Well i apologize for opening and assuming the thread would be more about our upcoming overagers rather then a debate about BBAs rebuilding and how successful they are or arent. And how does it take away from the topic at hand further by me mentioning that? I apologize if I am wrong, cant always be right like some people. Well, to be fair, the topic of the overagers isn't a very complex one, it's essentially, here's 4 options, pick 3, trade one. If you're lucky, you'll get Bishop back (which I'm hoping so you can trade him to Halifax to play with his little brother  ) Yes I agree it isnt very complex. But that isnt the point I was trying to make. People are having this big debate about BBA and their success or lackthereof in peoples eyes, but the thread was about our overagers. And someone telling me i am trying to dictate the conversation and that it takes away from trying to get it back to the topic doesnt quite make sense to me. If anything, does it not try and get it back on topic? |

Thanks for the memo but not every thread on these boards has to absolutely stick to 1 topic. Just post about that topic if you want to add/respond to that conversation. Trying to dictate what others are talking about just makes the situation worse and further takes the conversation away from the topic. Well i apologize for opening and assuming the thread would be more about our upcoming overagers rather then a debate about BBAs rebuilding and how successful they are or arent. And how does it take away from the topic at hand further by me mentioning that? I apologize if I am wrong, cant always be right like some people. So your 1st post...my response..your 2nd post...this is the 4th post about what topic people are discussing. Why complain about people having a discussion? Just move on if you don't like it, or contribute to the topic you're interested in. Thread get off track and end up discussing multiple things all the time. |

You have to admit it's an odd team to pick to compare yourself too. It would be like a Leaf or Oilers fan wanting to experience the success of the Vancouver Canucks or Ottawa Senators when all 4 franchises suck Lol, fair enough. Everyone aspires to be a champion, everyone wants to be Chicago or LA. I think I just have built up frustration reading the Habs boards on HF. There's a really common attitude among that fan base, a black and white extreme of Championship or Bust. There is a grey area somewhere between : [Complete waste of time]-------------------------------------[Championship] , and while not making it all the way over to the right on that chart may be disappointing, I feel like some people don't appreciate the journey, which is most of the fun. Agreed. Montreal fans might be the worst in pro sports for the extreme views. Players go from gold to trash to gold again almost overnight in terms of value. They always want everyone fired due to incompetence, whatever that actually is in todays sporting world... On the flip side I think Toronto fans are currently proving that a rebuild can be completely accepted even if losing is a big part of it as long as they believe the right thing is being done to make their team competitive in the long term. There's almost universal acceptance of how Shanahan has rebuilt the team over the last 2 seasons and that's in a fan base where there's almost always been a huge divide. |

This is your 3rd post and we all still have no idea what you think about the overage situation here. Think about that for a minute... |

I said that I agree with raimu that it isnt very complex in his assessment. I may not have posted but does that really matter. I follow along because I am curious what other people have to say about a given topic and if I feel the need to add then I do. Anyways, this too has gone on long enough so feel free and not respond to it so everyone can get back to whatever they want to talk about. I'm done with this foolish internet arguement haha |

Blainville we're rebuilding this year But hey I guess that fact should be ignored right? They were 14th in the league during a rebuilding season and managed to upset a team in the first round When they "went for it" they never made it to the finals let alone win a championship That has nothing to do with cape Breton or Charlottetown and frankly I am not sure why you chose to attack that post the way you did What exactly did I say that was wrong? Please enlighten me While you're at it show me where I said my team has done it better... I'll save you the time I didn't Pompous hypocrite? Really I never said the fact that they were rebuilding this year should be ignored, I even mentioned, previous to this year, they never really had a rebuild. As for their "went for it" year, they never really did go for it. This is why they were good for so long, because they hardly ever spent assets to load up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall them ever going out and getting a premier guy at the deadline. It's debatable if that's a good or bad thing, but it certainly contributed to not needing to rebuild for so long. As for what you said that was wrong, again, this depends on your definition of success. To call 2 consecutive years as a final 4 team, one of them going 7 games unsuccessful, I disagree with that strongly. And yes, I think you're pompous and arrogant for shitting on that accomplishment. I'm not saying you said your team has done better, but I'd expect you of all people to appreciate that getting to round 3 isn't easy. So getting there 2 years in a row is an accomplishment to be proud of. Didint they get Hudon |

So getting there 2 years in a row is an accomplishment to be proud of. Seriously? This shouldn't be that hard to understand A cape Breton fan posts on his board that he wants to be like blainville because they never rebuild and are always competitive and I respond saying that isn't true and you view this as an arrogant pompous attack on the armada and because I cheer for a team that has never done what they did in not supposed to be able to point that out That's kinda ridiculous You agree they are rebuilding now actually I agree they never went truly all in but certainly they have added players to strengthen their team ... Matteau comes immediately to mind... I'm just not sure why me responding to someone got you on a high horse but whatever To get back on topic for the other guy I think fiore is the only sure thing for overage next year |

I'd like to see us try and get Crete Belize from blainville that kid is unreal I liked his game a lot when the Armada were here after Christmas, I'd definitely call about him They can call about him but my guess would be that he has some type of clause in his agreement to play for the Armada ... I'm guessing by playing the NCAA option at the draft he likely would not want to report to Cape Breton |

Leblanc got invited to the Blue Jackets development camp. Hopefully he gets something out of it

Olivier LeBlanc's name was on their list the other day, today they listed the rosters for their development camp and neither he or ex-Eagle Julien Pelletier are listed? Typo or is he not attending?

IMO.. Leblanc has a much better chance at making it in the pros then Pelletier. Leblanc seems to have more consistency to his game, Pelletier not so much
