Correct. He was also President of both papers.

That's what you do. It's kind of your thing.
You make statements with nothing to back it up, other than the crazy in your own head.
You ignore what everyone else says that doesn't help you argument.

I guess that's my "Fortune 500" negotiation lesson. Money well spent

I address more than my fair share of replies. But I'm also trying to keep my post count down. I can only reply to so many posts, there's already enough people complaining about me posting.

I don't even know why I'm replying to you. You keep engaging me and it's never productive.

I know. That's the problem.
I, along with many before me have tried to enlighten you on..... You.
And you fail to see it or change in any way.

Gaudreauvertime, there are too many posts between this thread and past threads for me to look through, but would it be fair to say you believe $8M is "fair market value" for Gaudreau?

500 posts in two months has to be borderline unhealthy

Not really. He got his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law, but he immediately became a player agent before getting into hockey operations and other hockey management positions. He's basically been involved with hockey from day one.

Feaster was the lawyer.

This discussion has been going around in circles. Can't wait to finally put this discussion to bed, with Gaudreau signing a long term contract

According to the poll from the previous thread, he voted $7.25M-$7.375M - which is strange. The way he acts make sure it seem like he wants to give Gaudreau much more.

People are now attacking the messenger just because they don't like the message. It's not hard to be a really big fan of Gaudreau, so it's easy to see why G-time is a fan, maybe too much of a fan. I could easily troll any number of you into getting pissy when protecting a player on this team because you're all Flames homers (myself included).

I find it funny that there are those who say G-time is posting too much or what polls he voted on or whatever, because I don't think anyone who's counting the number of posts of another person is really in a position to brag about how cool you are or how loser another person is. You're both losers and probably virgins, lol

Me too. I keep checking it to see if there's any actual news on Gaudreau only to see the same old arguments.

Now I get this is a forum. So in the spirit of discussion, I would much rather read what a Gaudreau-homer has to say because maybe it provides some insight as to what Gaudreau and his agent thinks in terms of wanting 8million or whatever, than having to read 50 people go on about buddy posting too much.

Like we all want Gaudreau signed for 5 bucks AAV and the Flames to win a cup with an all-star roster, so do we really need to have our defense mechanisms hanging out like dramatic teenagers?!?

MisterJoji · 10-01-2016, 11:45 AM

I can't believe I'm going to wade into the murky waters that is this thread but maybe King knows the are currently far apart in terms of AAV but is certain that a deal will get done because he's given Burke/Treliving permission to give Johnny his ask after a certain date. Who knows, maybe Johnny's ask has come down to 7 point something and Treliving wants to squeeze a little bit more out of him but will ultimately cave by a certain date. Pure speculation but that's all any of us has right now. No one here is privy to the inner workings of the negotiation, looking at you Gaudreauvertime.

Dammit, I wanted to be G-Time.

Also, the board counts people's posts, no one is doing it themselves, even the vergiest of virgins. Like the majority of your posts it's rude, abrasive and wrong.

I'm glad I have a fan. Unfortunately for you, I have no clue who you are and can't recall a single thing you ever wrote.

Took the words right out of my mouth. The point of these forums are to engage in discussion and provide varying perspectives and insights. Debates and arguing/discussing points about the topic is all part of it. Seeing the same complaints about a poster and their views for two days is ridiculous and childish.

He'll be singed by the end of next week I think. I'm still not freaking out yet.

I agree with you in principle, but it's simply tiresome and annoying seeing the same poster imposing their same view over and over and over again. A few days, ok. Even a week or two. But it's gotten equally ridiculous and childish that he just can't let it go and seems intent on convincing everyone they're wrong.

tl;dr: we're all a bunch of overgrown children
