I said az close to be a contender. Them missing the playoffs by 4 points should make that an obvious statement. You said they were only contending to be a wild card team not a cup winning but those things could be one in the same. That statement alone makes it seem like you are saying wild card teams are not cup contenders or am I wrong?
You got triggered by me saying az is close to being a contender. They missed the playoffs by 4 points. Haha get over yourself.
No point in arguing. Like I said they are close to being contenders. Contender for a wild card spot or for a cup can be the same thing. Haha
You also made this all about grammar which again you are saying I’m distracting from the original topic but isn’t that what you’re doing.
You are wrong because being a contender or almost a contender is a lot different than actually being one. My point was that nobody actually considers Arizona a team that has even a remote chance of winning and if you or anybody thinks Kessel would have Arizona as one of his destinations because of a coach, who is more easily replaceable than the player, you guys are incorrect. Players waive their NMC or NTC to go to teams that have a chance to win championships.
It doesn't matter if they missed by half a point. The fact is they missed.
I only pointed out the poor grammar because you wanted insult me and doing so with poor grammar is quite foolish. Otherwise, I don't care if people can't spell lol.
What's dumber than this argument is the notion the Penguins are trading core members when they aren't in a rebuild. They won't be in a rebuild till Crosby isn't playing anymore and there's no way the are going to replace the core players production. The Penguins need to build around the core and improve the supporting staff. They have quite a few bad contracts on the team. I think Jack johnson is terrible but his cap hit manageable and it would be wise to stick it out with him for another season and use him as the person the expansion team takes. Gubranson and Hornqvist should be traded for cap relief and improvement. This I think we can both agree on.
