Removing those aspects of the conversation and cherry picking my reply to a specific chain of posts has no relevance without the context.


If the Flames have been trying to trade Bennett and IF other GMs thought he was a mismanaged diamond in the rough, then he for sure would have been traded by now. That was the original point of my post which OP has misquoted.
But you're walking back your statement. You said clearly 30 other GMs didn't have interesting in him, and called that a fact.

Now it's no GMs think he is a mismanaged diamond in the rough ... once again a leap.

Why say "fact" and "for sure" when neither are true?

A GM could easily think he could rehabilitate Bennett, but when it comes to asking price the Flames just won't go as low as they need to be to get the deal done.

Don't think I'm cherry picking at all. You are making claims as certainties that just aren't so and getting called on it.
