Might be time to explore a more private thread for members only?
Just spitballing, totally Bingo’s call and I can’t speak for Sec but as stated above we’d post it on twitter ourselves if we wanted it there.

Not the end of the world, just might have to limit some of the finer details moving forward.
I would pay a monthly fee to get insider info like this. Will keep the haters out too hopefully.

Perhaps Bingo should declare a Forum Emergency and be the only one to make Executive Posts for the time being........

Given the surface on which the sport we follow is played, something like ICE could make sense as an acronym, as long as it couldn't be confused with another use of it.

This thread always derails itself away from the main intent.

The whole reason it’s interesting is because these insiders are able to share information on a public forum, regardless of the size of the community any comments here are absolutely public and fair game. So the idea that someone was sharing information here without that assumption in mind was kind of naive.

It's the negative nellies like yourself and a few others that derail the tread. Sec and Royale are posting any inside info they have and the vast majority appreciate any info they can pass on.

I come to this thread looking for updates from Royle or Sec. I hope they keep posting anything they know, debating the latest rumours is fun whether they are true or not.

I really don't get why anyone has an issue with them? If you think their posts are BS, move along.

I really enjoyed this Dan Milstein interview, the downside is that it's in Russian, but it has a bunch of tidbits about the agent side of the game, building Gold Star, the Milstein camp, NHL draft, the E. Kane situation, etc.


That's the main Flames related tidbit:
Quote:
So, very often, players already playing in the league end up coming to us, because they feel more comfortable working with us. And it’s not necessarily just Russians. For example, Dan Vladar, a well-known goalie, was friends with Nikita Zadorov. Nikita used to call us all the time with different requests — from getting a restaurant reservation to all sorts of other things. At some point, Dan Vladar said, ‘Oh, you’re calling your agent again — can I talk to him too? I want that too.’ Something like that. And he’s Czech. I signed Dan, and after him came Slovak Martin Pospisil, and then Canadians followed, and so on.

Then Yegor Sharangovich joined the team, along with other clients of ours. Now there's also the Canadian Zane Parekh, who was selected 9th overall at the NHL Draft last year — next year he’ll be playing on that team. Then Daniil Miromanov came over from Vegas. So, somehow it just works out — one player, then another. When you do your job and do it really well, the players are naturally drawn to you and want their friends to work with you too.

Make the insiders CP mods, or semi mods, create a thread that only mods can post in but that is visible to everyone registered and logged in. I’ve seen that on other boards that use the same back end.

The biggest issue with this thread IMO is all the bickering and pointless proposal debates. I really just want news from CP and media insiders about the Flames.

The rest of us can just post dumb stuff in the GDT.

Badgers - I think you cracked the code.

Have an insiders post where only our insiders can post their info and no replies allowed. Then all the knuckle draggers and mouth breathers can spout off grievances in the other thread.

Bingo/mods, possible?

Trade speculation is in the title of the thread. How can debating and discussing trade proposals not be part of that?

You can get a hockey rumors thread... on twitter. This is a place of discussion. Having a thread of only occasional rumor posts is dumb.

Also, as Pepsi pointed out, that thread is likely to die after ~5 posts.

Good, though it doesn't solve the pasting onto twitter etc.

This is such nonsesne. The thread topic isn't "omg info on Twitter is stolen ", it's a trade rumour thread. Personally I appreciate a guy like Royle he has information and when he passes it on he isn't playing games or attention seeking. But everyone has to realize that things from Twitter are continually posted here on Calgarypuck and some posters pretend that information is their own.

The guy on Twitter who everyone is up in arms about (apparently) gives credit back to posters here. This is an open forum and that happening isn't a shock. In fact we used to celebrate when someone got a bit of noteriaty elsewhere.

My twitter is deactivated, I've never heard of this twitter rumour account and I certainly don't know the history between Bingo and
DreDayPucks but nothing he posted that you're quoting goes against the current topic.
