The Flames are on the verge of something big. That is what I keep hearing and it's escalating... The latest name possibly coming to town is Willy Nylander...Hanifin would be the center piece coming back

I don't post much cause I really just enjoy reading this site for the valid opinions and news. Can we not do this? I notice it happening more and more but can people please just disagree without the weird attacks and insults.
Sorry if I sound like a whiner, maybe im just being sensitive. And maybe it is just summer but im noticing it here more and more. People on the internet are still people, you can disagree without the vitriol.

Grain of salt time again, but Rob Ellis of NHL Trade Rumor (???) says the Bruins have been linked to Mikael Backlund, and proposes that the trade would be Backlund (25% retained), and a 2024 3rd for Jake Debrusk.

No, it's your opinion that the team was garbage. The fact is that half the teams in the league did not make the playoffs. Are you saying that half the teams in the league every season are garbage? Because that's a pretty bold opinion, and by no means a fact.

No, that is your guess. It is, to be precise, a counterfactual, a statement about something that is already known not to be a fact, so it is twice removed from being a fact. It is, as they say, ‘not even wrong’.
Fantasy Land is where you think you can state facts about things that never happened.

That's actually okay. Just okay though. Positional DeBrusk doesn't make much sense. Flames still have a plethora of LW.

DeBrusk is younger, but Backlund is the better player, and plays a more important, two-way game. And while DeBrusk is a little cheaper this year, he will be looking for a big raise.

I just can't believe that spurs posts word for word exactly the same as moon did back in the day, and follows and posts about the exact same handful of sports teams on CP, and yet we're still calling him "yikes". C'mon, CP, we're better than this.

The team from a couple years ago with Gaudreau and Tkachuk (Canadian Div) was worse than the Flames last year.
hockey is weird, goaltending is the most important position in the sport

Swap out my "fact" for reality or common sense and the answer is the same. "Fact" you are not capable of understanding what this team really is.

No, the team absolutely 100% is (targeting a bubble team). If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be consistently managing their teams the way they do regardless of who the GM is. We won the division on the backs of Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk, two of which bailed, a hard to play for elite coach (who has now been kicked out), and a once in a career season by Markstrom.
The teams believe the way they conduct business/build teams is good enough. It’s not.

I suggest you guys just agree to disagree.
Make a bet for a $50 CP donation or something. If the Flames get less than 3 playoff wins you win. More than 3 playoff wins he does. If we lose in game 7 it's inconclusive.

I have no idea what you just said there. It's either because English is not my first language, or because I'm getting too old to understand that dielect. I'd be greatful if you could clarify what you meant.
If I understood you right, though I suggest you take a day away from CP. You won't be convincing anyone of anything, especially when you're angry. Such posts only take away from arguments you have made previously.

I only made one post in this argument, and that was to point out that Chonger is in fact stating counterfactuals and not facts.

I wouldn't bet anyone $50 that I am alive. But the definition of ‘fact’ is not subject to the outcome of a bet.
