Friedman is often the first to report breaking news and major developments with his numerous lists of sources. Unfortunately, there are also rumors that break that aren't meant to be let out yet, or things revealed that's happened behind closed doors.
For example, last week, the Ottawa Senators AHL affiliate Belleville Senators coach was terminated after sharing inside information with other teams in the League. It now appears the NHL team in Canada too also has what they call a "leaker". During The most recent 32 podcast, Friedman would reveal the news that the Vancouver Canucks have someone in their organization sharing management's news.
