  1. I don't care about the rest of your post, but when we're talking about a scale of 0-4, where 11 of those 15 teams you mention have 0, that phrasing is a liiiiittle bit misleading and dramatic. a team with 1 single sub-50 game draft has more than 11 teams combined ...
  2. what other things have I not been "up to date" on? also, if "up to date" in this context means having my beliefs informed by the conjecture of a fan, I'll happily be behind the times.
  3. if he wants to link a resource that corroborates his belief, I'm all ears. until then, the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour, and tryamkin pulled the exact same nonsense in Vancouver.
  4. if that ∆ was what you're talking about, come on man ... some random person on the internet *THINKS* something happened, seemingly based on no actual info, and we're going to run with it?
  5. nationality has nothing to do with it. a willingness to earn it and not sulk in the meantime is the difference. opportunity is earned though practice and preparation, with good, professional habits, not by being big and skating ok.
  6. haven't quite made it the adverb unit of grade 5 English class yet? I asked where, not when. and no, I'm not tuned in to every little piece of gossip about this borderline nhl player.
  7. you can't sell what people don't want to buy. would you spend a pick on any of those players? nobody has been willing to take baertschi, the best of those players, for free when he's gone through waivers twice.
  8. the guy came in and said "I think we can turn things around quickly." in spite of fans and media spending the first 4 years of his tenure shrieking about every little detail, how he said this but did THAT, yadda yadda yadda, all the guy did was: -give the old core one last playoff shot -do a complete teardown, including moving a bunch of immoveable contracts while having no high value assets -do a complete rebuild through the draft -supplement those picks with savvy trades for role players and complementary players without giving up anything of value -create a new (should be) playoff team that leads their division at the end of January in the span of six (6) seasons. someone find me a comparable scenario.
  9. but when will he stop serving two masters and actually rebuild? I mean, that first rounder in the miller deal could have turned out to be ANYTHING. it could even have been a heavy, two-way sniper with intangibles!
  10. well, considering he's currently in the exact same situation, sulking because he doesn't want to earn his minutes, I'd say don't hold your breath ... yup, diva. where'd you hear that?
  11. I assign no importance to made up lines on a map.
  12. it's an exaggeration in the name of making a point. the point is that you should be able to consistently apply the same logic in varying circumstances, and clearly you can't in this case.
  13. it's not called the "ring of talented hockey players." it's about honour.
  14. no, no I don't. and it sounds like you need to raise your respect bar a little. if there was a dude who could juggle chainsaws but also sometimes had the bad habit of murdering kids, would you respect him too? you can't juggle chainsaws, after all ...
  15. being good at a game for children is not enough to earn my respect, at least not if you've proven to be an ass in other areas.
  16. the point is, I don't know how someone can be a fan of a player they can't respect, and I don't know how people can respect a player who's a piece of trash in "real life."
  17. players without honor shouldn't go in the ring of honour.
  18. the canucks' top 5 scorers have combined for 219 points at the all star break. in 2016-17, the canucks' top 5 scorers combined for 215 ... all season.
  19. tas

    Fire Green!

    there'll always be people who don't have a clue, I suppose ...
  20. I'm pretty sure if he was concerned he'd have his agent request that he get reassigned. he's making 10 times as much money while practicing and learning and improving. he's fine.
