Clearly DrDayPucks is here to troll and provide absolutely nothing in terms of positive contributions.

Buddy boy looks like he's getting off on his own trolling from the posts he's liking.

Perma ban in 3... 2...

Shame, the 1 dip#### ruins it for the hundreds that want it.
Should be easy to find his isp/location and ban his ability to create new accts.
But yes, I can echo how easy it is to get tired of it, when it’s constant and like clockwork.

@sec I’m game to start to a friends group and keep the stuff semi-private on here for those who want it.

At the same time I don’t want to take away from Bingo and crews stuff either, it’s just sad that one lonely idiot can ruin all the nice things, because that’s what he wants.

[Lewis_D]

More like DreDaySucks amirite???

[Caged Great]

I am grateful for all your contributions Sec. it added a lot of fun to the forum. I’m sorry that certain people suck and ruin things for others.

Some of these posts are so dramatic, can you not just ignore people if you don't like their opinion? It is pages of arguing and fighting.

Back to signing talk though... someone mentioned Zary long term at 5.5ish. I think I would be fine with that. I think over 6 is way too much, unless he wants a prove it short term contract first.

I would go 4 years 4.7-5 which walks him to ufa or 2 years 3.5-9 and reevaluate.

I can also see the case to go longer on 6-7 deals as well if both parties like the fit. Dangerous waters.

Just me, or does anyone else just skip/ignore every single post in this thread and just go straight to the Royle, Sec, Diss or Rasta posts?

Wouldn’t it just be easier for the one person causing the issue to act like an adult?

Too general. I like posts by Sandman, Jiri and Badgers Nose as well (and of course some others). Posters that you can have reasonable discussions with.

At this point, the one year age difference is almost meaningless. ANd I couldn't care less if Stankoven's AHL numbers a re a little better. The sizer difference is a better factor at this point.

Coronato, Stankoven, and Zary are all very comparable players - people can choose who like better, but they are all on the same tier at this point.

Similar tier sure but I think most would choose Stankoven over Zary if given the choice. I'd hope he's under 6 on a long term deal.

Yes - Sandman is an absolute gold mine for prospect analysis. Dude is an A++ contributor in my books, he brings a ton of value to this site.

Royale9 is my guy for sure. Love the way he presents his stuff and he seems to have a great source inside the organization. Glad he posts as much as he does with inside info before things happen.

Yeah, Sandman, too. He is a gem with his prospect pieces. Both are huge value adds to the site.

My choice.

Not X stuff. (dgaf)
Not the haters. (Dgaf)

I’ll still be on CP, doing my own thing talking about how much I hate Huberdeau or how I want to tank commander 5 star general but don’t be looking for any scoops of ice cream.

I will refrain from posting cryptic gifs in this thread to avoid any confusion.

Did no one read this post in its entirety?

I read that it is not about the haters but the reaction to the haters and the resulting vitriol. Then everyone jumps on the hater. Not standing up for anyone here but Sec. Let's all just be adults. At least try!

[PepsiFree]

Personally, I stand with the people who can’t ignore the people who can’t ignore the other people and think the people they can’t ignore should just ignore the people they can’t ignore.

That said, the haters who hate the haters who hate the guys who in turn hate the haters who hate them are a compelling bunch as well. If we can come together to hate haters that hate the haters that hate them and stop hating the haters who hate to see the hate haters hating then I think we would all learn something.

But, you're just a guy. Like another ant on the anthill. Just like everyone else reading this.

Yes agreed, one of the best posters on here. And never talks down to people or causes chaos.

Out of thanks, but thanks Rhett!
