[PGT] Yep, we’re as soft as toilet paper. Flames lose to bottom feeding Sharks 3-1.

Treliving must have denied Aarongayvey an autograph or something.

Just so I'm clear.

I can't have the opinion that Treliving has been great at RFA signings without doing a deep dive on RFA signings across the league for a period of x years?

That's silly.

Every deal that comes up in Calgary is predicted and estimated by existing contracts around the league. Many of them have come in under what most on this site have expected. That formed my opinion.

Pretty sure you don't get to set the rules on how much work and research I need to do in order to have a differing view than you.

He's toxic. It takes a day of his overly dramatic posts to see that.

Agreed. Aarongavey and Flash Walken are two of the worst posters on here. Completely unreasonable.

Some posters I disagree with a lot but I'm happy to have a debate. With those two I just leave all their posts ignored and just shake my head at their drivel when it gets quoted.

Thank god I'm getting a bit better about actually ignoring the posts from most ppl on my ignore list lately.

I admire your patience in dealing with them Bingo but its wasted on them. They don't listen to logic or reason.

Just to get a little positivity in this thread, can I say how great it is to watch the emergence of Rasmus Andersson? He really showed why he deserves to be a first pairing defenseman, and is given the opportunity to show it without Giordano around.

We haven't this emergence of a defenseman since TJ Brodie. It's very exciting to watch, and I hope he and one of Valimaki/Kylington/Hanifin, whoever has the best chemistry with him can finally solve the new 1st pairing we will sorely lack after seeing quite a regression of Gio.
