This thread is very funny.  Talk about a little premature

There is a joke here somewhere but I'm to exhausted to giv'r a proper go.  "Yada yada yada.... it takes one to know one."  Or something along those lines. 

I'll see myself out....

The time code in the notes is wrong. He starts at the 8m mark from what I saw, and he starts with talking about his kid at the 8:45 mark:

 

 

I went by what the Podbean page said. Thanks for fixing it.

Yeah, I started listening and they were talking about video review so I was confused and I checked the time code and it matched their notes, so I figured it was something like that.

I'm still listening right now. He's been mostly talking about Josh for the 10+ minutes. Still going at the 23m mark. It's interesting to hear his thoughts, especially on his development.

 

Edit: Just finished, ends around the 28m mark. So roughly 19m

With respect to this particular trade, it was a fair-value trade for the respective clubs. I respectfully  disagree on how you are considering this trade by going beyond the specific deal by framing the assessment of it in “tribalism” evaluation terms.

I’m not part of any “anti” club. Our GM made a good deal in this case. On the other hand, even with this transaction in the fold I consider KA to be a less than mediocre GM. That’s not an evaluation based on “tribalism”—-it’s an evaluation based on his extended overall record.

I'm referring to a lot of posters, referenced by the post I was responding to, which do not evaluate things that way.

There are posters that do very close to exactly what I described.

And if you got better, you won the trade.  There's just too many posters that refuse to say anything positive, even when they're trying to attempt to.  It's like a phobia.

So, using your logic, if both teams got better, then who won the trade? Both of them? Can you have two winners in such a finite contest?

So, if the Sabres won, who did they win over? Utah?  But, if Utah got better who did they win over? Buffalo?

And if one says both teams improved, is that not a positive statement... about two teams in fact?  I'm confused.

Everyone wins a trade!

I'm confused too.  This isn't difficult if you don't change the discussion.  Are you saying every trade is even if both teams got better?  How would you measure if both teams got equally better.  Wouldn't it be scarce to say both teams got equally better?

The math has to be on the side that one team got better than the other. Or as I'd call it, won the trade.  That's what I think is so difficult for some posters to even suggest.
