Yes, and I'm pretty annoyed about that situation -- but that doesn't mean that certain posters who are inclined towards #hammymath can just repeat a piece of speculation and thereby magically morph that speculation into fact. 1 1 1

MattPie Posted August 28 Report Posted August 28 I can't believe the state of this franchise; they can't even get PTO players to sign here! (Did I do that right?)

What are you talking about? The speculation was from a credible source aka Mike Harrington and no one said this was fact. That’s what a question mark means in the thread title, or didn’t they teach you what a question mark means? Edited August 29 by GASabresIUFAN

The article you linked doesn’t say that.

Odds are that KA had conversations with the Agent which is where the rumor probably came from.
shrader Posted August 29 Report Posted August 29 The real funny part would be if that contract never comes through and then he does wind up with the Buffalo PTO.

A moderator publicly criticizing what a veteran poster painstakingly takes the time to detail day in, day out, adding content to the board. Were you guys posting about Casey when you made this statement? I thought it was supposed to be about the post, not the poster? Obnoxious 1

PerreaultForever Posted September 3 Report Posted September 3 Yamamoto would be worth looking at. Of course he might not want to sign a PTO with Buffalo but we like little fast guys. He could be a utility guy.
