  1. Could you please enlighten me as to the specific problem is?

    This is not a trade suggestion.

    It is not GM talk.

    It is simply using today's trade as setting the bar for other deals if made and comparing them to similar Canuck players.

    Perhaps you could help me with the wording please.

      I would be interested in the response too:)

  2. You can read the message I sent him? That's  okay I didn't do anything that should  be considered bad.

    BTW, I was only just getting started with the statements, it was merely to show that where a trade was never contemplated it  is now being discussed as well as the Sedins talking about retirement and their personal goals.

    As I said the forum is entertainment in and of itself so opinions are sought out and cultivated.

    And I truly do think this management group is missing the bus in the very important areas,   almost   like  they don't  work for the team, but work for the league and just get paid by the team.

    Did you know that the Aquilini's don't own the the team, they own the franchise, the NHL owns the team. That came out of the Coyotes bankruptcy court document's and the secret NHL papers, the constitution and bylaws.

      Everyone here can read them.....you posted to Alf AND to Stealth in the public areas of the board. You are questioning an Admin/Moderator's actions in the public areas of the board. This is to be undertaken via private message.

      *As per the board rules.

       

  3. Why don't you try to start a thread about how it would affect the Canucks IF and OR when the Sedins are traded.

    Something like Life Without The Sedins or something, whether traded injured or retired, only happening earlier than the end of their contracts. Or what happens if they aren't resigned and go somewhere else. The entire subject is ripe with repercussions. Try it in the Canucks Talk forum.

      My way of showing disapproval for thread closures is to minus the moderator who closes the thread.  it's not much, but it's me.

       

      There were several threads about life after the Twins.  There was one I remember that dealt specifically with trading them.  Then another about how our rebuild will truly begin when they are gone.  Another, I think was about how they are too good to allow us to tank.  I wonder if they all, eventually got locked?  Interesting investigation for one of the young, smart computer types.

      I messaged him about 1 minute after, haven't heard a thing.

      Hey it's all about   getting the fans and poster involved, it is just entertainment.

       

      I gave hi some really  long messages, I didn't swear, I didn't say bad things about him/her, I just chatted about  forum content and the differences between the same subject but in two different forums and what those differences are.

       

      You should try to start the thread I suggested.

      Alf obviously has read the board rules and has paid heed to them. It always helps to make sure someone you're messaging is actually online to see your messages and respond in a timely manner. Patience is key. Also mentioned in the board rules. Not mini-modding but pointing out that this need never have been written had you taken the time to read those same board rules.

  4. Why is talk in this forum, similar to the McKenzie thread, a bad thing? Why is talking about the Sedins indicating they are willing to be traded a bad thing?

    I put it there for discussion and how it would relate to the team's (Benning) and their other moves.

    This forum has predictions, speculation and rumours throughout it. Every time someone suggests new lineups, that is speculation, every time someone suggests the outcome of a game that is a prediction and every time Benning makes a move or non move, it is a discussion, every trade ends up being dissected here, cap implications, salary woes, injuries, excuses for not being good, excuses for not doing anything, all are found within this forum.

    Everything I posted in this thread was factual and directly involved what Canuck players are quoted to have said regarding not only Vancouver, but their hockey careers.

    The thread had just started, they are supposed to engage the  reader, to entertain, to get posters to participate.

    Two different forums, one for how it effects the team/players and one for what the team might or could do.

    Quite often one thing that happens is found of both forums with different outlooks and content.

  5. One thread? The other thread is in a different forum and in this one I did nothing more than many other posters when speculating about what the lines would look like. That it got highjacked and you allowed it to be closed isn't changing the difference between the two.

    If only allowed to talk about the interview once then I choose the one you closed off.

    The other had to do with trading the Sedins and the return.

    Thank you

  6. I now have about 4 or 5 trolls that do everything they can to derail the subject of the post to make them about me rather than the subject line.

    Apparently that is okay with the moderators, hence this latest thread that was dealing with events of the day with minimum personal input to start, which got high jacked anyway and then closed off, by you, a moderator.

     

    Why aren't these poster's, whose contributions are mostly ridiculing the author's, be disciplined?

     

    This thread lasted what? 15 minutes? What if I had an entire story line that I was proof reading prior to adding to the thread.

     

    It would be nice to get an answer.

      @TheGuardian_ Honest advice. All you have to do is this: If you want to make a thread because you have a thought or opinion, stop. Think to yourself, is there already a thread on this? Search if necessary (example: draft). Then post said thought or opinion in the already open thread instead of making your own. Problem solved. 

  7. The title was to allow for the next few trades as well.

     

    As far as redundant there are the numerous threads that deal with each trade or move, this was to be an ongoing thread dealing with whether each trade or move and improves the team.

      While I appreciate you had good intentions, trying to create an ongoing thread is difficult on these forums. People create new threads based on what's currently going on and prefer discussions in separate threads for the most part because discussions get lost otherwise.

       

      There are already 5 threads on the trade covering various subjects at the moment.

      How can one post about the quality of the team if each time there is a trade that subject becomes redundant?

       

      I will try to revive an very old post.
