You shouldn't use colloquialisms that you are unfamiliar with. "Bullroar!" demands some declarative speech and a countervailing idea, blahblah. Not the simpering and weak assertions "I don't know..." "Perhaps..." "I am not sure..." "I would really think..." and yet another "I'm not sure..." .
If you were trying to disagree with my opinion (which you try and do habitually) you've failed once again.
I got my point across.
You don't know if Hainsey is a standup guy and you have no idea what he is/was going to do with his pending FA status, unless of course your married to him or your his sister or something. Everything I ever heard of Hainsey doesn't translate to what you said. Whatever. I was acutally just trying to be less confrontational, because frankly it's boring trying to debate with most of the people here.
Didn't really care about you term or it's usage. At least I could, if the Federal Goverment insisted, produce the documentation to back up my what I said about Feds. Not sure you could with what you said about Hainsey.

You are so full of blather. The problem ALWAYS is that you DO NOT get your point across. Tell ya what! You go on ignore... you're my first blahblah, thanks buddyboy, I'm done wasting verbiage on you. Ciao!

Reason: I misspelled crappola, i mean blither, err... blather. Oh, bother.
I'm thinking why not package Hainsey with Peca and a mid-round pick to Ottawa for Vermette and Ottawa's #1 next year?
Caveat: I'm basing this primarily on AP's assessment of Hainsey & Peca's worth, Ottawa's apparent willingness to dangle AD, and of their need for a PP QB and someone playoff tested to take Vermette's spot on the roster.
We get a guy who could be our #2 center next season, is versatile enough to play wing as well as center, and a high pick to use to trade for a #1 center or a puck-moving, hard-hitting top pairing defenseman.
I know everyone has a bit of a crush on Campbell/Redden, and wants to throw 7-8 million dollars at them, but I can't justify throwing that type of cash at someone when I think Hainsey is capable of putting up the same kind of stats.
Stats, this season:
Hainsey: 57 GP, 7 G, 21 A, 28 PTS, +2, 13 PIM (26 years old)
Campbell: 58 GP, 4 G, 37 A, 41 PTS, -1, 10 PIM (28 years old)
Redden: 58 GP, 6 G, 26 A, 32 PTS, +15, 52 PIM (30 years old)
I just don't see the type of numbers that would justify paying Campbell/Redden more than double what Hainsey is going to ask for. We could very well have a Campbell/Redden in Hainsey. I'd like to lock him up.
Campbell and Redden are in a different class, and if you look at the last 3 seasons the stats back that up. Hainsey might not ever put up a 40 point season, while the other 2 are perrenial 40/50 pt guys, on top of the fact that they are top notch Dmen in their own zone. Hainsey is a good offensive dman, but below average in our end imo.

How can you say with certainty that Hainsey will never put up a 40-point season? He's well on his way this season - you don't think he'll marginally improve over the next couple of years? The guy is 26 years old.

I can't, thats why I said he "might not ever put up 40 pt's". At the end of the day, its all speculation. Personally, I'd take Russel at 500k over Hainsey at 2.5 mill, and the extra 2 towards other needs on the roster.
