So far we've already gotten more than what Darcy was worth here .

I certainly wouldn't want to confuse you, but to clarify I would want more than a 4th. The only reason their only getting a 4th is because of the circumstances. If this wasn't his last year maybe they wouldn't be trading him. It appears that he wanted a change as this is his final year of junior and I'm sure he wants to break this slump as much as the fans did. I do not agree with some of the negative comments that he wasn't interested, etc. My only point was to remind that scoring slumps happen to much better. I believe you, jamesnorris, were one jumping all over Darcy. Cameron Darcy is certainly not the only one underperforming. I am confident that Darcy will have a strong second half, unfortunately for someone else. I believe firmly that their main problem is not having a couple of core 19 or 20 Dmen, especially when the goaltending hasn't been as expected. Next year we will see the improvement there. You appear also to be a big defender of Dumont. I would assume that in a higher league with more financial resources a change would maybe have been made there.
This is where you confuse me. You say one thing and then immediately contradict it. You say it appears he wanted out but a 4th wasn't worth it and then you go on to say you would have only traded him for a 4th if he was adamant that he wanted out. huh? Of course you want more than a 4th. So would I, so would any other poster, and so would Dumont. That's common sense. It's also obvious that a player playing poorly isn't going to fetch you great value. He got what he's been worth. His attitude, body language, play, and apparently postgame actions have been getting worse lately. The risk of that spreading to the younger guys would far outweigh the return fetched for Darcy to me. Cutting off that dead weight is the biggest asset in the trade. Edit: learn to post properly lol It's not my posting ability, it's your attitude and apparent ability to want to argue and criticize. Oh, and by the way, that dead weight, just got two assists in his first game for Sherbrooke. The goals will start coming too. We all have a right to post our opinion, and disagree, but save the criticism for the mirror.

I do think his value will prove to be worth more than a 4th. I cannot make it any simpler for you.

I still don't care what Darcy does elsewhere, he wasn't doing it here. What's with the constant re posting of your rebuttals ? Apparently it's my attitudes fault lol

The goals only will start coming because of his effort, not because of lucky bounces. He came back and his effort proved he didn't want to be here, his value proved only a mid pack team was willing to even go near him, and his final act in front of a group of fans all combined to tell us he has no desire to play junior this year. We all know he's worth more then a 4th but you refuse to seem to acknowledge that it's only when he wants to play that his value if more then that. If he goes there and does what he did here, then his value is actually fair as he's a cancer who will rip apart a locker room with that kind of effort down the stretch assuming they eventually don't bench him either.

What was his final act in front of fans you speak of? Darcy pissed off big time after the game . Witnessed him firing his helmet , gloves and stick against the wall moments before the Eagles PR Guy told him he was the 2nd star and he had to do the t-shirt toss . Frustration or Unhappiness....or both .

I think Darcy will start scoring as he regains confidence. He had the same number of shots per game, he had the same average of assists per game and he hit an abnormal number of posts. This will play an affect on any player and certainly one who's expected to lead. The more extended a goal slump prolongs, the more the frustration will be for any player. Was he not living up to fan expectations, most certainly not, but I refuse to call him useless. Although I don't condone his apparent actions in front of fans, it's about time that somebody shows some emotion. Also, I do understand that when you only have 1 in 19 games, it does reduce your value. But also, this guy got six assists in his last three games, I'm sorry but you don't get that by not trying. I highly doubt there's any of us posting on here that could do that, little alone play in this league.

For discussion purposes, we basically seem to agree that darcy's problems this year were mostly due to a poor attitude and on most nights, a lack of effort. If he comes around in Sherbrooke and plays the way he is capable of, should we assume that he didn't want to play in cape Breton? Hearing from several people that Darcy hated playing for Dumont and that the feeling was very much mutual.Interesting? Just another kid (for whatever reason) did not want to play here?
