Quoting: Mr_Gardoki
Friedman, while obviously not right 100% of the time, is one of the most dialed-in insiders there is. He's not some local yokel hockey guy or just some fluff rumor-monger like EK on Hockeybuzz.
And your logic about just generating discussion is WRONG. Friedman has one of the best reputations in hockey and doesn't just report on things for the heck of it. You however, know literally nothing about what's going on. Now, I'm not saying your theory won't ultimately play out, but to discount one of the most respected hockey guys in the game because it doesn't jive with what you want is simply ignorant.
For clarity, he didn't say the situation is they will definitely send a bad contract with him in lieu of a higher return. He said it's something being discussed.
I know who Friedman is, I have been around just as long lol
I was not discounting him at all, not sure where you think I did that... I said he could have just been speculating and was maybe not a case of him having inside info on this situation
Reading back on how this conversation started, I simply answered to your question "
what do you actually think they can get for him?"
Then you started to talk about my logic and mention hockey writers, which I am not sure why since it was not really my logic, just a bit of info on what happened with Pinto in the Chychrun negotiations
That's why I still have no idea why you asked me if my "
thought process is as valid as Friedman?"
But no worries, not much else to say on the subject
