By my count, TWENTY-SEVEN out of your last 36 ACGMs posted since May 5 -- 75%!! -- have featured a Brandt-Clarke-to-Toronto trade.

Don't you think that your obsession with something that is never going to happen is getting a little unhealthy?

LA can't afford Marner next season let alone this season (even with the retention), LA's priority is in this order: Byfield, Starting Goaltender, Roy Reup or Replacement, Arvidsson Reup or Replacement.

Marner has priced himself out of most competitive markets and would be too expensive to obtain if you want blue-chip prospects and firsts to make retention work. I feel like we have this conversation every week, is this how you approach dating? Is this the wear-them-down method?

Geezus please make it stop.

Kings aren't trading Clarke. And no GM in the league would give up a pick for Kampf and that contract.

Don't you think your obsession with commenting on all my posts is a little unhealthy? Maybe bordering on harassment.

You mean that you think you're entitled to post and I'm not entitled to comment? What is this, Russia?

The real question is why do keep going for Clarke when he is not available.

No I'm just saying that if my posting is "unhealthy" then your commenting is by the same logic "unhealthy" and given that my posting in an obsession around an idea while yours is an obsession around a person. In most instances one of those is worse than the other.

Because I don't believe that he isn't available and you have as much evidence to back your claims as I do to back mine.

When you do something unhealthy, why does my pointing out that it's unhealthy become unhealthy?

If you don't like being criticized for atrocious trades, then you can block my comments or, even better, not burden the CapFriendly community with them. You're like the proverbial orphan who murders his parents and then whines for mercy on the ground that he's an orphan. You are the originator of the problem, not me.

Note that I didn't comment on your two recent posts (titled "Messing Around" and "Realistic") because they didn't include a horrible Brandt Clarke trade. In fact, I almost never comment on your non-Clarke-related comments, either, so stop trying to imply that I'm stalking you. Abhorrence of truly awful ideas isn't an obsession, it's a love of the truth.
