"Mommmm, I made a ludicrous proposal & now 'everyone' is dog piling on me..."
Look, you made a horrid proposal, bottom line. You don't get a team's #1D with what you offered, then add in the same team's Captain who's said that he doesn't want to go anywhere (& has the juice to not go). Even other neutral fans are stopping by & bruising their jaws when they hit the floor from falling open at how bad it is (hell, even a few Habs fans have said so). In face of all that, instead of saying "Hmmm, let me rethink this a bit..." You're double, triple, quadrupling down as to how everyone else is dumb by offering their 'opinions' on your 'facts'. The deeper you dig in...the worse it's going to get as even more fans stop by to see what's being proposed here.
Kudos to you for putting out a proposal (seriously), but when you get 'this' much pushback this quickly...there might be something really wrong with it.
