If you are talking the truth, then you have a well-informed opinion that I respect, while I disagree with it. However, this being internet, everyone is as trustworthy as a little kid caught with a hand in cookie jar.
The problem with this line of thought, is that if you're a Dallas fan, can we trust that you will look at the player who isnt "your guy" in an objective manner, or that you watch Buffalo enough to form an opinion about Dahlin? Dallas fans are neutral about Buffalo (assuming they arent fans of both teams) so are you speaking from experience that you watch eastern conference games more than western conference games (besides Dallas)? Seems like a heavy assumption to discredit people that dont agree with you.
You can find a reason like this in order to dismiss anyone's opinion on the site. Most of the time this is just conjecture, so it comes across as arguing in bad faith. You dont trust anyone who doesnt watch a specific number of games of your team, and when someone says they do, according to the post I'm quoting - you still dont really trust them... Hard to have a debate with that mindset.
It not like we're comparing Heis to Gudbranson, and saying Gudbranson is better.
