I don't get it. Pay sites are worthless if it's going to be DK level news. DK is terrific at what he does, but I don't think there is that much demand.

This is my chat with Dejan last night.. which subsequently got be blocked from himHe blocked me so I cannot see all of his responses.
Dejan Kovacevic @Dejan_Kovacevic 15h15 hours ago
Says a little about human nature that @Penguins deadline day was a total wash, but NO ONE EVER mentions Cole/Bortuzzo heist. Only the other.
@Dejan_Kovacevic @penguins Nice strawman. Getting Cole does not negate giving Despres away for a journeyman like Lovejoy. Smfh.
He blocked me so I cannot see his responses anymore. But it was something to the fact that this is not a strawman argument.
@Dejan_Kovacevic So you still like the despres for Lovejoy trade? Why are these two trades linked? The Pens could have had both.
@Dejan_Kovacevic and you bringing up Cole when discussing Despres is a total strawman.
He says something about show me in print where I said I liked the trade. To which I reply:
@Dejan_Kovacevic 3/6/15 Friday insider you say "I'll applaud mgmt for their work on this trade as well as their thought process."
He says You do find it weird that YOU are telling ME what I think..and I reply back.
@Dejan_Kovacevic Not think. But said. Just admit you supported this trade.
At this point he says ADMIT, you want me to ADMIT that.. See ya, bye.
What a petulant child. He could not have an adult conversation and say ya know what I did support this trade, but in hindsight it was a disaster. Screw off Dejan. So glad I didn't spend any money on his site.
LOL that was you? Funny stuff.
Oh he FULLY supported the trade. Without even looking back, I remember him calling Lovejoy a better skater and better in transition on his site.

Oh, and there was this gem:
What was awesome about last night was that he was clearly trolling, and never in a million years did he expect Despres to score a goal WHILE he was being dickish about things. That's when he lost it and got so desperate that he literally tried to change history while forgetting completely that things you write on the internet are in ink, not pencil.

Seriously, how is that guy a GM.
How in the **** did we trade a 23 year old 1st Rounder for Ben Lovejoy... WTF.
Yup. And he was one of our best trade pieces to fill in the Top 6. Now we have Ben Lovejoy and zero great trade options...
Sutter alone isn't going to get you a great top 6 guy.

There will be "I told you so's" Bet on it
Anyone here still supporting DK is out to lunch. The guy was exposed as a hack, a fraud and a shill with the Despres trade. I deleted his site and could give two cucky's if I ever hear from him ever again.

I can't stress enough how important it is for us fans to be vocal about our displeasure and hatred of the organization's treating of Despres.
If we get the word out in a public way, like Wikipedia (etc., Think of more ideas)(change.org petition?), and the Pens season ticket and game ticket venues, then hopefully this travesty won't repeat itself with Beau Bennett and the rest of our young'ns.
Take to the streets and shout!

It's extremely naive to think us being upset about Despres will change a damn thing. They don't care about our feelings, they care about their money.
And most casual fans don't give a **** about Beau.

Oh I know. I am right there with you in the top of the Despres fan club. I just think it's silly to believe that the Penguins give a damn about how any of us feel about him.

I hurt myself today... To see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real.
Ducks fan here. I am still scratching my head over what flaws Despres could have had to warrant a trade for Lovejoy. I figured he would be an AHL project when we got him, but he has been extremely good and he's 23, 6 foot 4, and playing out of his mind in the playoffs.
What are his flaws.... why is he worth ben lovejoy. I am so confused. Sorry for rubbing it in though.
