Bruins sign Dan Ellis, G, to Providence I believe since he's technically a Minor Leaguer you have to physically pick him up, wait a day, then drop him so he'll be subjected to waivers. By the way, good match this week, I just squeaked by 6-5. I played my goalies way too loosely. Nice team you have. |

Ellis must be signed then subject to waivers as he is a Minor Leaguer.

what's so funny? is it that you can't sign Byfuglien after me and then include him in a trade for Carey Price? |

Ouch, stinging words from such a masterful linguist. Never have I heard such a harsh and accurate description of my life. I thank you for pointing out the flaws in my character and my secret self-loathing personality. I admit, I do want to be a loser. However, I suck so much that I keep failing at losing, instead I keep on succeeding in life.
From now on, I will model my life after yours. I will try to be more like you and toss lame and childish insults every which way, put up pornographic pictures on sports websites every chance I get, continue to inflate my ego over such trivial matters as anonymous internet fantasy sports, fantasize about leaving my parent's basement, and (perhaps one day, if you're extra special and wish really hard) getting to touch a girl in real life. Thank you Nos, for giving me something to reach for in my otherwise mundane and socially inept life.

Cutting insults Mark, cutting. You really got what I said, didn't you? In the most simplistic form, sure, what a genius. You also know me so well, especially about my personal life. Did I even bring anything personal up when insulting you? No, not really, so what are you really arguing against? Word of advice, if you're going to call somebody out it's wise to practice what you preach.
PS: I didn't realize the nude female body was "pornographic", what a sheltered life you must lead.

so what are you really arguing against? Word of advice, if you're going to call somebody out it's wise to practice what you preach. If you're going to act arrogant and high & mighty with me and/or other GMs, what do you expect would happen? That we'd bow down and praise you at how well someone else drafted your team for you? That if you pawn off a guy long enough then you'd eventually get something decent for him? Congratulations, you're a great GM! PS: I didn't realize the nude female body was "pornographic", what a sheltered life you must lead. All I know is the majority of people who talk like this and then start topics on trading nuddie pics of pornstars on internet sports forums are either horny 14 year olds or lonely 40 year olds. Either way, you still probably never had a girlfriend and live in your parent's basement. If you're looking for that, then go borrow your parent's credit card, buy some hand lotion, and subscribe to another internet site that isn't this one. I'm just saying, if you are as great as you think you are, then try prove it and act with some more class and be a little more dignified and mature. |

Bringing other GM's into this now? What for? This is about you and I, I have a great deal of respect for every other manager and certainly don't act "high & mighty" unless goaded into a written fist fight just like this one. I call it like it is, take a look at my team now and the team that I was handed, see a difference? As I've said many times before if you don't draft your own team it's a handicap, not a luxury, I would have drafted a better squad.
What about you though? You're nothing more than a cookie cutter clone of every general hockey media consensus harbouring on any given message board. The collective agreement from your peers dictates the moves you make. That is sad. You're a joke, deal with it.
Again with the personal insults to which you have no idea, you don't know me so stop pretending, people who do this are desperate to cling to something when losing an argument so badly they might curl up into a ball in the corner and cry. I didn't insult you in this way or claim to know anything about you other than what I have experienced. When it comes to arguments that is classy my friend.

I'm not trying to bring other GMs into this, I'm just stating you have exhibited (on more than one occasion) a pretty big ego and not just with me.
Also, nice job calling me a "cookie cutter clone." Last I checked, I don't have unlimited time and resources to find out what's up with a certain player, so I'm not afraid to ask for someone else's opinion on the matter or for more information.
Also, when talking philosophically about "the collective agreement from your peers dictates the moves you make," I advise you to (how did you say it?) "practice what you preach" because I'm sure the clothes you wear, teams you root for, things you eat, shows you watch, music you listen to, brand names you buy, etc. are all completely original and outside forces (via media, friends, family, etc.) have never, ever influenced any decision you've made in your life. Thats a pretty bold statement to make if you take the time to think about it. You just complained about how I make personal attacks and then you come at me making personal attacks, too. I'm surprised (well, not that surprised) you couldn't realize the hypocrisy in your original statement since you just attacked me in that same manner.
In the end, all the trades I do/don't make are my call, not someone else's. I make my deals to help my team not only now, but in the future. Offering me one or two 35 year old guys for some of my best young players isn't going to help my team in the long run (I believe I even mentioned this to you). Just because your strategy of forcing a player down my throat didn't work with me doesn't mean you have to be pissed at me for it. When a GM tells you they don't like player X, don't be surprised that your counteroffer X + something else gets rejected.
From my point of view (this may or may not be correct, its just how I have experienced things when PM'ing you), it just seems like you're bitter that I haven't traded any of my top prospects to you. You've bragged before how you want the best young players on your team and I bet its a disappointment you can't get any of my better ones. Since the time you joined this league, you've been bugging me for Price, Harding, and Radulov (among one or two other players). 99% of the time you throw crap offers at me with streaky players and one-hit wonders (wow, I guess Ellis did turn into a streaky backup and not the next Backstrom like you were pimping to me, who'd expect that? Maybe I should just give you Price straight up for him right now?) and then you're shocked when its rejected.
The thing I find most repulsive about you is your frequent arrogant and condescending tone in your PMs. You tell me (I'm paraphrasing, not exaggerating here) how gracious and generous you are for trading "proven" players for "risky, unknown" prospects because your team is so deep that you can take the hit if they don't produce right away. Thanks, but no thanks.
When you finally toss me the only decent offer in an entire year of spamming PMs and I reject it, you start name calling and act like a spoiled brat that didn't get what he wanted. That's not a personal attack based on conjecture or me pretending to know who you are, thats just exactly how you acted towards me. So I suggest you just shut up, stop posting in my team's forum, and try spreading more crap about how great the players you offer are before other GMs realize how bad/streaky they are and that they're "has-beens."
I'm done with this pointless argument. Go ahead and reply if you're that desperate to get the final word in. I just hope other GMs realize your scare tactics and don't fall for them.

It took you this long to reply? What, did you think I wouldn't see it or something? Not much to reply to here since you've fabricated much of what you claim (and you know it) and I don't have the time nor the patience to go through it all but...just for fun, I wouldn't call Nash for Price a low ball, nor a 30 point producer so far this year plus Ellis (who is still undefeated with pretty good stats last I checked) for Harding. What pissed me off wasn't that you wouldn't agree to a deal, but that you got pissed at me and spit in my face for using a tactic that was totally legal within our system. I was straight up with you and told you what I was going to do and you took it badly and pushed your poor sentiment to me for what? Bottom line, you didn't like what I did and claimed foul when there wasn't any to be had. Twist that all you like but I've never once shown anger when it came to a trade we were discussing. Frustration? Maybe, since we'd talk for weeks to no resolution. What sent me over the edge was your total lack of respect. Furthermore, I was merely speaking about the different kinds of risks one could take when talking about proven and unproven players. It's risky both ways. Please stop twisting every little thing to fit your argument. I'm not this demon you apparently see me as, but I am a no bullshit kind of guy. Anyway, I'm finished, and as for the "smiting"...it goes both ways.
