No, I think he is just frustrated with the difference between his "admining" style and then Justin and Mikes style. I just think he needs to take a break, come back, and turn the Flames into the contender like I know he can

So your going to trade away your best player for scraps because Malkin didn't get a point in ONE game. This is fucking rediculous. It's come to the point where you're ruining the integrity of this league. The integrity of the league was gone alongtime ago with all the other trades and signings. Just waiting for somebody to hire a celebrity as a coach. Oh wait we are getting close to that. Because of this, I'm voting yes. This tells me you think this league is a joke and you dont give a shit anymore. I hope you get over whatever is bugging you because your a good GM but if you cant... just go now.

when you watch other bad trades and bad signings go through and strong teams get stronger all the time. Sometimes the only way to get better is to get worse. Remember we have no idea of the ratings here. Malkin could be bad becuase he didn;t play this year. Who's to say. Changing the ratings at all changes the game completly. I know in EA if you increase somebody who is a good player at 80 you can actually make him worse by increasing his rating.

I'm almost 99.2% sure that Mikey isn't using a EA or 2K hockey game

Not taking sides, just adding this bit of "no-gray-area-issue" here.

I do have a question for you, do you have (before the trade) an extra 5.6 mil in cap space? If not then your telling me to make yourself better your gonna waive 1-2 players you get from this trade. Also: " Sometimes the only way to get better is to get worse." so your admitting to making a bad trade on purpose?

And I agree, Bruins original question on the Cap issue should probably be acknowledged...

The Cap issue is an Issue now? Are you kidding me? Jersey went over by 9mil to switch teams. Them Nashville goes over to get Kovalchuk to help out Jersey. But it's not OK for me. Sorry I guess I'm just not willing to kiss your ass as much as the rest

When are you going to realize that the trade was two good top six guys for Kovalchuk and excess guys with large salaries? I still got quality back. You are getting shit back.

Sorry I guess I'm just not willing to kiss your ass as much as the rest Again, the switch is different. The question posed to you is if you plan on waiving half of the guys in this trade. You are totally allowed to go over...but whats the plan here?

It isn't, we're still waiting to hear a reason for how you feel this benefits your team. So far we've determined you'll likely have to waive better players or the players you got for Malkin, which makes it a "screw and flew" trade, or you purposely got worse which you admited to (again screw and flew trade). You're angry over stupid signings? The Belfour deal is still likely to be reversed and Florida knows about it. I'm still curious where we stepped over some sort of line you've deemed uncrossable? I think we've done everything to make everyone happy, but you're really the ONLY person on this site that feels differently and you've yet to convince us with a reason why.

Just Cancel the trade. I have spoken enough on this subject. I will keep the players I have and see what happens.

I recognize people will be coming to Cook's defense on a lot of things, but I need everyone here to understand that no one here is attacking him. In any way. He took it upon himself to significantly disagree with us at a level that did not justify his reasoning. This site is not attacking Cook at all, we simply asked questions over a few of his recent decisions.
