DrJockitch Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Not going to jump in an argument but signing him has nothing to do with anything. He is a depth minimum cost player. That has no effect on signing pretty much anyone except for maybe a depth AHL D man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being that you have been sitting in your bullshit for a solid 10 pages, it isn't surprising that you don't smell it. the only thing I stated as fact is that it's common knowledge myers wants to be in vancouver, which it is. I couldn't be any more emphatically clear for everything else that it is merely my deductions and opinions and I don't care if anybody else believes the same things. why on earth would a bunch of people argue against somebody else's opinion when it's a situation where, simply, nobody can be right or wrong at this time?

You then hedged your bets in regards to UFAs signing even though your premise was the Friedman signing proves they've moved on from all UfAs above Friedman in the pecking order. none of that is accurate.

Crabcakes Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 If you can sign a known quantity (ie you know he can play in a pinch) to league minimum, you do it. There's absolutely no risk, financial or otherwise. It's a position that must be filled by somebody and you may as well sign the guy while you're not pressed to be doing something more important. Good bit of housekeeping Allvin!! Smart. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I misunderstood you at first so my bad. I thought you were saying that you could interpret how a minimum contract affects the ability to sign other guys. I was aghast at the thought of telling people that math (salary cap) was up fr interpretation. You would agree that you are assuming quite a bit from something pretty small yeah? There are some pretty reasonable posters (a lot more mature than me lol) who are having trouble with your logic. It’s not just people being antagonistic.

So you could have saved yourself 8 or 9 pages by simply responding, "you may be right, but this is how I feel," instead of defending your opinion as fact. You generally learn these things from those "human interactions" you were referring to, but moreso away from the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
