Leaf Rumours

Whats the point of trading him (Brent)? You'll likely get a 4th or 5th rounder for him. This guy is a decent foot solider (he thinks the game well, blocks tons of shots, and can chip in on the PK). I say keep him.
 
You say he blocks a ton of shots? He had one phenomenal shift, but I don't see that on the regular.

Cash in.

Hold out for a 1st round pick. If not then just extend his contract. Give him Komisarek money.

1. LOL I highly doubt any team would give up a 1st rounder for Brent
2. He's not worth Komiserak money. He's worth 750-875K/season
3. If Burke signs him to Komistonehands money, that will be his 3rd worst move (behind the Beauchimen and Lebda signings)

For heaven's sake man, learn sarcasm....you're being destroyed without even realizing it.
 
I actually think he's having the laugh on everyone else.

Making those comments on purpose, thinking everyone believes him, and laughing about it on his own.

I still do find it pretty comical, even if that is the case.

Actually thats not the case. Metalleaf is right, I'm not very good at picking up on sarcasm.
 
Well let me help you, old buddy.

If something sounds completely outrageous and unreasonable, ask yourself whether the person might be kidding around.

For example, if I said Beauchemin should be traded for Taylor Hall, but only if Edmonton throws in a 1st rounder, I'm probably not being serious.

Now, if they throw in a 2nd rounder, maybe then it's something they'd be interested in.

See?

Yep. And thanks for the advice.
 
Pronger, for your edification, a basic rule of thumb to follow with respect to this forum is to consider the fact that it contains some of the brightest, most rational (for the most part) hockey minds on the internet, most posters possessing an abundance of knowledge over a whole host of areas relating to the salary cap and CBA, prospects and player development, judging talent, hypothesizing potential trades and line-ups, etc. Basically every scenario imaginable has been considered and analysed to some degree on this forum. We've been posting together collectively literally for over a decade and have gotten to understand each others' nuances, sense of humour, and general attitudes. It's only understandable that you would take a while to pick up on some of the more subtle aspects of the forum, but for God's sake dude use your head for the more obvious circumstances. If someone prosposes a trade or theoretical deal out of exasperation and it is obviously ludicrously one-sided/ridiculous they are likely just venting and being sarcastic. There's no need for you to point out the absurdity.

Does that help, man?
