If I recall Boychuk's Twitter habits, that means no one on Twitter is a serious person.
....actually that tracks.

One day I might just write up a big thread for the main board to clear up the Dundon is cheap narrative. Not that i’m ever in the mood to defend a billionaire, but I really hate lazy talking points parroted by ding dongs who want to get in cheap slams against the Canes.

Upcoming name change to Jin Antonic?
If the marketing team cross-promoted with shoresy, we could get siren sounder Jean-Jacques François Jacques Jean.
It’s just facts. Dundon is cheap.
And Miller wants out of Vancouver to get away from all the riots and looting.

"A cheap owner doesn't spend to the cap every he has owned a team, and Dundon has spent to the cap every year he has owned the team, and often uses waivers and IR to squeeze a bit more cap space out over the course of the season to facilitate a deadline addition"
Copy that into notes, paste every time its brought up. Low effort so its not wasting your time.
i've had a screed/dissertation/manifesto kicking around in my head for years that is basically about the "old boy's club" of hockey and how detrimental it is to the game based entirely on a deep and overly-researched comparison of the reactions to two new owners coming into the league - cheap, brash, asshole tom dundon and attractive, vibrant, world-changing terry pegula. literally from day one, dundon has been looked down upon and his practices scoffed at, and even an incredible run of success on-ice has done little to deter his critics. pegula buying the sabres was the second coming. it has taken years and years and years of abject failure for the shine to come off pegula, and i'd still bet most of the hockey 'establishment' prefer him.
and then this pops in my head, so i back away from the keyboard and do something more useful like cutting my toenails.

Sometimes you just have to take a brain dump to clear the pipes for you...not the village people who will never listen.
I say do it for closure amigo.

Spirited debates with people you kinda like: fun, and rare, and increasingly limited to small out of the way forums like this.
Endless arguments with dipshits who can barely read: pointless, and available constantly all over the Internet.

Honestly, I'm with you on this. Sometimes, its worth it to do something like that even if you're the only one who ends up appreciating the result, as the process of putting it together clears your mind and allows you to just move on.
But also, watching the idiot masses tie themselves in knots trying to discount everything you stand for because of your work is its own enjoyment as well. I often have to remind myself that the majority of big market and Canadian HFB posters are the ones stuck in the 90s. scared to take the leap into true social media, like Reddit and Twitter, while for some of us small market fans this is one of the only communities that exists that isn't taken over by some wacky agenda.

Why do I have so much emotional investment in the twitter trade saga every single year. I’m just not doing it this year.

And the response from the usual crowd will always be some version of "Nuh-uh." So I guess if someone's motivated to write their stump speech, then go ahead. (But it won't be worth it, imo.)

I would pay a lot more for EP than I would for Miller, but even still, EP’s contract is currently atrocious for his level of production. 30 points at $11.6?
