It's not that Integrity, Loyalty, Perseverance, aren't quality traits to have. It's that there aren't many people in the NHL that are going to lack those traits. It's similar to listing "good skater" as something a hockey player needs. I don't see leadership qualities in Spurgeon when he's on the ice. I'm fine with people disagreeing with that, but if you're going to call me an idiot for my opinion, then you need to back yours up with something better than "because I said so".
And to cast my opinion aside just because I thought trading Spurgeon was the smarter move is just lazy. Kevin Fiala is probably my favorite player to watch on this team and is pretty much the exact opposite of Spurgeon the ice. I don't see much leadership in Fiala either.
You're fine to have your opinion, it's a fair one to have. But it's not a constructive dialogue to reject out of hand other people's opinions or reasoning as "Not a leadership quality". You tend to post as "I'm right, you're wrong", not "I disagree, here's why". You're welcome to do that, but it's usaully going to devolve into a pissing match.
I can't speak for other posters, but I never called you an idiot, I don't think I put your position on Spurgeon's contract into the conversation. You asked for leadership skills, I provided you with ones that he has. You rejected them out of hand as not being leadership skills.
There are players that don't have the level of Perseverance that Spurgeon has given his path to the NHL, and the long list of supremely talented players that wash out or never reach their potential because they couldn't or wouldn't put in the work. Thats a leadership quality. Spurgeon can go up to any player in the game and command respect because he worked his way up from nothing to being a one of the top 30 or so most valuable defensemen in the league. He can counsel the young 7th round pick because he's been there, or the lottery pick superstar because he's made his bones.
Integrity and accountability is another one. Examples of people are lacking in it to some degree would be Donato/Greenway/Kunin for sulking when being asked to play in the AHL playoffs. Greenway for apparently not putting in the work. Dubnyk for never taking responsibility for a bad goal. The long list of players with substance abuse issues that impact their game.
You may think those aren't as important having an outgoing demeanor, or being willing to get in anyone/everyone's face and throw down. That doesn't mean they aren't important.
