You're not getting Sunny unless he specifically ask to go to Dallas, which seems like an infinitesimal longshot. And the Blues definitely ain't eating a rinky dink amount retention slot for the Stars. They may need all three for other players.

You don’t think the guy would want another shot at the cup? Sundqvist would be a rental who would have the option on signing wherever come offseason. He’s had two stints with the Blues. What makes you think it couldn’t be three. The cash value is next to nothing for maybe 30 games of split cost. The offered player was to offset the cost.

You seem petty.

Oh FFS. Let me try this one more time.

- Sunny wants to be in STL. The only way he leaves is if he asks to leave, because he rejected other offers to return to the Blues on a minimum deal. And if he asks to leave, which seems rather unlikely, there are plenty of other Cup contenders that are not Blues rivals. And for all he does at 775K, loads of teams will want him. And all that aside, ya know, they are still utilizing him in their own season. Sunny to Dallas is presumably not happening.

- The amount of retention is not the issue. I said nothing about the amount. As I said, the Blues may need all those slots to make other trades. They're not going to do Dallas any favors at their own expense.

Now what is petty about giving you info? You seem overly sensitive to constructive criticism.

This place is a damn mental institution sometimes. People hallucinating everywhere.

If you convey your thoughts proper, they wouldn’t get misconstrued. Now if you were straight forward and said something like “Sunny has stated that he wants to retire here” then maybe you wouldn’t have to explain yourself. Still, you seem petty. I think it’s odd for you to blame the people here rather than accept the notion that you failed in getting your thoughts across, which probably happens a lot for you. Might I suggest you think about how the other side could understand your written word? It could save you time in effort in having to explain yourself.

Muh huh. Sure, bud. It's all my fault and I still (somehow) "seem" petty. Stick with that story.

It's amazing how all the most sensitive gatekeepers on here are always the only ones in the conversation trying to insult and talk about other posters instead of discussing the trades.
