"he got traded for moderate positive value" - oldnews' ego. I hope he ends up in the AHL just for the entertainment value of seeing you try to justify the move. most of us here hope that players progress but you want Guber to fail just to support your argument -guntix ego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cap dump on the other hand requires a pick being spent. Significant difference. This reportedly 'unmoveable'/awful contract - has in fact been moved repeatedly at assessed value $4+ for a moderate pick - the not-so-subtle fact 'underlying' that guntrix et al attempt to avoid/run misdirection / misperception. And to repeat - players like 2C Stastny - a 20/20+ center and elite faceoff guy - just went for a 4th (after being rented for 1st, 4th, Foley). guntrix's obstinance in the face of logic, and mathematics is impressive - but the market speaks while we chirp.

Nevertheless, and I repeat, the difference between a 5th round pick and a 7th round pick+Andreas Martinson is negligible. Certainly not worth having a conversation on. 5 minutes ago, lmm said: most of us here hope that players progress but you want Guber to fail just to support your argument -guntix ego I'm not hoping he fails. He did fail. And he keeps failing. I'm just bewildered at the extent to which certain posters are willing to go to defend his play. Sometimes an "okay, I was wrong" is all you need.

I guess overpaid players moving in trades has never happened before... And 20 minutes a night is a great stat and all if he played well, but he hasn't.

If you think a 7th and a dead contract spot is worth more than a 5th you are entitled to that opinion. Definitely not worth a conversation.

I suppose you don't know who that is, either....in spite of your regular residency around here. (A person doesn't need to be 'on twitter' - I'm not - to recognize those two wannabe fixtures) I don't follow JD Burke's musings on Twitter either, these are all just random people to me. I wouldn't mind borrowing material from them when they make a good argument or post a GIF. Heck I have no problem giving you a +1 when you I agree with you either, doesn't mean I like you or endorse your entire existence. It doesn't sound like you aren't on Twitter, you seem way too plugged into who these people are and the history of their 'takes'. I on the other hand just don't give a hoot. Quote I get a kick out of the your subtle-lib, yet nevertheless phobic little edge as well - and you're not the only person to initiate with this kind of little-big-man insecurity where a guy like Gudbranson is concerned - @kanucks25 also finds primary relevence in the 'he's so handsome' thing... in the end, it's a pathetic side shot that says more about you than your target. I have not initiated any conversation into Gudbranson's looks. To put it into hockey context I was likening your obsession with Gudbranson to the love affair AV had with Tanner Glass. Although I can't quite blame @kanucks25 for drawing that conclusion. Whenever a Gudbranson topic comes up I can be sure to find some passive aggressive posts from you, reminds me of pre-teen fangirls of Justin Bieber defending him on the Internet. You do seem to be rather defensive, seems this 'phobic little edge' you mentioned is just another projection. I on the other hand have absolutely zero problem if your crush on Gudbranson is more than just a man crush. I don't really have anything personally against you. You seem like you are an intelligent person but you lack the fortitude to admit when you are wrong. Taking that into account, I would say your constant 'smarmy' insult is again just another projection. I don't claim to be all-knowing, I am a casual fan, by no means is my opinion the be all and end all like you seem to pretend yours is. Sadly you are just another armchair scout like the rest of us, you aren't even at Yost's level and yet you are always here being 'smarmy' and talking down to others. It just reeks of insecurity. Didn't bother reading the rest of your novella length post, no doubt it contained more agonizing and passive-aggressive insults which I just don't want to deal with. Good luck to you, maybe you can use a thesaurus to look up some synonyms, so you don't have to go back to the same 'smarmy' reference, it feels kind of played out. You need some new material, something that isn't 'cookie-cutter', little-big-man. Edited October 9, 2020 by Toews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
