Strickland is fishing for followers is your explanation and it's a weak one. Even in his time on this site, he's never been like that. Ever. This isn't hockeyyinsiderr. He's a respected insider, just like Dreger, who both said pretty much the same thing; Komisarek wants out.

They didn't say it, they assumed it. Same as you.

Do I believe them to be true??? Yes. Do I see anything that is concrete fact (that has been the way it's been presented?) No.

Doesn't Komi not playing, and by default making less mistakes make him better??

Ballard +/- is even with 1 pt... Komi's is +2 with zero points

Komi clearly better defensively

If my calculations are right, if he was in the line up consistently. omg he'd be +2000

6 full pages of arguing about whether or not Komi's "you can trade me to" list is new or not



awesome

Why would Strickland report about a list that's months old unless it was a new one? How does it make any sense for him to report a list that is, by your account, old and from June and then follow that up by saying he would accept a trade anywhere?
- Two_For_Truth

Maybe because it is old and he wants to play and would accept anywhere??

If it were a new list why wouldn't he report that there is a new list, rather than there is a list that exists??

and they concluded it the same way you are... they looked at evidence and said... ya this makes sense.
- Big_Lightnin

No. They are insiders who got information stating that Komisarek wants a trade because he wants to play. They aren't two guys just randomly saying stuff just because it fits.

By that logic, why haven't they started piecing together where Liles can be traded to?

A reporter generating rumors for hits is a weak explanation?

You don't know really know who Strickland is or how he operates do you?

because it supported the hypothesis he was making. period.

that is what he was doing. It was evidence that supported his theory, so he included it in his story.

this is how journalism works, especially in twitter world.

If there were any facts here at all, Dregger would not have worded his the way he did.

cause nobody asked Liles on camera on Thursday if he's accept a trade. They asked Komi.

and poof, a story was born.

It's pretty impressive.

I knew what you were sighing at....hell I even tried to bring up Tlusty in this convo, figured for sure I'd get a topic change...nope. I've come to the conclusion its not about the topic, its about being right or wrong.

i think its safe to say komi would prolly go just about anywhere he would get playing time at this point

I still believe the Leafs and Blues are talking trade. Not for immediate help but to clear the extra bodies.

Noone liked my Brian Elliott for Mike Komisarek trade?

and if Armstrong simply emailed Nonis and said "you interested in XXX" and Nonis replied at all, yes or no, you'd be right.

- Two_For_Truth

You don't really understand how media works do you? You're trying to argue for his integrity but in reality all he said pertaining to the trade speculation is "I am told he will accept a trade anywhere".

That's not exactly a reliable source if you ask me.

The fact that we are arguing about and using him as a primary source enforces my argument much better than it does yours.
