"This news article that completely disproves my point isn't sufficient proof because I said so." - Bcarlo25
I agreed with every word that writer said. It supports my point. It does nothing to support yours. did you not read it kiddo?
Here, let me help you out. This took about 30 seconds to look up. In the last 10 years, there have been four players traded around the deadline that have signed within 10 days of being traded:
Lindholm
JG Pageau
Mark Stone
Bo Horvat
Lindholm is one you could make an argument got as much as a second for an extension somewhat in place. I think it was more like Vaakainanen, valued maybe around a 4th, but whatever. The others? not a chance
1st and a 2nd for Pageau, a 26 year old shut down center on pace for 35 goals? there was no added value there. that's just the price.
Mark Stone, a point per game selke player getting a solid prospect and a second? there's no extra value there. ottawa got fleeced.
Bo Horvat - two way center on pace for north of 50 goals got a cap dump, a 1st, and a pretty good prospect. where's the extra value?
so you can continue to misread writers all you want, lie to yourself about what they said, in the case of seravelli, completely make up what they say, and take their words as you interpret them as gospel....or you can just look at what happens? good? good.
take care kiddo. best of luck in the spring semester.
