Don’t say eye test when you mean points
And said the opposite. You seem to have missed the entire point of the post.
Where did he say the opposite?

I don't remember ever "praising" Marleau. I have no issue with Marleau. I base my opinions of people on what they do. I was fine with Marleau as a Leaf, even if Babcock gave him a bigger role than he deserved. I was disappointed with him after his actions last summer, but respected the importance of family to him. But his actions now prove that his actions in the summer were unnecessary, selfishly motivated, and not for the reasons he gave. It was a scummy move, and I have lost respect for him.Dragging a man’s name down and calling him scum after you praise him only a few years ago.
You can’t say you respect someone for wanting him to be closer to his family then call him scum for doing the same thing. He had a NMC. It’s his every right to do so. In no way in any decision could be considered scum. He was given the right. Do you know Marleau personally? Things change all the time, Have you ever changed your mind about something? You probably have, so are you scum? You are just butt hurt because it affects your team, that’s the reality. Get over it.I don't remember ever "praising" Marleau. I have no issue with Marleau.

If you don't like that reality, too bad.
Marleau making one last kick at the cup bothers you for a quick 1 to 2 month gig?I don't remember ever "praising" Marleau. I have no issue with Marleau. I base my opinions of people on what they do.

He’s leaving his family for a few months, he’s basically gone most of the year anyways. The scenarios are completely different. What you’re crying about is him not waiving at the start of the season, not 3-4 months left of the season.He's not doing the same thing. He's leaving his family.
Actually, Marleau doesn't currently affect my team at all.
Sounds like that's what you need to do.
This did not happen. He did not say that.The guy literally led on the Isles into thinking maybe he would stay on the team long term till past the trade deadline only to say "he made this decision a long time ago"
This doesn't support your position; it supports mine.he’s basically gone most of the year anyways.
lol.This did not happen. He did not say that.
No, he gave them the honest answer, which was that he hadn't decided, but it was a possibility. It was NYI management that made the decision whether to keep him past the deadline or not. Tavares never said he made the decision a long time prior; he said the opposite. This has nothing to do with Marleau or this trade.Tavares literally kept leading Isles fans on into thinking he might yet stay.
so Tavares gets a pass for not deciding when he did and Marleau doesn’t. That’s called being a hypocrite. It was the leafs management to sign him for 3 years and give him a NMC. If they knew that 3rd year was going to be a problem they shouldn’t of offered itNo, he gave them the honest answer, which was that he hadn't decided, but it was a possibility. It was NYI management that made the decision whether to keep him past the deadline or not. Tavares never said he made the decision a long time prior; he said the opposite. This has nothing to do with Marleau or this trade.
Just like Marleau using his NMC rights to dictate where he would go when Toronto decided to dump him for cap space, has nothing to do with his desicision to chase a cup with Pittsburgh now.No, he gave them the honest answer, which was that he hadn't decided, but it was a possibility. It was NYI management that made the decision whether to keep him past the deadline or not. Tavares never said he made the decision a long time prior; he said the opposite.

lol.
Tavares literally kept leading Isles fans on into thinking he might yet stay.
Gans and media were clamoring to trade him before the deadline before he had the chance to walk for nothing and he continually said he might be back and hasn't made up his mind yet and management bought it because they thought they still had a chance to resign him.
One of the few times I ever agreed with Stan Fischler when he raked Tavares over the coals
Ok, but those aren't the answers. Two years later he changed his mind.
I'm posting this just out of curiosity.
San Jose Sharks' Joe Thornton disappointed not to be moved: 'I wanted a shot' - TSN.ca
Thornton did not get moved and yet Marleau did - and I was actually hoping both would be traded together. So what would it have taken for the Penguins to land both had SJ offered them both?
also the IslandersI'm glad the trade thread between Pitt/SJ for Marlaeu can discuss the important issues....John Tavares and the Leafs.
I was worried we would actually discuss the teams/player involved.
