Not the point.

For the fact Random2152 would be

I am letting him know that it's actually humiliating to think otherwise. But yeah, please let me know where I was trying to make the Blackhawks Brad Aldrich issue look less horrific through that.

Thread: The owners should be forced out of the league
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Get off your high horse. The entire league is rotten along with most of the owners, and most leagues, and most corporations, and most sports. This happens to young MALE players and everyone loses their minds. But how many times have team office workers and women who work in the league been mistreated, assaulted, harrassed, raped, etc. and no one holds those organizations to the same standard. I absolutely agree that more needs to be done, but to act like this isn't a corporate culture, and sport culture issue, and that it is only the Blackhawks organization, is completely ignorant. I can guarantee you there are many teams with equally or even more egregious cover ups that we don't, and never will, know about, and people who are too scared to ever come forward.

Corporations and profit generating organizations wanted "Citizens United" to recognize them as people when it comes to issues of money, but when it comes to social issues they dissociate and want everyone to believe corporations are just machines with no accountability.</div></div>

I'm actually embarrassed for you by your response to Garak. Seems like you just want a reason to **** on the Blackhawks than advocate for the actual issue at hand.

Here are some examples spanning multiple teams and leagues to educate yourself:

Thread: A lot pans out here obviously
I agree there is still a lot left for the rebuild but you have some weird things here to this not adding up to an accurate outlook.

- Crevier likely doesn’t get his contract renewed at the end of the current season. Even if he does, his shot at playing in the NHL is unbelievably miniscule. Probably the same with Saarela.
- There will be UFA signings each year to some extent. The only one you made is for a player currently playing in the AHL. Loved Hayden when he was here but not sure he is cracking NHL rosters in two years.
- Giving Vlasic too much.
- Entwistle is not a 2nd line player and will not get that contract. 4th line/healthy scratch player at best if he’s even still here in two years.
- Slaggert likely a 4th line type player
- Gajan will not be ready by then.
- Jecho or Hensler will not be in the NHL by then
- What happened to Kurashev? Kaiser? Guttman?
- Safonov could be coming over from the KHL

Feel like you could have picked some better things to pan out. Like one of Hayes, Greene, Ludwinski, or Savoie to make the team. Rinzel or Del Matstro on defense.

Thread: ChiHawk step 2
I would do the EDM trade but I doubt they give up 3 firsts to move Campbell (yes I see the other pieces involved in the trade). Three firsts is a lot for one trade. I'm all about taking the gamble on Vlasic. He has easily been the best from our young defensemen playing this season. I would try to give Nino one less year, especially if you are giving Reichel a two year bridge. You'll have Bedard, Reichel and Korchinski to sign with that one year left of Nino. McDavid will also be a UFA that year and I can see him leaving EDM if they can't even reach the finals. Hawks could be a very enticing option for him in three years. So I'd avoid that third year on Nino. I don't think I'd want to pay Reinhart either. It seems like a contract that we'll be trying to shed after a couple years. I've been thinking about targeting Stamkos this upcoming year if Tampa doesn't extend him. Overpay him for two years and resign him in line with Bedard's next contract. He can become our Pavelski.
