<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>- Don’t mind trading for Tanev at the deadline. But a 3-year deal for a soon-to-be 35 year old defenseman is almost exactly what the Stars did with Suter and it has been a glorious failure. Do not make the same mistake again

- I agree that, if it’s one or the other, Dallas should move on from Pavelski and keep Duchene — that being said, Benn is not Pavelski’s top line replacement, Johnston is. DeBoer has been shifting lines a bit over the last month and Johnston has been his go to 1RW with Hintz &amp; Robertson. He’ll be the replacement for Joe.

- Keep Dellandrea &amp; don’t sign Maroon. Maroon is fine for what he’s expected to do, but losing Dellandrea &amp; his ability to play up and down the lineup, in any situation, would be a mistake. He’s going to be super affordable for Dallas as well.

- Agree that the Stars need a buyout this offseason in order to fit everything under the cap, but I don’t see Dadonov as the right player. The contract they need to buy out is Suter’s.

- HARD disagree that the Lindell-Hakanpää pair has been a “solid pair for a couple of years”. They are both solid on the PK, but as a defensive pairing they are among the slowest and worst puck-possession pairings in the league. If Dallas is keeping them (I’m hoping they don’t re-sign Hakanpää), they each need a defenseman playing with them that can effectively move the puck out of their own end.</div></div>

I agree with this to a degree. Dellandrea can be replaceable if the trade was warranted. I like the Harley-Miro pair, and I would like to see what Nils would look like with a better partner. Buying out Suter would be my choice as well. I question if Nils can put up 20:00 games, since he isn’t used like this. I think that Matheson out of MTL may be a good fit, but it would probably have a high cost.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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.
