You really need to learn what the word “regardless” means bro… FYI it is a sign of low intelligence when people can’t comprehend conditional situations.
If I see bad logic I call it out. I’m not calling Mesar is a bust or saying he will never make the NHL - just pointing out silly logic as I see it. The people I was addressing said that if Mesar fails to make the NHL he can still be considered a good pick. I disagree. Was Kotkaniemi a good pick because he was what we needed?
Where did I say he is a failure because he’s not in the NHL? I said none of the things you are implying.
Stop making up fake scenarios because you’re arguing with a ghost.
There are 4 conditionals in grammar: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
All of them start with an “if”, thus setting the condition.
Examples:
If you treat people kindly, they will think better of you.
If you say sorry for being so critical, he’ll respond better to you.
If he was a better person, he would not take the bait.
If he had thought more quickly, he would have avoided responding.
None of these require the word regardless. I think he wrote regardless of, which is an idiomatic expression.
