It's not an assessment? It's concrete? It's the furthest thing from concrete, you need to get over yourself if you think anything is concrete.
So has he not scored 52 points over the 2 previous seasons after scoring 36 as a rookie?
I never said you said anything. I was giving you an assessment as to why Bennett is unlikely to be traded.
No, you just mentioned names like Nail Yakupov and Gilbert Brule for no specific reason.
Again, I never said you said anything. You need to stop worrying about what you think I am claiming you said and actually read what I said. I simply used examples of players that brought nothing without producing and someone who brought something without producing.
So why mention them if you're not claiming that I'm saying Bennett is any of that? It holds zero relevance to the actual discussion.
I also never claimed Bennett was as good as Courturier defensively, I actually never compared them as players at all. I compared situations and even stated and I quote:
take note of the bolded.
No, you claimed it was a Couturier situation, which it's not, because Couturier was a very good to an elite defender for a long time.
Again, I never claimed you said anything and never said it mirrors anything, said it was similar and why it was similar. I gave MY ASSESSMENT of the Bennett situation as someone that follows the Flames very closely, not an outsider reading stats sheets and catching the occasional game.
Again, why even mention names like Yakupov and Brule and then go even further to mention that he isn't a bad defensive player or a soft one-dimensional player if I never said any of that? Obviously, you had this game plan of attacking me personally and then painting me out as labeling him as a one-dimensional soft player when I never said or implied any of that and now that's backfiring on you, so you're now claiming that you never had that intention in mind.
