That's totally fine; you're entitled to that opinion.

I think his decline is/will be rapid and harsh, and personally I would avoid the player

- AllInForFlyers



Not sure what the basis is for this. You aren't acquiring Ott for his playmaking or goal scoring prowess. He would be acquired for his checking and defensive ability, as well as his toughgness, and for intangibles such as leadership. I don't see why those dkills would decline rapidly.

3 pages later and no one even acknowledged this? They may as well send a carrier up from Norfolk.

All year, as in being on the Flyers roster all 180 days? I'd say 90% he doesn't.

Do you think he'll be a capable player in 4-5 years though?

Shouldn't you consult with your family before making a wager of this magnitude?

How do you wager on a percentage chance? Even if he isn't on the team all year, you left a 10% chance that he wouldn't be. You're right either way :/

Edit: Negotiate for 2 days, settle for 1

I don't know, but I wouldn't signe him for 4-5 years. I would only sign him for 2-3 years at the most. And I don't think he would be happy with the money I would offer him either.

I asked the cat. She just looked at me and wondered when I was gonna feed her. I took that as approval.

Whoa whoa whoa we're wagering on a percentage. I thought we were stating our percentage and then wagering on it coming to fruition. Damn slick Flyers fans, always trying to pull one over on us die-hard soccer fans.
