A true opinion is a view based on a logical thought process. Emotion, hope, are not part of that process.

I don't think you get to decide what makes for a true opinion and what doesn't.
Emotion and hope may not be part of your process, but they are a part of being a fan.
But I'll play.
The logical thought process is as follows:
- The team has a strong record that would be even stronger if not for the COVID swoon
- They have a coach with a record of winning cups
- They have a team who's core is in their prime
- They identified a clear need within their forward group
- They identified a way to address that need for a relatively low acquisition cost given the probability of mid 20s 1st rounders being impact players
- By acquiring that player, they improved both the 3rd and 4th lines, as well as their powerplay.
- That player doesn't just improve their team for this year, but gives them flexibility for the next 2 years thanks to a very affordable cap hit
What is not logical about that?
