I'm kinda done with all those stupid asshole always complaining instead of trying to dicipher a deal or the breaking point. They would lose their job in a hockey league if they were to disrespect that many players. ... Dammit.
Chiarot 50% vs Othman Garand and Skinner, as if they lost Lundkvist and kravtsov ... hey i'm as far as 50% in my asking price and they still going nuts .... what wrong with them?
Many are young or only casual fans, often early in their experience with capfriendly. They are passionate about their team and ideas, but their opinions aren't necessarily informed.
You have to consider that entire generations were introduced to the concept of armchair GMing by EA, or in discussions with a small group of like-minded friends. They aren't accustomed to having their valuations challenged or considering impact beyond their own team.
It takes an effort to educate yourself with all of the complexities of the league, familiarize yourself with other teams and players, and build a decent frame of reference for player valuations, and that education is ongoing as the landscape is constantly changing.
It's easier to shout someone down and base an opinion on general perception, than to take the time to consider something in discussion.
Don't take any of it too seriously, even if others do. People like to think they have control, when we're really all just here to speculate. Some of us are simply looking to talk hockey, but unfortunately there are larger numbers that see it as some sort of fight and genuinely get upset.
