Earlier today Leafs' fans were treated to some unlikely news via Twitter: Steven Stamkos and the Toronto Maple Leafs had already come to a tentative agreement on a contract that would bring him to The Big Smoke. What's more, it was being circulated that it was Georges Laraque who broke the story. It didn't make much sense. How would Laraque have known anything about something like this? And how would they have negotiated such a contract? It certainly would have been tampering.
The truth came out later on his radio show 91.9 Sport, where Laraque shed some much-needed light on the situation.
