See, you have no references, you have no credentials, and then you try to sluff off the fact that you made a matter of fact statement with nothing to back it up with some sarcastic comment. Take ownership....

I guess you're right, there is no evidence to suggest that the two parties aren't far apart. I must have just made that all up in my head. Silly me. I'm sure we'll see a deal tomorrow.

A lawyer? Isn't King a newspaper guy?

Wait a minute, you use one point made by King to support your position then discredit another one that juxtaposes it? Do you see the double standard there? I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't.

See, again. The sarcasm. You have nothing to back it up. None of us know what is happening behind closed doors. So stop acting like you know things.

Start using "I think" at the start of your posts. At least then you have less of a chance of pissing everyone off.

Yes, my bad. For some reason I was thinking he's a lawyer as well.

He contradicts himself that was my point. I believe they are very far apart today. I struggle with any assurances of future events because that's all we have been hearing from Calgary management. Especially when they are "far apart". Like calgaryblood said, he may have been trying to keep everything calm, like we've been seeing all summer.

Yet here we are.

So you used the words of someone who you claim contradicts himself to prove your point? Again, do you not see the double standard in that?

What IS your point Gaudreauvertime? That we should all panic and if we're not...what?

I feel like Gaudreauvertime's keyboard has only one button.

G.O.T. is the rudest, most patronizing and antagonistic poster I've seen on this forum in a long, long time. Scorpion can be annoying, but his heart's in the right place. G.O.T. seems to be here for the express purpose of needling and condescending. Mods, what's the count on strikes here?

Wasn't this suppose to be priority number 1. Hmmm funny way of showing it. 2 weeks from the season and no movements. Nothing to show for negotiating because there hasn't been any for weeks.
I really don't what the popular concensus is Treliving, Gaudreau and his agent are all to blame. Nothing but pig headed attitudes on both sides.

King was being honest about where the negotiations stand. He was being optimistic about when a contract will be signed.

Surely you see the difference?

So you heard him? Or you infer from what another CP poster said they heard. And you know what King's intentions were?

Aaaaaaand we're back to definitive statements based purely off your opinion again. Sigh....

My point is that we're 2 weeks from the season and the sides allegedly still aren't close and aren't talking. That's not acceptable IMO. I have obviously not approved of the way it's allegedly been handled and have been discussing this with others who wish to discuss it in this thread.

Conroy just said during one of the intermissions today that both sides are regularly talking.
