Sucks that we all get deprived of fun, legitimate talking points because of one vocal poster who doesn't understand the ebb and flow of trade talks.
actually I do... I'm the one that says teams talk trades all the time. I have made many supporting posts for eklund saying he very likely has sources and just because his posts don't come true doesn't mean he doesn't have sources. I recently supported james murphy when everyone here attacked him because I said its very likely chiarelli would ask about krug
dom has really called me out several times telling me I hurt his feelings. but never once have I posted he doesn't have inside sources. never once have I said he doesn't know things.
what I said is most trade talk doesn't lead to a trade
what I said is its still trade talk... but lets not treat it like its going to lead to a trade because it probably wont
what I said is a lot of trade talk goes on that never gets leaked... so just because someone didn't leak it don't treat it like it hasn't been discussed.
what I said is gms get fined if they leak trade talk involving players on another team
show me where ive said anything that isn't 100% correct. I feel I must respond to you because here I am being poisoned by a very respected poster calling me out for ruining things.
but debate me on the points... where am I out to lunch here? I admit when I say Cameron mann or kyle wanvig can be good bruins... I'm wrong. when I say I think brad marchand isn't a good signing for 6 years at 6 mill... I'm wrong. when I say might as well throw heinen into the trade instead of Bjork because they both battle for the same spot and its unlikely we can keep both... I might be wrong.
I don't think I'm wrong about keeping both... but maybe heinen is the one to keep instead of Bjork
that's why I don't set myself up as some know it all in the first place. I admit I'm not a scout. I admit my analysis on marchand is based on how other agitator style players age. I admit that even though it seems heinen is better to trade than Bjork, I could live with keeping heinen and dealing Bjork instead.
at the end of the day I like to spend hours everyday enjoying my team. and I like to enjoy it with other people that enjoy it too. my job isn't related to this so maybe I don't need to fight to be right. but I am passionate and if people are fighting against me I will stand my ground and use logic and facts to try to support my pov.
if you feel I don't understand trade talks you obviously haven't been paying any attention and now I'm a bit sad I wasted this time responding to you
