George McPhee was being interviewed by the local Fox Sports Radio affiliate Friday when the Golden Knights general manager was asked about forward Brandon Pirri and the fact that his name appeared on the American Hockey League transaction wire as being assigned to the Chicago Wolves the previous day, only to be recalled to Las Vegas less than two hours later.
“Well, there wasn’t a transaction,” McPhee said, “and so I don’t know where that is coming from. Um, and, so, nothing happened.”
Um, something happened, and it came from the AHL transaction list of which the Knights would have had to submit such information, so either McPhee had short-term memory loss or someone did it without his knowledge and needs to be fired.
