Did someone jump the gun?

EK from <a href="http://www.hockeybuzz.com...;hockeybuzz.com</a> is reporting that Toews has signed. Kind of funny since www.TSN.com and [url]www.NHL.com and don't have anything information on the Toews signing as of yet.
<strong>UPDATE:</strong> <a href="http://www.areavoices.com...y/index.cfm">Brad Schlossman</a> Grand Forks Herald sports writer for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux has confirmed that Toews has not signed a contract as of yet and the rumor was incorrect.
Hum; seems that there are few people in hockey world that have an aweful case of wishful thinking, in fact my advice to the Hawks back up and let him make his decision. Toews is a tight college team that has a good chance of winning an NCAA title, the only thing Chicago has a chance of is finishing in the bottom half of the league standings . Seriously folks, the decision will be coming soon I am sure. It kind of makes a person wonder who was behind this rumor and how accurate it was.

I got off the phone with Toews a little bit ago and he was surprised to hear about the report. After seeing it for himself he said, "Jeez, I can confirm that's not true."
Toews just returned home yesterday and will finally get his first real chance to go over the decision with his parents in the coming days. It has been a whirlwind for him since the final couple weeks of the season.
Unfortunately, many rumors get tossed around at this time of year. Many people dislike the use of anonymous sources because of accuracy issues. Well, in this instance, not only is the source anonymous... so is the reporter.
The best place to hear it from will be Jonathan himself. He is always completely honest about everything. He didn't mislead anyone last year when he was going through the same process. He'll be open about everything again this year, too.
Also, many have wondered about the lengthy period of class he missed to go to Moscow. Toews said that his teachers have been very helpful and are giving him extensions, allowing him to take incompletes for now while he makes up the work.

Woah wait, so Canada isn't in the hockey world? Whats up with that?
Gee, to follow up, Tim Sassone, a Blackhawks beat writer reports that the deal is done, too, but not being announced for two weeks. Somebody did jump the gun. You, ejburton.
