You also shouldn't expect people to let you get away with being a negative contributor when he is being a positive contributor, even if he has "oil" in the name. It is 100% easier for you to ignore his posts than for other people to ignore yours when your posts may discourage good conversation.

This post is so right!! Anyone posting possible trade options should be thanked as that is what makes things fun and interesting.

I'm poking fun at the matter of fact-ness of his posts and at some of you for gobbling it up, not to mention Oiler fans deserve mocking 24/7. Its also easier for you to ignore my posts FYI.

OilFan is a looooooong time poster here. It's not like he's some troll.

He's been the Bay area for as long as I can remember, and you seem to think all GMs operate in a vacuum. Just because someone is random to you doesn't mean they're a random to the chain of information.

I'm two degrees of separation from a member of an NFL team's medical staff. I'm also like three or four degrees removed from Hollywood actress and activist Angelica Ross (she's engaged to another Trans Rights Activist based in Edmonton). I'm random to you! It doesn't mean I don't have access to information (potential or otherwise) via either pipeline.

Posters questioning Oilfan again haha and Dino out of all of them. I expect better.

[Bingo]

I'm actually stunned that people still feel the need to cut the feet out on people offering what they've heard.

Do you not want to hear these things? Do you only want to hear them if they are 100% guaranteed to happen (which eliminates every single rumour known to man)?

[Jason14h]

Vocal minority strikes again I see

[Gugstanley]

The title even has rumors and speculation. I like to hear everyone's input and don't understand the complaining if the trade doesn't actually happen.

[TheScorpion]

Don't worry, I still remember this one.

there a new rumor for you

Somebody call the rumour police!

Welcome to the club, we’ve all been told we’re fake news, liars, farming likes… you name it, it’s been said.

Put them on ignore and move along.
The trolls usually get banned eventually.
(I’ll add I don’t think Dino is a troll by any means)

No new trade news from me, confident both Kadri and Coleman are moved.
Just far too much interest and I feel the offers will be strong.

What a strong offer look like for the Flames to be willing to sell?

[Calgary Highlander]

I think the Andersson situation is a perfect example of why reports and rumours are always specific to the moment.

The situation is always subject to change.

Insiders thought Andersson was a Bruin. Conroy thought Andersson was a Bruin. Andersson thought he was a Bruin. Until he wasn't.

So it makes perfect sense that the likelihood is strong right now that Kadri and Coleman get dealt. It doesn't mean the info was "fake news" if the trades don't materialize if and when the circumstances change.

[OILFAN #81]

Not even surprised with Dino. He treats people based on who they are a fan of. His response will be something along the lines of “well you are an Oiler fan you deserve it”. I would get that if I was talking them up. My
posts usually don’t have to do with them. Dino has an issue with me because I’m an Oilers fan. Funny thing is I know what board I am on so don’t say anything negative about Calgary. I know the audience. Providing information about the Sharks from people within the organization that I have ties to is what I do.

I have never said “this is happening 100 percent” or I am a member of the Sharks or am the GM. You try and pick fights with your comments.

You should honestly do better. I don’t reply to Dino’s posts because to me they aren’t relevant. Put me on ignore if you have such a problem that I am a rival fan of.

I’ve gotten lots of messages over the years from posters thanking me so I provide information as they appreciate it. My advice for you Dino is put me on ignore if it bothers you. Like I said I don’t even think about or look for your posts. Not sure why you have to be so abrasive in comments because I am a rival fan who for 99 percent of my posts doesn’t even mention them.

[dammage79]

As with all posters who share information they're hearing, thank you OilFan. The team you cheer for is awful and they deserve to collectively stub their toes on table corners in the dark and immediately step on Legos.... In perpetuity, but you're valued, thanks again. Even if the Oilers are noeffingood

Most of us value, your info, it’s always fun, to hear, and speculate.
As far as Dino, put him on ignore. He doesn’t deserve, to hear the rumours. Sometimes they happen, sometimes they don’t. It’s still fun to hear. Keep them coming.

Nephews are the only true insiders.

[ComixZone]

We literally just had a number of the insiders on here effectively verified by Rasmus Andersson, and yet still people feel the need to blah blah blah and question/put them down?

To the critics: Either shut up about it (because no one wants to read it, and it adds nothing to the conversation) or put the insiders on ignore and don’t bother peppering our parenting thread with needless yammering.

No need for this post.

Thanks OilFan for your additions to this board.

Will be interesting to see if news ramps up near the end of the Olympic break
