It's pretty disgusting how condescending you're being with personal attacks by claiming that I'm a bathsalt addict or whatnot because you're not explaining the difference in the scenarios I posted. It's gross that you keep continuing this but hey, do what you want.
Oh this is rich...YOU came with the condescending post, you're just mad you got played.
Don't give me that, you want to shouldn't throw stones when you live in a glass house. Don't play the poor victim now. I match energy.
Your new deal argument makes no sense. Did you want PLD just as a rental/2 year thing? Of course PLD needed a new deal shortly, that's a major factor to take into account. And with a career year, you should want him even moreso the next year. You even acknowledged how his age would fit with us, why would the age matter if you were strictly wanting him for something short term?
I never talked about what I would have paid him in any new perspective deal, only YOU did that.
All I talked about was the cost of acquisition.
But again I ask.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH MARTIN NECAS?
I'm trying to understand what this threshold is to give in and overpay a secondary guy like Necas but not a secondary guy like PLD? Sure, you can like Necas more but neither player are likely to be top end players on cup contenders and they are definitely closer in player tiers than they are far apart. But how do you say "I'm okay with 500k extra" for a Necas but refusing to do something similar for PLD's future deal.
It ain't hard to figure out and I've explained it several times, it's not my fault you can't get off the Dubois pack.
I like Martin Necas a lot more than I ever did P-L Dubois, I was never all that interested in acquiring Dubois and I have SEVERAL posts I've made that support this.
Are you going to call me a crackhead now or actually acknowledge this?
You claimed that I would have paid 8M/yr to Dubois, then found some old posts of mine which don't actually say that, but you used to twist and interpret it the way you wanted it to be, when in reality, the only person between you and I who put the words 8M/yr and Dubois together, was YOU.
Not sure if you're joking or not but if we get Carlsson and Bedard, you don't trade for Dubois or give a guy like Couturier money. If by some miracle you can keep that top 6, you use the money for defense help and goaltending since your bottom 6 will essentially need to all be ELCs. Dubois...
