All these dross for gold trade proposals are seriously (frank)ing annoying.
- AdamFrench

Everybody knows that the laws of physics state that energy and matter CAN indeed be created or destroyed, with the stipulation that either Mike Milbury or Bob Murray has to be one of the GMS involved

the minute Kadri learns to take faceoffs, Bozak is obsolete.

but McLCement's taking more D-zone faceoffs lately - could be they are getting used to not having Bozak?
- Big_Lightnin

I think RC is playing them wisely - every important draw the other night or 2 they are both out there, I'd keep that going!!!!

I agree 100 %


Grabovski for Bobby Lu , straight up

Van can't take cap back in a Lou trade, ideally

dross?
- Dozzer

The term dross derives from the Old English word dros, meaning the scum produced when smelting metals. By the 15th century it had come to refer to rubbish in general.[3] Dregs[3] and the geological term druse are also thought to be etymologically related.[4] Metallurgical dross is referenced as a metaphor for worthless material in the Bible and in other religious texts.

he has work to do. exactly why i didnt want him called up when he was
- Dozzer

And it is obvious in his game yet when I said it the world collapsed.

See I don't think Kessel is a top 6 NHL scorer. Period.

Excuse me. Total on ice Bozak is 2.
- honesthockey

This theory was proved wrong last season.

name calling IS arrogant

anyways, it wasnt bad enough to deserve a ban.. just getting close.. so i thought i would put it out there and curb what was starting to happen

sorry if i seem up tight about poop.. but modding this site nearing deadline day can get pretty damn frustrating if you dont stop something before it starts.. so in a case like this.. just consider it pre-emptive.
- Dozzer

Did any of the mods see buddy the bible dude going on for hours between like 2am - 4am

Just Curious, Why trade Grabo for Lou? They have no backup so there goes Scrivens (Not a Big Deal) but why Grabo and not Bozak??
- Jimmy_wiener

5.5 a year for a 3rd line center ... That's why

Kessel is a great complimentary 1st liner. He needs someone else to play with him who can A) pass and B) score. I wouldn't say top 6 NHL scorer but definitely top 10-15.

Been how many years and nothing?
- honesthockey

of Kessel playing with Bozak? 3

common sense lives somewhere.. thats good
- Dozzer

Hopefully if resides somewhere in Nonnis' brain

Fact. Was it a fact that in the last 5 games was Kessel an 82 point player?
- honesthockey

What's your point?

What last 5 games are you talking about HH, this year? last year?

You seem to want to give credit to Bozak for Kessel being what he is, are you implying that bozak makes Kessel better or not? And yes, now I am confused, because you said that wasn't what you were implying. Which is it?

Keep in mind, I'm not a Bozak hater, but I don't think he has an impact on Kessel, and I don't credit Kessel's career seasons to Bozak. Playing with Lupul last year, Kessel was at an 85 point pace, that is fact, without Lupul he was on a 20 goal 60 point pace.

And for the record, I am implying that Lupul makes Kessel better......But I too rather see him stay with kadri.

- Pen15

Correct. The highest you'll ever see him in the scoring race IMO and Bozak was his center. I see Kessel as maybe a top 20 guy so what will a different center really do for him.

The key is sustainability. Is it a fact that in the first game this year, Thomas Vanek was a 410 point player???

don't. put Grabo with Kessel
- Big_Lightnin

No there like oil and water from what I've witnessed when they play together!

- honesthockey

So you're saying that because he was a top 6 scorer while playing with a 3rd line centre, he can never be a top 6 scorer playing with a 1st line centre?

Last 5 games last year.

And no I'm not saying Bozak makes him better but the fact is the last two seasons have been Career years for Kessel.

Yeah i dont think he fully contributes to making kessel the player he is. Lupul is a better compliment. Bozak is there to win faceoffs, if he was poop at faceoffs, he would be completely useless

- mykokes

At least you've seen Kadri play well without Lupul, so you don't have to ask the same question with regard to Kadri being made a good player by Lupul.

So you're saying that because he was a top 6 scorer while playing with a 3rd line centre, he can never be a top 6 scorer playing with a 1st line centre?
- Pen15

Might be and I'd say I was wrong if proven as fact. I just don't see it.

Correct. The highest you'll ever see him in the scoring race IMO and Bozak was his center. I see Kessel as maybe a top 20 guy so what will a different center really do for him.
- honesthockey

Ah. So you're point is that Kessel is at his absolute best with Bozak.

Last 5 games last year.

And no I'm not saying Bozak makes him better but the fact is the last two seasons have been Career years for Kessel.

...Lupul.

Yeah, I Agree Grabo is Overpaid for his Role. BUT. Take a Look at the Frankin Jackpot of Sh*t Contract that Lou has. Lou is a good goalie, but Grabos contract is better than Lou`s.

The key is sustainability. Is it a fact that in the first game this year, Thomas Vanek was a 410 point player???
