I normally like him, but his "I don't trust Milano's word that's he's going to BC" is garbage.
He just doesn't want to be wrong.

2014 CBJ Offseason Thread III (All proposals, "blog" rumors, speculation in here)
- Thread starter CBJWerenski8

I don't get the Porty hate. I thought this was a good article. Not exactly sure what Porty could write that would make people happy.
What does he know about Milano that he's not sharing with everyone else? Why does he sit in front of his computer with a smug grin and write crap like this? If he knows something, he needs to explain himself or just shut up.
And him working his bad musical taste into every. single. post. is beyond irritating.
I don't like his style....you don't mind his style. Differing opinions. It happens.

Maybe he just appeals to us oldies.
Could be, EK! For instance, I dislike Oller, Dispatch columnist, who strikes me as the kiddie version of what DJA sees in Portzline. As has been said many times, tastes and opinions differ, even among the closest families.

I think Porty is ok. I definitely covet his job, that's for sure. Arace is the one I don't like. He always ends his articles as if he drops the microphone. And he sounds like an idiot on cannon fodder. Seriously, any of us here on HF are more informed than Arace is and could weigh in better on that podcast.

I can't believe you listen to him long enough to be able to form that detailed of an opinion
It's easy to be critical of the media. What I like about Porty is that he tries. We have a pretty good amount of coverage. That is a good thing. I didn't get DJ's comment on the other page. Coming off as the smartest guy in the room? Not sure what that is supposed to mean. He's coming off an confident?
I don't mind Arace. I don't mind Porty. Then again, I don't really trust either of their opinions on hockey. i prefer when they just report, but part of their job is to give us news when there is none. So Porty will speculate from time-to-time. What I could do without is the weekly Q&A with Porty. But that is more because of the people asking the questions than Porty answering them.
I trust my instincts more than Porty's. His 2 year, 10.5 or so contract is probably about right. That is just his guess, but it's not a bad one.
Here's something from Portzline I think we all can enjoy:

I could be wrong, though.

I appreciate the job Portzline does. I think he does a fine job balancing professional integrity (not throwing sources under the bus, etc.) with providing content (calling the Milano move). What I don't appreciate is most of his interactions with fans on Twitter. It seems that over 70% of his interactions are with uninformed people or belligerent fools.
Hope ya'll are having a good offseason.

Common senses would say yes...but this is legalese and union stuff so who knows. I don't have the strength to search the CBA but I'd bet a dollar you can.

Yes. In fact, former CBJ player Chris Gratton was involved in one of these. Philly signed him to an offer sheet from Tampa, Tampa didn't match it and received four 1sts as compensation. Good for Tampa.
Tampa then traded the four 1sts right back to Philly in exchange for Mikael Renberg and Karl Dykhuis. Philly kept the picks and drafted:
1998 - Simon Gagne
1999 - Maxime Ouellet
2000 - Justin Williams
2001 (#23) - traded to Carolina for #27, #225, and a 2002 second-rounder (#34). Tim Gleason was taken with this pick by Carolina, and the 2002 second-rounder was part of a deal that brought Joni Pitkanen to Philly.
Bad for Tampa.

The part that really has to hurt is that they traded Patrick Sharp for Matt Ellison.

No thanks.
Marleau is getting up there in years (34) ... I'm willing to bet that within the next two seasons, Atkinson scores more goal than Marleau.
I said it.
