Definition: In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts flame wars or intentionally upsets people on the Internet by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] either for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.

classic leafs mentality "these are great players, we dont want them but why wouldnt you?... in exchange for your franchise player of course"

What a load of ****.

To a T

Compelling counter-argument. Rational, level-headed, thoroughly researched.

Like when I said name 10 23 year old players who have a 90 point season and was on pace for 90 this past season. To which you said he has one 70 point season. Most players never score 70 points.

Three of his four seasons have been below 70 points. In his one 90+ season he still finished outside the top ten in scoring. During his "on pace for 90" season this year he finished tied for 18th. I think you're just being overly generous with the use of word elite. Not every star player (and Marner absolutely is a star) is elite. Elite means best of the best, not just among the best.

As for naming all the 23 year olds who have hit 90 points before, you can do your own research on that. I just don't care enough, and honestly don't feel it's a compelling argument. Rob Brown is an example of a guy who had over 100 points when he was 20, but even his own mother wouldn't call him elite.
