Confirmed with Link: Oilers sign Viktor Arvidsson (2 years x 4M AAV)

[Tobias Kahun]

I love watching a poster make up his mind and then spend the whole year trying to change everyone else’s mind.

I’ve never seen someone get so hyperfocused in what they think is correct and refuse to change or see the whole picture

Or Arviddson could score much at all. 1G. A goal I could've scored yesterday. He even flubbed the first whack at it. Drai did do it all. WTF are you watching?

Need I say more?

Player he doesn’t like scores - explain it away.

OK I'll kneel down and pray because Arvid scored one measly goal. Please tell me where the statue is. How about you take up the bet instead of flapping your gums. If you think the player is making such a contribution than bet on the 20G.


crickets again

Just altered my view on Pods the other day. I credited Corey Perry for a great game just yesterday. Gonna take more than scoring one goal to get me to change my view on Arvid here considering how much we're paying him.

So another for the 20G bet? Sign up everybody. Anybody Wins and I'll wear an Arvid avatar. But I get to choose your new username...

 

[Drivesaitl]

Arvidsson could score in the next 6 games in a row, and rather than just acknowledge that he's playing well, we would likely be treated to a novel explaining it away because the opposition wasn't good, Draisaitl did it all, its easier to play when the weather gets colder, it was a full moon, etc, etc, etc.

LOL logic btw. If something that never happened happens than something that never happened will happen. OK < backs away slowly>

I'm out of the thread unless any of you want to put up on the bet.

4M should equal 20G. Y'all said it would.

20 goals or 50 points IMO.

I’m sorry you are having a melt down because the guy you decided you didn’t like in July scored a goal last night.

Not at all. Are you betting on Arvid or not?

 

[K1984]

Not at all. Are you betting on Arvid or not?

Yes, yes you are.

I am not “betting” on the performance of a player because you’re melting down over him. I don’t bet for or against the performance of Oiler players, on this forum or in real life. I want them all to do well, even if I have my doubts and/or am over some of them.

But whatever, continue your crusades.

 

[Drivesaitl]

20 goals or 50 points IMO.

Sounds fair betting numbers to me. If anybody thinks he gets that.

I don't think he hits either of those targets even with McD out and even with Arvid getting more PP toi. But the 20G would be much harder for him.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Not at all. Are you betting on Arvid or not?

why are you so confrontational over this?

Why are you manically trying to get someone to bet on him against you?

Fragile ego?

Crusades. Hyperbole much?

So you're not believing the player will even muster 20G then? you know, the number Foegele put up for far less $. OK then. Good to know.

He should hit 20 goals if he stays with Drai from here on out IMO. On a line of Podz-Drai-RV someone other than Drai has to put the puck in the net sometimes.

Not at all. But if people want to verbally crap and spar over this and if you look at comments people have then its fair me to ask put up.

I mean look at your comment. "manically" "Fragile ego" while claiming I'm the one being confrontational. I'm being assertive.

Where I come from if you want to call me out on my take on a player than do it up and bet on it. If you don't then don't. Fine.

I'll take the bet and the proviso of with Drai doesn't matter to me .I don't think Arvid hits 20G this season. I just want to lose and then the Oilers win.

But yeah. Agreed, its not ideal, and I've come around on Pods since the fight (wow) but Drai has to be with some players that are potting.

If I lose I have to be whatever Avatar. If you lose I'm not telling.

No you don’t want to lose this bet, you want to win it so you can tell everyone how you’re the smartest guy in the room.

It isn’t hyperbole to describe your obsessions with discrediting anything good certain players do as crusades.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Of course I want to lose the bet. Jebus. I don't care whether you think I'm smart. I know you don't and thats fine with me. If I lose the Oilers win. Makes it interesting? no.

How did your garden grow this year? Did you take up the gardening?

I think we're all wound a little too tight on some of the Oilers stuff.

I'd still have a beer with you and others.

Middle age Christian Crusades or earlier? Its OK to laugh.

Lets not get too testy.

I do Definitely obsess. Yet another NYE resolution to work on but not easy.

That said I could see people might be nervous with me not being too positive about Arvid, and thats fair, I'm not, but the last two players I felt this way with were Connor Brown and Yamamoto. I think Arvid is better than Yama, Certainly better than Brown. but that he ain't worth 4M here.

If we get the bet settled I guarantee I will exit thread. I will anyway. You don't want to bet. Thats Fair.

Have a good weekend!

Some people take satisfaction in telling people they were right far above anything else. Glad you feel a sense of comfort being “right” about Yamamoto and Brown such that you think you can wield it whenever someone says they’re tired of the nonsense.

I’m not one of those people, so I’ll just leave it to you.

Some people like to presume about others. Be that way. In this exchange several times you've had the audacity to presume others thoughts. How that working for ya?

"Wield it"

Like a sword. Crusades? lol

Bye now.

Assertive? you're being foolish. You are on a message throwing around your opinion like it has any weight and challenging anyone who disagrees to a bet, like a school yard bully yelling "my dad can beat up your dad". As if it matters, we are oiler fans here. Why the hell would you actively bet against our players finding success? There's no other explanation except ego here and an overarching need to be right.

and yes, im calling you out. Your pessism over Arvidsson is hilarious, you were against the signing from the start and started throwing fists the first preseason game. We. get. it, you don't need to bring it every game. What benefit does this get you? a big old "I told you so" when/if he gets injured? or we don't win the cup? are you that fragile that you need to be out in front of something?

At the end of the year we won't care that you were right or wrong about a player, well actually maybe we will since you've been so vocal about it, its kind of hard not to remember it. You get any credit or internet cool points for takiing your position or wining your bet if Arvidsson doesn't pan out. All you'll get another disappointing oiler season and another reason for you to complain about something.

 

[Oilslick941611]

No you don’t want to lose this bet, you want to win it so you can tell everyone how you’re the smartest guy in the room.

Its not a bad to make. theres what a 12.5% probability the oilers win the cup this year, so he stands to have an 87.5% chance of being right by betting against the Oilers and Arvidsson.

Kind of takes the wind out of being the "smartest person in the room" when looked at that way doesn't it?

 

[Canovin]

If I recall correctly Hyman had a slow start when he join the Oilers and he was making 5.5M. Give it some time.
