Nobody will be complaining the second we start making the playoffs, until then...well you know, we've been at this for 10 years now.

Who could possibly complain with a 1st round sweep? It's the dream scenario.

you guys trading Yandle yet?
- wingz4life

friggen Yotes have a boatload of young D that are good

No... They won't. All you guys keep saying is "6th in the league in scoring." It was the first time in his career he's had more than 64 points. Kessel is a great complimentary player but he's not the guy that a team should be building around.

Why do you have to build a team around him? If the Pens added Kessel to their lineup you'd have #81 Penguins pyjamas and be chanting thank you Nonis every time the Leafs visited and you know it

This is Toronto, somebody is always complaining

you guys trading Yandle yet?
- wingz4life

Apparently along with Oliver Ekman-Larsson for Sam Gagner and Magnus Punjabi-Svensson.

Would you not prefer a non top 6 scorer like Jonathan Toews for example? I sure as hell would.

We have Kessel, I understand we have our reasons but it seems to me, if we don't like a trade or a player, a GM or coach, we have some that want them to fail for no other reason they don't like them instead of hoping they do well, what the hell is wrong with the fans of this franchise?

Tank, fail, tank, fail, I don't get it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, he returns.

As soon as the next good player comes along, he will get the same treatment from some Leaf fans.

a Top six scorer and he is not good enough to play for the Leafs by some, yeah, get rid of him..
- LeafMan

Wrong player at the wrong time.

And yes, they do need to trade him. It's not because he's bad at what he does, it's because what he does, isn't what this team really needs.

He would be the 4th best forward on the Pens.

i meant Yandle for real to detroit for a forward.

I still say the Canadian Hockey League should be for Canadians either that or change the name.
- wingz4life

hahaha.. when Cherry dies he thinks he will be remembered as a guy who knows hockey, but really people will remember him for being a loud mouth who is biased and tells the children to believe in jesus and join the military.

Why does everyone get so defensive over that? "TOP 6 SCORER"!!!!!!!!!

He would be the 4th best forward on the Pens.
- 1979AD

And that ain't bad

- Zezel

Kessel would be a nice addition to the second or third line for us. You guys think that since he "was 6th in scoring" last season he is automatically one of the best players in the league. I would much rather have Seguin + Hamilton.

What do we need? First round picks??

Damien Cox is a douche bag....

He sent a tweet that the League and Teams will be bending over backwards to win back the fans.

I tweeted back to him that the fans during the lockout bent over and took it.

He blocked me..........
- faceto27

He blocked me on the Star....gives it but he can't take it

Tank, fail, tank, fail, I don't get it.
- LeafMan

They haven't done that properly yet.

What I don't get is this "get into 8th, get your ass kicked and pretend to be happy because they made the playoffs" stuff.

Dave Naylor nailed it in his recent article. This team needs to take the long road and that includes sticking to this rebuild and doing it right.

Why does everyone get so defensive over that? "TOP 6 SCORER"!!!!!!!!!
- 1979AD

Cause he's not top three of course

What do we need? First round picks??
- faceto27

Every single year

Top picks every year, when those picks pan out, trade them for more first rounders

i meant Yandle for real to detroit for a forward.
- wingz4life

Sure, pass along Datsyuk.

Have you ever tried to steal a bread crumb from a starving man?

Same idea.

- faceto27

No. Everyone knows that the last thing a rebuilding team needs is first round draft picks.

I don't think he's automatically one of the best players in the league because he was sixth in scoring, I think he is one of the best players in the league.

- AdamFrench

i was thinking Tatar or Sheahan

....Well there's your problem.
