They're different players who bring different elements. In some weird world where we had to pick the better player I'm going with Hammer as well but neither are very likely to be moved. I think though in a world where they want to make a trade and it comes to putting one or the other on the block they may pick Hammer because of what he could bring back.

I'm not saying either are being traded I just think Bieksa is safer than Hamhuis. In no way is it even implied in my post that Hamhuis is/was the problem and should/would be traded. Just that Bieksa is as safe or safer than Hammer. IMO Neither of them are going anywhere.

I think Bieksa is safer on this team than Hamhuis is.

Honestly I'm sure we could come up with his response on our own. It's generally the same nonsensical hate post. Blah blah blah Ahldler...blah blah blah sucks....blah blah blah worst minus in the league

As fans we don't get a lot of things. That's why we aren't involved in running hockey teams.

Somewhere King Heffys head exploded.

Yeah I'm with you on that it's just I'm a little less smug about it maybe. I mean I consider myself intelligent but I certainly have made poor judgments about players and coaches in the past.

So maybe stop using such smug statements like "the intelligent people knew". We're all fans...that precludes us from intelligence.

Yeah except objectively speaking he does have a point.

At this point now that you've posted this like 10 times is it just considered spam?

Told you TOML. You flew to close to the sun on wings of wax and now you wrecked it. Congrats on keeping one of these open for so long.

That's a big reach. It's also not the reason entertainment is in the name. BTW If you're never watching sports again because of this you should probably stop supporting the advertising found on the message boards that are driven by numbers of people visiting the site.

You're going to start losing the crowd here TOML. Pump the brakes, you're going too far. Don't destroy the masterpiece by putting the brush in your rear and farting out lesser art.

nope

I'm not totally sold on Trotz but using Radulov as an argument against him is pretty weak. Radulov was a whiny brat who ran off when things didn't go his way. If a player can't accept that his play is questioned he shouldn't be in the NHL.

Big boys let it go after the game is over.

I mean...thanks ?!?

Sure Easy answer. I don't. If anything you're working for the league by making these theories look insane. Edit:What I wrote here originally was uncalled for and I apologize.

Sure and that's fine. That's where I sit as well I just don't buy every theory regarding it. I don't pretend to be the voice of reason and I don't sit on the leagues side of this. I just don't buy what you're selling and that seems to have made you angry enough to call me grandma for a bunch of posts. Yeah but I only do that because your story changes and came out of nowhere all of a sudden. I mean that's the type of thing I would lay on the table right off the bat. Something stinks. You can call me all the names you want like some little kid losing an argument. In fact you should keep doing it because it really goes to show how strong your arguement is that you have to call me a douche and a scumbag. For a guy who prides himself on being honest you sure don't mind calling people names like you're on a playground. You can go away, you can keep responding. I don't care because you've little to offer other than entertainment so far.

I've very clearly said I sit on the fence here. I just don't take your view and you seem to have this with us or against us mentality. Happened or not, your story keeps changing. I don't even question it when Vansicle says something similar in a response in fact. I absolutely believe when he said it there is truth to it. You're quite clearly telling stories. I mean of course it's my job. I'm actually Gary Bettman. Shh don't tell anybody. You're the reason people think the conspiracy side is just full of nut jobs. There's actually some sound theory to it to be honest, some of which I totally buy.

Seriously no explanation for the grandma thing? Just randomly generated to incite rage? And then you accuse me of having nothing to offer?!? Also your story keeps changing. Is it one guy you can't stand or a group of people. I mean now you're saying one guy but in the beginning you said that you know refs (plural) and that they (as in more than one) are telling you these things. I mean...really.

Lets try not to lower ourselves to personal attacks. Also as a therapist you should probably talk to somebody regarding your paragraph there. You also might want to talk to them about your imaginary ex-ref friend. You also won't find any real refs here; but you know that. If you're looking for refs from kids leagues you may find some. I used to ref high school football for real. But I doubt you want to hear from me right?
