RA is one of the all time great Flames. Been a privilege to watch his entire journey.

What were you told? So everyone here can get upset we didn’t get it

Feel free to add something of substance to the discussion. Just because Rasmus says something, doesn't mean you need to swallow it up without any critical thinking, though not many on this board possess that ability.

What you do regularly on this board is not critical thinking
It’s called being an ass.

From what I've seen, you merely possess the ability to be critical without thinking.

It’s such a weirdly intense amount of anger over a decent trade return. I’m not even sure if I like Lohrei and a 1st better than what they got. Panarin is an example of holding a team hostage.

I'm not a doormat for the club like you, that doesn't make my views any less valid.

Calling someone a doormat for disagreeing with you is a classic example of what I’m talking about. All critical, no thinking.

If you actually had a valid argument, this would be a good place to present it. Instead you went straight to name-calling. I conclude that you have no argument.

As for your views being valid: I already know in advance that you will simply take the negative view of everything. If I can tell without even thinking about it what your opinion is going to be, I conclude that you didn’t bother putting any thought into it either. You’re as predictable as a stopped clock.

I honestly don't know.

With Wolf being extended 7 years that doesnt seem to make a lot of sense though.

Does that mean you are the door knob instead.

You can't tell what I'm thinking, you're not telepathic. You're not even smarter than me.

My argument is that Andersson could have done better by the Flames, despite insisting he did everything he could, without (fairly) acknowledging he is really only out for himself, as is his right. You could have engaged with that, instead of being a ####.

Could have made your point without it, but glad to see eating crayons as a kid hasn't held you back from locating and successfully using the bold function.

I can tell whether you've put any thought into your arguments or not, and when your argument consists of calling the other person a doormat, I can tell that required no thought at all and can be dismissed without consideration.

I know a number of people who are smarter than I am. I have not seen the slightest evidence that you are one of them, or that you are anywhere near my level. I think the old dictum, ‘Show your work,’ applies here.

My argument is that Andersson could have done better by the Flames, despite insisting he did everything he could, without (fairly) acknowledging he is really only out for himself, as is his right. You could have engaged with that, instead of being a ####.

Andersson was under no obligation to ‘do better by the Flames’, or to acknowledge that he ‘is really only out for himself’. Apparently you want him to apologize to you for doing business in a businesslike way, instead of pretending that he's a member of your family, or has some similar relationship whereby he owes you special courtesy.

Your argument, in essence, is that your feelings are hurt because Andersson did not meet your unreasonable expectations. That isn't an argument worth engaging with – especially when you yourself were, as you put it, ‘being a ####’ to everyone who disagrees with you.

There you go again. ‘Eating crayons as a kid.’ Such an impressive grasp of evidence and logic!

And yes it is naive to expect fans of the club who developed Fatmus Sandwhichson to kiss the ring on his way out.
