Summary of last five pages
I) Bingo is (mostly unfairly) taking a lot of heat for (1) defending the Peters hiring process and (2) his use of advanced stats to say he still can't say Gully was a bad coach (3) his critiquing style of views that differ from his own with respect to 1 and 2
Gullfoss's take: Bingo is getting called out on these topics for three reasons. One - he's been the most passionate defender of Gully and Peters hiring process (fair). Two - because Calgarypuck its his site, he's held to a higher standard (probably not fair). Third - While Bingo is one of the most respectful posters on this site, he sometimes fails to communicate that he has considered posts that fall on the other-side of the debate may have merit before he critiques them. And because his posts are so well thought out, this irks a lot of posters on the otherside of these debates because they feel like he thinks their arguments are stupid
II) Bingo is really bad at analogies
Gullfoss's take: that was a terrible analogy
Meanwhile, there is literally nothing in the last five pages plus that is discusses the trade. My conclusion on the trade is: "looks like a really good move from an asset management perspective, mostly because Lindholm is better than advertised and Hanifin is so young. Gio-Dougie is harder to replace that I thought though, (and the advanced stats suggested it would be really hard to replace them). Gio was clearly the better part of that pairing, but Hamilton added something that none of the other five defenseman aren't yet able to bring"
