2019/2020 Trade Speculation and Rumors 2.0

Well considering Treliving makes the trades, why wouldn't one think he would be a factor exactly? And past GMs losing trades doesn't have any bearing on a trade made today. So if it was a joke, it was a pretty poorly constructed one because it just came off like a bitter fan whining.

Yeah, I tried to Ninja edit; cap dump is too harsh. I was thinking his cap hit was 1.5 million higher.

And Reinhart is going to be looking for something in that same range, leaving him just as overpaid.

He's a complete liability defensively and over the last 3 years, he doesn't even rank in the top 60 among D-men in 5v5 points. In fact, he ranks lower than 120th in 5v5 points/60 which is essentially 3rd pair D-numbers even when you don't take into consideration is brutal defense.

Ristolainen is absolutely a cap dump at his cap hit.

You can save your time and stop replying to me because I really don't care what you say. Anytime I've seen your posts I've been left thinking how britally awful your opinions are, there is a reason I don't bother responding.

It was a comment about our luck as fans when it comes to big name trades in our history-plenty of posters make comments about the same thing when they hear bad trade proposals come up, and they are often way worse in tone than my little post. Why wouldn't one think Tre was a factor? Cuz I didn't say anything about him.

Man, you really need to chill out. For a couple weeks now you've been on tear all over this place. You're taking the usual D*** swinging bravado to a couple levels higher and its bordering on abusive.

Step back and change your dialogue tactics.

Just suggesting how he can save time. And saying he has terrible opinions is hardly "bordering on abusive".

I am sorry that you have no case to rebuttal any of my statistically factual statements that dispute your horrible claims.

Sending love your way because you clearly need it <3

Oh great, another thread going to get locked by the same user.

There's a ton of keyboard warriors out there who sit and wait for the right post to come up to capitalize on to make themselves feel better about their lives.

Again, I'm not a Reinhardt proponent.
However, I would still rather have him over Ristolainen. I also don't think he's getting anywhere near $7 million/year.

I was suggesting he'll be getting the same range as Risto, which is the 5.5 range, which is about 1.5m too much, just like it is for Risto.

Yeah, and you're still insulting posters and causing issues. That should be a big flashing sign that it might not be him that was the problem...

If you run into one #######, you ran into an #######. When you keep running into #######s though...

Who said anyone was an ####### in here? Just said dude had terrible opinions. I literally said nothing about him as a person.

Hey hey... let's let Crown Royal have his fun.

Some people find it easier to bash and insult people when they're clearly not winning an argument and sharing very poor opinions with no evidence to support them.

Sure, Ristolainen might be a far worse player than Reinhart. But Crown Royal isn't going to let evidence change his mind.

I, Crown Royal, support you on your quest to bully your way to still being wrong but personally feeling like you accomplished something.

Jesus Christ. Saying you have terrible opinions is not insulting you or bullying you.

What the #### is wrong with you people?
