Or you find a team with 2 number ones and move Thomas to the 2nd line where he actually belongs.
Wrong.
Look Ace. Fact is on most teams Thomas is a 2C and a on a few he’s a 3C or plays wing.

It’s ok to acknowledge that. Even Armstrong said we value Thomas more than everyone else
:lol:

You brought this up a week ago or so. Someone came with you with facts and you ignored it. Now you bring it up again. :lol:
That's tRollin for ya.

Ace, I’ve got my finger on the pulse of the league. I know what the rest of the NHL thinks of Thomas and his ability.

I’m being generous to him, I promise.

Ok. But how does that support that other teams don’t view him as a 1C?

Nah he's from Toronto. He'd have to want to go to Ottawa for whatever reason. Probably not high on his list.
I don't think in all the years Ottawa has had a team, I have ever heard someone requesting to play there. Pretty crazy when you think about it.
Both Perron and Tarasenko signed as free agents.
That’s clearly not requesting to play there. They signed FA contracts as aging vets.

Easy. Hypothetically, we think he's the 5th best 1C in rhe League. Everyone else thinks he's somewhere between 10 and 15 overall.

We value him more than other teams, but they still view him as a 1C.

If he's a 3C, you should have NO PROBLEM naming 60 centers you'd rather have. I'll settle for half that.

Time to show your work.

Because they’re different words than you’re claiming.

Prove it.

And remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The only team in the league you could say Thomas is a 3C on is the Oilers. You couldn’t name 16 teams (most teams) where Thomas would be a 2C.

1). I already did this last week. Not doing it again.
2). I said he’s a 3C or Wing on SOME teams. He’s a 2C for every team in the league and a 1 on the bad teams.
