You didn't say that at all. You said:

And followed that up by stating you'd then bring Jones back.
This team has the weakest collection of centres in the league, and since returning from injury, Cervenka has put up 3 goals in 17 games as a rookie.
I can't even begin to state how crazy that would be waive him in the middle of the season when we have zero depth down the middle.

I also defined a heart and soul player to you. You have failed to answer where these diving stats are numerous times and instead just "take your word for it".
Just think how that comes across in a debate. Am I supposed to take your opinion as fac because you said so? And after dodging answering it directly numerous times? Good gravy, no.

And I told you that just like we have very different ideas as to what makes up an NHL roster, we have different definitions on what makes up a heart and soul player.
To me, it's not a borderline NHL level talent who has attitude problems and is a known diver.
There are no diving statistics to point to. Either you watch the Flames or you don't... and if you do, you can't tell me you haven't seen the guy dive several times in his limited number of games here. Sticking your thumbs in your ears and ignoring the fact he's done this before is fine. But it's childish.
At the end of the day, I think you have a terrible definition of what a heart and soul player is, and an even more suspect idea as to how an NHL team should be run cutting a promising looking rookie for no reason in the middle of the season.
