Love the logic... a player who asked for a trade in private won't confirm he did so publicly.... means he requested a trade publicly.

I'm done with this drunk.

I don't drink on Mondays. But anything you need to tell yourself is fine by me. Doesn't change a thing.

Uh huh... love the logic. Person A tells person B something in private and he tells everyone... person A went public.

There goes the Jags season.

We're getting there. What if person A employs person B as a negotiator and person B tells everyone? Is this private?

So you are claiming Garlands agent went public? You are confused.... if he had conversations with people in private about his client, that is still private. Show me where his agent came forth to the media and said Garland requested a trade? Not even PA did that ffs. He said something that lead to speculation... although logically we can assume the private trade request went down.

You started fabricating events no one has confirmed many posts ago. I've tried my best not to call you on that part of the debate but you give me no choice really.

His agent asked for permission to talk trade with every GM in the league with Garland's blessing. That's as public as it gets in the NHL. Simple, not complicated.

Makes me laugh, the reaction when a goalie scores into an empty net or anyone for that matter 😆

Is it? You are claiming conversations between agents and GM's about trades are public....




Private conversations get leaked... but that isn't going public.

You were long ago given an out for the claim that Garland went public. Instead you doubled down with these ridiculous claims. Now there is no such thing as a private business conversation and you can't be wrong then.

Sure there are private conversations. This is not one of them. It ended the moment his agent took it league wide on his client's behalf. Very simple stuff.

Right... reversing what happened. It was PA that gave Garland's agent permission to talk with other teams and PA went public with it. Cat was out of the bag then and there... not the other way around. And again, private conversations between agent and GM are not public... regardless if they later get out....

Proof positive he requested trade
Just like brock

Not quite.

Again, it was Garland that had to give his blessing to his agent before anything happened. He's paying him to act on his behalf. PA went public after his agent's request made their private negotiations league wide knowledge. Not before. There's nothing to lose at that point. He's probably telling other GM's to call Garland's agent if they have a deal.

Stamkos might be available at the deadline, depends on positioning at the time.

They never went public... PA did and anything you suggest is just you firing shots in the dark. You know none of these things... just assumptions and making up scenarios you can't back up. PA went public... that's the only thing that can be confirmed.

Yes they did. They asked an entire league of GM's if there was interest in a trade. It happened. Simple.

Ok I'm gonna drop it here Booner. It's been fun. If you can, watch the Vasilevskiy post game interview from tonight. It should clarify how I feel.

It happened in summer before he even changed agents , then after change it was put out as if it was a mutually beneficial decision between team and player

Blues win sinks the oilers lower, all that winning and still 8 points back, Canucks can gain a point with a win it’s not all bad.

Just had to voice my displeasure over such a silly scoring system.

Give 1.5pts for a win .5pts for a loss in OT. Ya that seems strange also but keeps it at 2pts/game & could still use RW for a tie breaker.
