Every time someone does, you just hand waive it away.
Never saw one thing proving any of those above points incorrect. So keep your delusional opinions. Put the facts to back it up or go away.
Just went back several posts. Who the hell are you talking about and what page is it on? How about just looking at my post your quoted as wrong and actually say what point is wrong and why?
Are you somehow arguing that our 4 teams of the Crosby era didn't add players for the playoff push? Hossa amd Dupuis deal didn't happen in 2008? Guerin and others weren't added in 2009? Hagelin wasn't added for 2016 Cup run? Hainsey wasn't added for 2017 Cup run? Do you have an issue with those points and side with him that Cup contenders don't add?
Or do you think Poulin and a 2nd isn't equal to what we gave up for Zucker and Kapanen?
Or do you believe his point that we would lose much bigger piece in expansion if we added another top 6 forward? I feel we are already going to lose someone like McCann and if we exposed Zucker also because of the new addition would that make me upset? No, maybe for you it does? At least explain what you disagree with.
You go for the Cups when you have a chance and if adding a top 6 helps you do it and don't worry about losing Poulin and a 2nd or exposing a slightly better player for the expansion draft. This core only has a few good shots left. You go for it while you got them playing at a high level. We might never get a core like this again in our lifetime. We already have been blessed with the Mario/Jagr era and Crosby/Malkin era. Might go on a stretch like the Flyers and Leafs and not see a Cup for 40+ years. Go for it while you got it.
