Sujet: Playing with an unlikely idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Two reasons why Zibanejad gets massively better return than Hall did
- since we can't really tell how well he's gonna play during 2020-21 season, I based the value on 2019-20 season. He was statistically the best goal scorer in the league, and is due to that immensely valuable.
- he's a center. By nature, centers are more valuable than wingers.

Toronto is in a win now mode as well, with good prospects. I don't see how these teams differ from each other, with the exception of COL also investing depth, not only to their top guys. Which one is the way to go, only time will tell, but it makes a TOR fan sound a very much like hypocrite when they're selling themselves as a top contender, but says at the same time that they're not in win now mode.

Money is going to be tough, but as said, this is based on TOR going all out now.</div></div>

just because you're in win now mode doesn't mean you trade all of your prospects away to fill a need that you don't have. They are hoping to keep the window open for many years and throwing away so many future ELC contributors would be a mistake. I would be open to trading one of them, but not both.

Sujet: Bye Mikheyev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BogoNorris</b></div><div>I love how I can admit that that Kerfoot and Mikheyev are better in the regular season than as compared to Bennett, when you can't admit that the Leafs would be better with Bennett than one of Mikheyev/Kerfoot for the playoffs lmao. Remember when Leafs fans thought that Bogosian would be bad for the Leafs, and I laughed at their face, proving I am right again. Mikheyev is starting to look like a useless overpaid player, while Kerfoot is useless while taking stupid penalties lmao</div></div>

I love how you dont even pretend to watch hockey games anymore and know a thing about players you are spending your days obsessing over on here.
Bennett is bad and the box score you read from a playoff run doesnt change that

Sujet: Dunn trade to every team
Alright everyone. These are the Blues' 5v5 time on ice per game numbers from the regular season last year:

1. Parayko 19.25
2. Boumeester 18.37
3. Pietrangelo 18.06
4. Faulk 17.61
5. Scandella 17.16
6. Dunn 14.34
7. Gunnarsson 13.6

Note that Scandella only played 11 games in this sample.

I have hardly watched St. Louis play at all last year, but I think it's fair to say he was clearly a 3rd pairing defenseman. And this isn't a 'our pairings are balanced so the 3rd pair gets more responsibility' situation. There is a <strong>very</strong> clear drop-off in ice time when it gets to Dunn. Additionally, he had the most offensive-zone skewed faceoff starts percentages on the team last year (outside of Mikkola, Walman, and Pouliot, who each played 5 games or less). so it's safe to say he did in fact get sheltered usage.

It's completely fine to have your own opinions on who Dunn is and what he can develop into, but to say he wasn't a sheltered 3rd pairing defenseman last year is simply untrue.

Sorry if being called out like this makes you feel weird, but I'm creeping up on a breaking point with how out of hand and ridiculous some of this has gotten. Please take my words into consideration.

Keeping each other blocked only works if the two of you mutually agree to not engage in third-party callouts. Using this thread as an example, <a href="/users/HatterTParty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@HatterTParty</a> effectively serving as a moderator between you two so you guys can argue via proxy defeats that purpose.

<a href="/users/Ryminister_27" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Ryminister_27</a>, more context in your original post in this thread probably prevents a lot of this current discord from happening: I see your post and its intention because I'm a neutral party but not everyone is going to approach that kind of post with my neutrality. Your post can be seen as inflammatory from a Hawks perspective, even if it's not immediately false. I don't think you handled most of this situation very well up until post #23 in this discussion either: some of your back and forth really only adds fuel to this fire, especially when you're questioning the maturity of other users. Not your place, all it does is get those users riled up.

<a href="/users/ChiHawk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@ChiHawk</a> immediate callouts of other users as a troll will never diffuse the situation. Piggybacking on other users targeting (in this case) Ryminister because you can't directly flame him yourself is wholeheartedly unacceptable. How do posts such as "This guy is a massive Hawks troll" or "or last winning a cup in 66/67 (55 years ago) or reaching a conference finals since 01/02 (19 years ago) :laugh" improve the situation? Now that another user is requesting you stay off of their threads, I'd recommend you start focusing a lot more on how you're posting. Something you're doing is coming off as antagonistic, intentional or not. I don't need you to be all touchy-feely and overconsiderate of other users, but multiple instances of other users wanting you to frigg off is a telltale sign that something's not coming across right.

In all honesty, I'm tired of seeing your guys' names in our report forums. You guys have found every conceivable way this site has to piss the other off in spite of blocking each other. In spite of previous warnings and infractions, neither of you appears to be immediately willing to back out of this. Maybe it's pride, maybe you wholly believe it's all the other guys' fault. As far as the moderators are concerned, you've both been massive jackasses. The only way this gets better is if the two of you just learn to leave the other be. I won't speak for the other moderators, but I'm personally at the point where I'll ban one of you two (or both of you) the next time you guys cross the line. It's juvenile that the two of you have gone out of your way to manage to argue with each other despite having blocked each other.

This place is better off with tenured users like yourselves: despite the differences in opinions and that both of you think the other is a massive troll, both of you are valued users. The two of you combined have nearly 20,000 posts; you guys drive conversation and the development of good ideas when you set your minds to it. CapFriendly loses more than it gains if one or both of you end up banned because of this immature back-and-forth. Make it work before I or any of the other moderators need to make a hard decision.

<a href="/users/exo2769" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@exo2769</a> and <a href="/users/BigOaf69" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@BigOaf69</a>, neither of you two are without fault in this scenario either but I want to let you guys off with a very informal warning. Coming to the defense of your team's honour by way of "but what about the Leafs?!?!?" and similar snark is just about one of the most childish things you can do on these boards. All it does is piss people off and derail a conversation. I don't know how much of your opinions on the matter were swayed by ChiHawk calling Ryminister out as a troll, but you guys cannot be doing that. I know a lot of users do it, and I know bagging on the Leafs is a good time, but neither of those justifies it in the context of on-topic discussion. We're cracking down on it because of how much trolling and flaming comes out of it.

Can everyone just be better next time? None of this needed to happen.</div></div>

I appreciate the insights. I apologize sincerely for the parts I played in continuing the arguing and ranting. Seeing as I started this thread, I certainly shoulder a great deal of the blame and rightfully so. I respect your views on our disagreements and I will take your criticisms into account moving forward. Agains, I sincerely apologize the part I’ve played in this situation.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>I appreciate the post to try to clear things up a bit. My original comment wasn't meant to be harsh. It was an opinion and factual statement that rebuilds take a long time when you don't have a good roster, good prospects, or a good management team (take it from a Leaf fan, we know the pain lol). I can't control how someone interprets a comment, they're gonna read it and believe it was meant to be read a certain way when they have no idea on the tone. As I can see now, we both have the same issues with ChiHawk. That was the point I was getting at. That user interprets my comment because they've already judged me based on my interaction with them before, not how the comment was actually wrote. You can see why I've had them blocked for a long time now. I also find it funny how they say I've been blocked by them and admins have been involved in my behaviour (that part isn't true), but if they had me blocked I don't see why they constantly have to mention that they think I'm a troll. Should just grow up and leave it be. Mature a little.

But to my original post, the Hawks have severely damaged their future. Sure winning 3 cups after 50 years of not winning felt great, but Stan Bowman screwed this teams future. Those cups were all the work of Dale Tallon and Bowman ruined it. They mismanaged draft picks and didn't look at retooling before, the Red Wings were a perfect example of competing but still drafting great and not mis-using prospects. Some people may try to point out that they drafted late because aid workers winning, it what they don't see is look at the success of the guys they picked. Since 2010 I believe it is, they have 2 guys that they picked in the 1st round on their roster. And they've traded multiple guys that they drafted away that turned out good. Teravainen, Danault, Hartman, etc are examples of that. Plus Kevin Hayes walked away for nothing. All of this prolongs a rebuild. Which is what I meant by the original thought.

I apologize for the rest of the unnecessary comments after, it should have went like that but some kids just don't know how to grow up.

Cheers.</div></div>

Thanks for words and insight brother. Personally, I have nothing bad to go off of with you and your opinions are always welcome here. As for ChiHawk, his opinion is absolutely valued and can always be voiced. However, given our exchanges, it’s simply best that him and I stay apart in discourse. There’s no need to slander others in the course discussing hockey. So again, I appreciate your words and I welcome future discussions.

It’s hard to disagree with what you said regarding the hawks either. I’m a huge fan of dale Tallon and couldn’t believe he was fired for a simple mistake while bowman continues to make mistake after mistake. They’ve a had rough time for ten years even growing the odd late round pick, save for Shaw, and that magic has obviously run out. It’s pretty brutal. I will take the 3 cups, but it once felt like the team could have made a decent transition between eras at one time. Not any more.

Be well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Everything I said to Exo and to you Hatter is contextual and relevant in terms of The Athletic's post and your post (maybe not to the troll's post as neither did two other guys). All of it is 100% accurate and the last 3 years proves they've been drafting good talent with Dach and Boqvist. You asked for feedback to start a conversation on a PUBLIC website that isn't void of participation by anyone else whether YOU like it or not. If you don't like what I have to say, block me...I actually don't care, or join a forum that isn't public but you certainly aren't going to tell me to "shut the hell up" or try to scold me LOL and I'm smart enough to not do the same to you despite not agreeing with your "godawful negativity" of anything having to do with the Hawks.</div></div>

ChiHawk stop talking to me dude. We’ll never see eye to eye and we both stir up too much **** when we talk. We’re both way too negative in our own ways and neither of us need it. Be well.
