Thread: 2nd OA is a trap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Arbitrator of truth? What a nice title. I'm gonna use it.

But it's also an impossibility.

There's no such thing as <em>fact</em> on a forum like this, but probably the closest thing to that is the consensus opinion of what is fair and what is not. Because we don't have actual facts, that's in my opinion the thing we should be aiming for, finding a middle ground of what the majority of users think is fair. Ironically that's also the point where you probably get the most negative response, because you get crap from both ends of the scale - those who think asset is worth more, and those who think an asset is worth nothing/negative value.</div></div>

Arbiter of truth. An arbiter is someone who settles disputes. An arbitrator is someone who conducts an arbitration.
** Google definitions, much more concise than mine!

I think arbiter of truth is more fitting.

Thread: Habs Fans want 2OA
I posted this in another thread. Both fanbases are sniping at each other with these pointless ACGM's and just needs to take a breath instead of getting all worked up over local media speculation.

It's basically the same 5 Habs fans here posting different versions of the same unrealistic trade. They don't speak for the fanbase. Anderson's a good player, but he doesn't get you 2OA and MTL doesn't seem to be a match for a NJD trade.

The chatter was that Habs were fielding calls for Anderson, but they weren't shopping him. Hughes reportedly asking more than market value is par for the course for any GM who doesn't necessarily want to trade a player he considers important to his club. If you or I were GM's in this situation, we'd say/do the same thing.

For what it's worth, I don't believe NJD will trade the 2OA. It hasn't been done in the cap era and probably won't happen this year. What Fitz said about listening to calls is just more GM-speak, same as Hughes.

Let's just move on and quit nitpicking and insulting one another. You guys have lots of high-end talent on the roster and should be fun and competitive for a long time. Enjoy it and don't listen/assume that a handful of ppl on a website speak for a whole city.

Take care.
