But do you see what you're doing here? When you have a point you want to make, you accept the math, and try to use averages to prove your points.

But, when I said Reinhart averages 20 goals per year because that's what the math says, you dismissed it. When the math says Kane is a 20 goals per season player, actually a 25 goal per season player, you dismissed it. But, then you choose to accept the averages that prove Gretzky was a great player.

You either accept the math or you don't, but you don't get to choose when.

2 seasons is not a proper sample size to determine if a guy is a "proven 20-goal scorer" like you're claiming unless the guy scored 20 goals in both seasons. The 23 goals could have been just as much of a fluke as the 17 goals and vice versa. We simply don't know what Sam is projecting to be at this point unless we look at his points totals and he still hasn't even hit 50 points, either.

Math isn't always something you can use in an argument, sorry. Sam Reinhart scored 17 goals this season. He is not a proven 20-goals scorer. I can't believe this is even an argument.

Boston's management has been a poop show the past 5 or 6 years.

Dion was 25 years old and signed to an albatross, ludicrous contract and couldn't be GIVEN away.

Boumeester was 30 when traded.

All of them were not cheap acquisitions.

Check yo facts bruh.

- BeadyEyedDouche


Just did.

Bouwmeester is 33 years old. He was traded in 2012.
How does Boston's management have anything to do with anything? Trade was made for a lesser return than you suggested.
Dion was a dominant young defenseman in this league when traded, but they weren't even CLOSE to a Reinhart and top6 pick type return.

You asked for examples of high drafted, young defenders who didn't require multiple 1sts with additions. There they are in front of you. Again, you're wrong. I can't discuss issues with people who are wrong as often as you are. Tah Tah "bruh".

Simple reading comprehension plus the fact he's clearly IP banned would prove otherwise but the whole point of the name and avatar was to make fun of him, so you're quite astute.

Poetry sucks and I'll poop in your concrete mix so my feces is forever a part of a foundation.
