This so called rumour was obiously made up from some wishful thinking Doggies supporter.
2 years ago i think every single club approached the Hawks about trade possibility of Roughead. They got told go away not up for trade and the same still stands. There is virtually no trade that would see the Hawks trade Roughead. Hell he could play full back himself and has 10+ years in front of him compared to Lake's around 5 years to go.
Asking about a player that publicly stated he would sign on for less to stay at the Hawks to keep the side together and had no thoughts of going anywhere.
I can guarantee you Chris Pelchen and Al Clarkson would do absolutely everyhthing in their power to keep Roughy a Hawk. He is a key component in the premiership model. No point trading one of your keys to get a less worthy key.
Apparently this so called source is fairly reliable, but really anyone could say they have a reliable source. Anyhow judging from thoughts it obviously won't happen.
