OK, well you are completely ignoring everything that's said during the "evaluation process" of reality. You don't remember the bullying because it didn't affect you. Not to mention the bullying was based on BS that has BEEN PROVEN WRONG.
Here is but 1 tiny example.

And here I thought it was too early in the morning to be drinking that heavily.
Ok knights of the round table... a few questions...
OK, I'll apologize for the knights of the round table comment.
Forgive me, If you dont like my tone and how a carry myself currently also.
You guys quite literally asked for this. You said the things weren't said. Now everybody says wrong things.
Ok.

I mean to be fair, you've basically admitted there's no point to all this. I'm just bummed I haven't been quoted yet.

This is a message board, not a scoreboard.Mason was the worst goalie in hockey his last 3 years here. It was time for him to go. You couldn't even admit to that
* * *
That happens and it's unfortunate. I've been on the receiving end several times myself. Probably most of us have.My contention as to what was said or not said was in response to an assertion that the consensus, majority opinion was that Wennberg was definitely a #1C. It was not. (It was my opinion at the time, but I'm not always representative of consensus.) The topic then shifted to what my opinion was at the time, presumably on a theory that I was objecting to that consensus opinion in an attempt to hide behind the masses - I wasn't, but I suppose I didn't make that clear, so, yeah, okay, sure, we can have that talk too. The whole "everybody says wrong things" bit was, frankly, something I assumed y'all already knew and understood as part of this; when it became evident that this was turning into a general "yeah, but you said X" free-for-all, I brought that out as a reminder.
But yeah. We asked for citation. Citation was presented. And while it is clear that there are plenty of folks who did indeed say that he was a #1C - myself included - it was not the consensus opinion. And that was what I was objecting to. The idea that it was a consensus, or a majority. I mean, I'm flattered if my having an opinion makes it the "majority opinion", but I don't think I deserve that much credit.
Dude just stop. He's not a bust. If he never picks up his game and just plataues exactly where he's at he'll likely have a long career in someone's(very well could be our) bottom 6 at the VERY least a depth player.
He wouldn't be getting 15-17 minutes a night in every situation on the division leading team if he was a valueless bust.
He'd be riding the pine if he was a liability. Jarmo wouldn't keep him on the roster if he couldn't hold his own in the NHL...
Of course Jarmo is going to give him every opportunity to succeed, he's a former top 15 pick who showed 3 solid years of progression capped off with a 59pt season. Every GM in the league probably thinks he has SOME potential left in him. He's only 24 years old ffs. Neither Jarmo or Torts are afraid of scratching or benching players to send a message and if he was as useless as some make him out to be we would have seen it by now.
Buddy, you stop.
While other people have been "fighting" and "attacking" each other in here, YOU are actually the 1 that's said some of, if not THE MOST crazy things about Wennberg.
I quite literally left a lot that you have said out, because its SO RIDICULOUS.

There. Now you're quoted.I mean to be fair, you've basically admitted there's no point to all this. I'm just bummed I haven't been quoted yet.
Because all signs pointed to him breaking out and then he did with a hot PP. Almost all signs pointed to a player on a upward trajectory with a play style that seemed legitimate.
But to say he's a useless player and not good enough to play in the NHL is asinine. He's good enough to not only be a plus player, but to be on pace for another 35-40 pt season. Like that in itself isn't a hard thing to do. Is he the best player in the league? No, but he still has value and holds his own the ice in the best league in the world.

I can't wait for the rage thread when Wennberg gets traded and proceeds to Karlsson.

I find your mention of a Dubi buyout interesting, you're normally a fan. What changed your mind?
Oh that sounds like a challenge to me! Got to up my game!
It could very well happen. He's got the tools, he just refuses to use them. A trade could be the wake-up call he needs.I can't wait for the rage thread when Wennberg gets traded and proceeds to Karlsson.
Nothing. Its sarcasm.
However, 1 thing is true.
BOTH, Wennberg and Dubinsky are "dragging" the CBJ to the same place, the playoffs.
AGAIN

I asked for citation. You provided some. I asked what it supposedly means. You said - 'that people said it.' I showed you where you said it, too. You stumbled around making excuses. Along the way, I asked a question why no one was warning us about him sucking when he was playing well. It went ignored. I also asked about posters claiming victory at different points in time. Also ignored. I pointed out my own posting history on Wennberg. It was ignored by some, belitted by another.
So we took a whole day to prove nothing and evade questions. Seems like a good time to "leave it."
It is what it is.

Im not quite sure whats happening here. Are we really crucifying people for thinking Wennberg could be a number one center after his 59 points in 2016-17 as a 22 year old?

Remember, "playing well" is him racking up powerplay and secondary assists. Some people bought into the hype, some didn't. I personally, have said mainly negative things about him, FOREVER.
To say anything negative about Wennberg during his great season, or many other times in the past, would get you chastised and ostracized.
However, If you really want some negative Wennberg comments, I am sure I could find some. I guess I'll ask in advance, what time frame would be acceptable?
I am just glad we could bring in somebody like Panarin, that he could play with.

I don't know. You set the parameters for the previous "quoted old posts." And never acknowledged my negative post about him from 2013. So I guess, as is typical with your posting, you can make it up as you go.
I asked what it was that we were trying to identify, made a post about it, but it was never answered. And since we're done talking about it now, I guess we'll never know.
