If you could care less, then please do. Participation is explicitly optional.
I don't see it that way. If ten people are sitting around a table and the conversation comes up about favorite ice cream flavors, and I happen to hate ice cream, I'm going to say so. If you respond with "NO YOU HAVE TO TELL ME YOUR FAVORITE" I'd think you were a bit weird and obsessive.

I guess it depends on whether you see this forum as a place where people are gathered to discuss their favorite ice cream flavor, or ten people sitting around a table and the topic of ice cream happens to come up.

By the way, its Oreo.

Wait, I thought we are talking about ice cream. Why are you all of a sudden mentioning cookies?

No one believes that you have to vote in the poll. I think most posters would be fine if you choose not to do so.

If they sign Jagr, the Flames just have to hold a "Mullet Night" promotion. It would have to be an Oilers game, just to troll.

Actually I believe someone may have used bots to skew the results of this poll. The only fair way of dealing with this is by giving Shane Doan 50% of Jagr and 50% of iggys votes.

If I had to choose, it would be Jagr. But my answer is really none of the above, so not voting.

Some CP poster has sure been busy with those poll bots this week. I agree with you, only fair way to settle it is to split the votes with the choice nobody wanted.

Hey, I just realized nobody has mentioned Janko in this thread yet. Isn't that required in every thread that's not about him? Can I pick him instead?

Sign Jagr and Iginla, trade Brouwer for any draft pick.

Jagr because:

(A) Out of the 3, he is the most competent point getter.
(B) He is so close to 2,000 point, I want to see him get there.
(C) The Jagr Flames jersey.....got a little stiff down there just thinking about it, ya baby!!

How did Shane Doan get not one, but two votes?

Jagr is the logical choice but Iggy is Iggy.

D) None of the above

Flames are better off exploring availability of other players via trade if a forward is required.
