You seem to think that I am in love with McDavid or something. He was a pure upgrade only trade. Id just as soon have kept Thompson, the 1st in 2024, Sprong and Delandrea, but as I was all in, I felt I had to make the move to give myself the best chance possible. McDavid is a great player, but it's not like I'm waving him under peoples noses and crowing about him. He's having a bad start, but what do you expect in that dumpster fire in Edmonton? If you seriously think that Pettersson is worth 3 firsts and McDavid, then I have to seriously wonder at your hockey acumen. Of course I don’t think Pettersson is worth McDavid and 3 firsts. I said that’s what gets you to the table, where I’ll hear you out while you finish up your end a bit. But it’s a close start. And again, remember, that’s including a first for reparations. So, nowhere near as unreasonable an offer as you’re suggesting.

Hey Chuck. Remember you can trade for Sprong back after 1 calendar year.

Uh huh. Reparations? For what exactly.? For every trade we’ve ever made and every time it’s left me with my pants around my ankles. Follow the general format of “guy whose playing on arguably the best team on the league for a player who can’t crack a lottery team’s lineup”. For all I’ve been despoiled, a first is but a pittance of good faith.

Charles, just be glad you weren't dealing with the dread pirate Naidoo, and instead just got a deal done with Daniel.

LMAO so you're saying you aren't smart enough, or informed enough about hockey, or the game you've been playing for decades to make a trade balance decision on your own? You are being taken advantage of somehow? Did I force you to make any of these trades? Or is it just that you see them through the lens of sour grapes because someone got hurt? Please do expand on which deal in particular and what exactly the issue is with said trade, this should be rich.

I'm ok with reversing the deals between Shamrockville and Houston. I should have done a better job protecting the weak from the strong.
To Houston: Shamrockville 1RR 2024 To Shamrockville: Vladislav Namestnikov
--POOF-- Reversed!
Congratulations on your new 1st Round pick Adam!

Well you can’t just do one, either you do ‘em all or not at all. Which means at the very least we need to send a space shuttle to the surface of the Moon, where Rasmus Asplund was last sighted. But if it gets me back Burns and Trenin for Manson and Asplund, I’ll toss in Jacob Peterson for Namestinkov, no problemo.

The consequences of monkeying with the timeline could be most disastrous. Being preoccupied with whether or not one could can blind us to whether or not one should.

WTF? Sprong disappeared at the team prayer meeting and now I only have Morgan Frost.

Sure Chuck, one deal that goes awry, and you're ready to throw in the towel? I had no idea Burns would get traded to Car, I also had no crystal ball that showed me Manson would get hurt, so I traded a 4/4 B I 29 yr old for a 39 yr old 3/3 I that had some offense. Asplund was Trenin on BUF, I can't predict teams trading players to bad situations dude. You got Broissot for a 3rd and a 4th at least.
Time to move on dude.

I think we can (almost) all agree that Chuck has had his tongue firmly in cheek for this entire thread.
It’s a good look. He should model.
Sprong!
