Remember kids, verify your sources when you think you see a trade. Don't be the one to post a fake trade, either on accident or because you are a troll. Take the extra second to check the spelling of the account or the number of followers. And for the love of Gord, please don't ask if the Leafs can bank LTIR space. Have fun today!
