Wow, that spiralled all the way to shutting down debate with logical fallacies? Way to go board! While it certainly was interesting reading, I'm pretty sure that I stated my opinion on the matter, and at no time tried to stop discussion.
I did say that given how staunchly supportive our coach is of the young defence man, I'm set to watch and see how he continues to develop with an optimistic eye, rather than adopt the opinion of those who think he's a plug and done developing.
I watch him play, like everyone else, and while he could go either way I suppose, I'm choosing to consider the opinion of the man who has decades of coaching experience, runs the team, and has access to hoards of information we don't, over random poster on the internet, several of whom do nothing but complain about every facet of the team that they can.
Look, you hard done by souls have no problem treating your personal options as absolute 'because you say so', and then cry foul play when an opinion based on stronger stuff (though not in any way absolute) disagrees with you. Take your logical fallacy crap and shove it, and take you 'he's trying to shut down discussion' and shove it as well.
I've simply shared my opinion, and said why, you keep doing you and 'discuss' on by all means. Jesus....
