To be fair to everyone on this site... This site is based on disagreements. You very rarely see someone comment saying "Oh nice trade. I never thought of that". Everyone pretty much just comments when they have something to disagree on.
I also see way more negative comments on this site than anything. "worst trade ive seen all day"
Constructive criticism is always nice to have but I never get it.
Well said. The best compliments you'll get from other users is to see a similar trade posted a few weeks later, to a rival team.
The most frustrating compliment you'll get is to have a player signed to your favorite team for a contract every bit as huge as you worried it would be, the summer before.
If you're right about something making sense, any lurking pros can't tell you because it would put their team at a disadvantage, and the amateurs can't tell you because we actually don't know.
I enjoy friendly debate because I learn a lot from seeing different sides of things, and it's interesting to hear the variety of opinions on each team's needs and on different players' strengths and weaknesses.
Of the trades above, I think Subban for Subban looks the most realistic...but in about two more years, when Poile intuits that PK is declining, and that Jordan will be a solid top four defender for a decade.
