I'm just saying that if you inquire after high value assets and get warned off because of their being high value, it's kind of a dick move to complain about the price you get quoted afterward. Y'all <strong>were</strong> warned, after all.

An example of a roles-reversed exchange:
CBJ: "We'd like to have Michkov in union blue; what'd it take?"
PHI: "He's a future franchise player; we're not moving him."
CBJ: "Oh, c'mon, don't be like that. Really. What would it take?"
PHI: "Another franchise player - say, like, Fantilli or something."
CBJ: "OMG HOW DARE YOU SPEAK THE NAME OF FANTILLI we'd only offer Dumais and a 2nd tops."

Thread: Sign Lindholm Thin out the wingers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DopeGM</b></div><div>I believe this team has too many wingers. Was reading a Portzline article last night that said the same thing. If you draft Lindstrom, how does he develop into anything but a third liner with all the depth? Catton might bust trying to get through all this depth. You can have too many prospects and players to develop in my opinion.

When I think about teams developing all of the right pieces, and I look at this team, I see a glaring need for defencemen that can suppress the other team. I don’t follow the prospects closely but Silayev looks perfect for that role.

Don’t buyout Elvis! Those extra three years are when the Jackets are going to be great!</div></div>
We do have a lot of wingers, and trading from that strength to build up the defense would therefore be a good idea. But that doesn't appear to be what you've done with this AGM; in particular, that Chinakhov trade is a very poor one for the Jackets. We'd be better off targeting a good defensive second-pairing guy somewhere (free agency or trade) and letting the blueliners we already have in the pipeline develop and force their way onto the team.
