Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition

I used the phrase "generational talent" because the airt used it, it was already pretty clear what they meant without nitpicking and arguing over semantics, and I didn't want to start wank about what a generational talent is and WHO is a generational talent, especially when the players under discussion were Kane, Toews, Crosby, and Malkin. I believe that you meant well by your comment but it comes off as really condescending -- I don't think that people who got into a long argument about the minutiae of rebuilds needed it explained that Crosby and McDavid are rare players and better than other players.

To be fair to the AYRT, I meant it somewhere between how you are both interpreting it. You're wrong, I was not including Kane & Toews in my comment. As the AYRT says, they aren't generational talents. They are franchise players. I'm not sure how you could have thought I was including them in a comment about whether the Penguins qualified as a rebuild. However, I was not limiting it to Crosby. I was allowing the possiblity of that generational talent may include Malkin, which is why I wrote "person(s)." So, I'm not being as strict as the AYRT or as loosey-goosey as you.

We were talking about the Pens in the context of whether or not the Hawks could do a "quick rebuild." I see what you meant now, but I'm not sure how you could possibly think that your usage was that clear when it sounded like you were talking about the general definition of a rebuild when you said "your team's generational talent can't stay them same in a rebuild." I didn't think by that phrasing you would be using generational talent to talk about something that by that definition only one team or two teams have. I didn't realize you meant specifically and only Crosby and Malkin, so it struck me as a strange phrase but I just mirrored your word choice in my reply (and added "core" as what I had assumed you meant). I am well aware of what Kane and Toews are and aren't. I just had no interest in opening up another discussion about your use of that term in case we disagreed.
