<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>You still don't get it. I am honestly trying to explain this.

Imagine creating an ACGM team, and wanting to sign UFA Dougie Hamilton, David Savard, and Zach Bogosian. You now have eight defencemen because you want to play Provorov, Sanheim, and York on the left side, which means you need to "get rid of Hägg". You're not looking to trade Hägg, you're looking to get rid of him. Where are you going to dump him? Which team does everyone dump their crap players to because that team sux, and were expected to finish last in the league that year.

This is a scenario that's repeated over and over, with players like Hägg, or Hickey, or Boychuk, or Niku, or Butcher, or Deangelo. This wasn't about Hägg, this was about yet another ACGM post where the unwanted players were "traded" to Ottawa for picks. So I decided to ask this particular thread starter, "Why do you think Ottawa is interested in depth defenceman Robert Hägg when Ottawa already have seven defencemen expected to be on the opening day roster?" to which you responded making this about Hägg, or Hägg versus Mete, instead of about the question I asked the OP about his reasoning.

This isn't about Hägg, or his p/60, or his size and abilities, it's about the OP reasoning.

This is my last comment about this, and now I don't care why the OP dumped his extra D, or if you finally understand my comment. This was a ridiculous conversation solely because you needed to defend the player, and then your position, instead of actually trying to understand the comments.</div></div>

I never DIDN'T understand your comment. And I do agree, here on ACGM it gets frustrating when so many MTL fans continue to assume Ottawa will give up a pick for Byron, or VAN fans suggest OTT would take Beagle + Eriksson's contract if they toss us a 4th because "you need to reach the floor". When I see crap like that, like you, I call it out. BUT THIS ONE, to me, didn't feel insulting or all that unrealistic. So I replied to your post to discuss scenarios where this move might make sense for OTT. It wasn't a personal attack... like I said, we generally agree with each other on here... thought we might have a fun discussion. Peace.
