I know that people who are asked about something specific have no problem clearly denying those specifics actions or accusations when they have no truth or nothing to hide. To avoid the truth, people tend to ask questions instead of giving direct answers.

I'm surprised and relieved to see the Rangers had the same 15-15-1 record on this date in 2013.

That team had shit puck luck and shot like 2% through the end of December on the heels of a really tough adjustment period.

It was hilarious to read the takes on that team going into the deadline. It was clear as f*** to most of us that the 2014 team was a decent bet to go pretty far.

I still don’t know how that Philly series went 7. That shit should have been over in 5.

I was at that game 2 against Philly. Up 2-0 in the first and they stopped playing. Easter Sunday.

Yeah everything in a team meeting of this sort is being “hidden.” What’s said in a team meeting STAYS in a team meeting. You don’t go confirming or denying those kinds of questions, people start trying to deduce through process of elimination. ITS PRIVATE. THATS WHAT A CLOSED DOOR MEETING IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
I'd love it if that was the response. "IT'S PRIVATE" is a clear statement of no-access-to-information. Like when a US official says "That's classified." Even in your example of "That’s absurd but it’s none of your f***ing business.” the response starts with a very strong and clear denial by calling the idea absurd. Tro's response non-denial. Imagine if a NSA official was asked if we killed a Russian official and responded "Now why would we go and do that?" instead of "We don't comment on operations" or "Information regarding any ideated, potential, or actual international operations is classified." It's the same human psychology except the NSA official has training.

Actually I read the audiobook 50 laws of power narrated by 50 Cent. But can't say I can name any of the laws. It's just soaked in subconsciously I guess.

i honestly dont think anyone is going to want Mika even at 50% retained, and then he has to waive. we're probably stuck with him.
Agreed it would have to be exception to the rule
to VAN = pivot depth and a bud for fellow swede El.Petterssen
- not even a thought a full pop but max reained to them, no real cost + they unload cap dump
possibly

this ^ is a better shot than not retaining and all the crazy ones asking for high end player coming back this way
