade rumors versus completed trades
A rumor is attributed to whoever reported it and stays labelled as a rumor until a team confirms it. A completed trade is written up separately once the deal is official, with the terms as reported rather than assumed. Mixing the two into one undifferentiated trade feed would make it harder to tell what has actually happened from what one source is floating.
The hockey and market impact are covered together: a trade can change a team’s power-ranking position and its futures pricing in the same week, and a rumored move that would matter to a betting line is noted even before it closes. Readers following one club’s roster should also check that team’s page for the fuller storyline.
