He certainly was consistent in his time here, I'll give him that - consistently wrong lol.
Don't let your disdain for me blind you from the truth on the matter though.

If "he" is me (it's actually 'she',) I said the Devils would be foolish to trade anything of value for Markstrom and I hoped for Calgary's sake that they did. I was celebrating it in the Markstrom trade thread. I brought up - multiple times - aggregate GSAE (roughly zero over four years) compared to the $24M we were paying for it.
If "he" is Dellow, when that account was posting here in 2005 I didn't even know about this forum. If Dellow was still posting here about trade offers in 2024 while or after working for the Devils, that seems incredibly unprofessional.
And I'm not defending Dellow personally, I am hoping to promote the continuation of analytical hockey discussion. If you have developed a model that you think can predict goaltending results (to any degree), I'd love to have a look at it. If the backtesting works then I am very open to changing my mind.
My opinion certainly isn't always the objective one, but I want it to be. I think that by using data instead of shying away from it, we can closer approximate knowing what the objective opinion is.
