Nope. Feel free to repost anything I said. Nowhere did I say I agree with the trade, nor did I at anytime say that Yzerman SHOULD do it. It's not there.
The proposal was mentioned. You and others gave perfectly valid reasons why you didn't agree with it. While not as vehemently opposed to it, and choosing to remain more open minded about it, I agreed with that viewpoint.
The thing is, if the proposal had any validity to it, there would have to be some rationality as to why SY would even entertain such a trade, let alone pull the trigger. What's wrong with exploring that? What's wrong with trying to understand why Yzerman WOULD do it, even if we don't agree with it? What's wrong with creating a debate at a time when there is very little else to discuss?
No one else seemed to be offended by this, I don't understand why you seemed to be.
As hard as I tried, I couldn't come up with any compelling reasons to change your opinion, or anyone else's, presumably. It didn't change mine either. That's fine. That doesn't make it wrong to discuss it.
