You need to see the constant massaging of the data here. See, Kassian was counted in the toughness column, despite being a Rochester guy. We lost him and the next one on GoDD's list was Gerbe... because the Rochester guys no longer count because that makes for a weaker case. You can't say you need three things, claim you improved on one, have gained a ton of potential in another, and lost some in a 3rd and still be able to rant as vociferously. So, you just massage the data and crank it out.

Looks like you dodged my point. You claim we got weaker in leadership. That must be because you thought Gausted was an important leader on this team, a team that you routinely run down for a lack of leadership and claim that it is one of the biggest needs WITH Gausted still here. I don't recall you touting Gausted's leadership role. Did I miss that? If you want to totally disregard Cody's leadership potential - that's fine, but calling the situation a downgrade is just suiting your rant and not supported by your previous opinions or by the realities of this team.
-
Yet, everything being reported about Cody is in fact he has a ton of potential in the leadership department. Many fans were counting on him being captain in a few years. Yet you dismiss it out of hand. I don't recall waiving the Gausted leadership flag in recent years and no one has ever put forth the argument that Kassian was going to fill that roll, so really you are skewing your facts to suit your needs. Toronto Maple Leaf fans.

That is not a scenario - that is a wish.

They aren't looking for 3 years worth of that experiment. However, you might have something with the cap floor department, but for those looking to stay above that line - why add Stafford before any other expensive piece? You STILL have to sell Stafford to those teams. Here are the ones within $3M of this year's floor: Winnipeg Jets » $51,784,084 Ottawa Senators » $51,603,676 Nashville Predators » $51,169,477 Carolina Hurricanes » $50,810,131 Dallas Stars » $49,693,775 Colorado Avalanche » $49,094,045 New York Islanders » $48,941,247

If he lives up to his contract then there is no need to get rid of him.
-
Could someone please explain the scenario that would entice a team to take on a $4M/yr salary for the next 3 YEARS for a guy that is fallen so far out of favor? The only thing I can think of is taking on a larger salaried, shorter term albatross in return that can be buried in Rochester. I just don't see it happening o matter how hard y'all wish.

It was used here and the OP edited it out... haha http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/21020-kassian-to-vancouver-for-hodgson/page__view__findpost__p__366866

Not as good. Means something totally different.

I also wanted to thank whoever came up with the phrase "The Concept of Zack Kassian". I'm totally stealing that line for myself and using it in any and all conversations I'm having about this deal. :thumbsup:
-
Compare our reaction to losing Kassian to their reaction. Ours was like a 3 while theirs went to 11.
-
Which goes to show you how much they VALUE Hodgson.
-
I'm not sure what team you watch, but the one I watch changes linemates like an OCDer washes his hands.
-
When the Sabres acquired Bernier - Lindy put him on line #1 the 1st game. I expect the same with Cody.
-
Remember, it's not you - it is everyone else...
-
considering how little I post how is this "typical"? You said you saw exactly the same thing. How is that taking it out of context? The guy makes a statement and you back it up with an example.
-
You brought up an example of Kassian "thinking" because of the "system" alluded to by the previous poster. You said you saw the same thing.
-
So, you actually think a 2 on 1 (or 3 on 1 as per your description) has roots in some sort of "system"? :rolleyes:
-
Hodgson captained his world Jr. team and the Brampton Battalion. Also, throwing out hypothetical scenarios is sorta BS. You can't make up something in your own mind and then use your hypothetical scenario to bolster your desire to kick the current management in the shin. Well, you can - but some of us see it for what it is.

Bump...

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that our fanbase is disappointed for not trading away our garbage for a center. #gottaloveunrealisticfanswhoplayNHL20XXandmaketradesalldaylonginbasement

Unless you know what was said, how can you prescribe the consequences?

Well played. But even then, I don't ever recall considering soda appropriate in the morning and my four food groups were pizza, cereal, ice cream, and chips. I have seen a handful of adults do this over the years where I work (they drink 1/2 a case of diet soda a day from morning until night). Boggles my mind.
-
Kinda like punching myself in the balls... It's just something I would never consider doing as an adult.
-
Tim Hortons or not - diet Pepsi in the morning is nasty enough.
