Was the other player's wife a bottle of vodka?
- Atomic Wedgie

He drank that 1st...I guess she did too

I'll have 1 please


- Garnie

MmmM tasty!!

You guys are gonna win the cup this year...cuz you gotz Giroux
- Garnie

and Gill.

Nobody in their right mind thinks Kessel is better than Giroux, take off you blue tinted glasses.
- GOA88

Oh, and you guys cant even make the playoffs with Giroux.

Still mad about that JVR trade? woulda been Number 2 on your team in goals, and number 3 in points

pretty stupid to compare considering Giroux is a center with better defensive abilities, whereas Kessel is a RW sniper...Giroux is a 25 goal, 90 point center, while Kessel is a 35 goal, 85 point winger...if he plays more with Kadri he is gonna crush those numbers though considering Bozak is basically a 45-50 pt player
- GardinerExpress

Truth be told, I'd rather have an impact centre than an impact winger.

But hey, we have Bozak...

Do you even own skates, brah?
- Atomic Wedgie

Ive played hockey all my life and I will tell you that a player that makes his linemates better, wins faceoffs and plays the top unit PK, is more valuable than a "Sniper". Do you even own skates????

And we got him for Schenn

No reason to be upset, they robbed us and landed Schenn.

Oh, and you guys cant even make the playoffs with Giroux.
- jbold

made the playoffs with JVR though...wait...now he is helping our team make the playoffs while Schenn is helping another team be nothing more than average!

unlike giroux tho right?

all facets means he can play with as rough as they come
- Dozzer

didnt he hurt himself playing golf?

depends on what you think clarksons deal is for?

if yuo think he is there to provide ioffense, yeah.. you wont be happy. if you understand he's there to create space and wear down the opposition along the boards then you will be happy with it
- Dozzer

By space you mean because he'll be in the press box or penalty box?

Oh, and you guys cant even make the playoffs with Giroux.
- jbold

Exactly, damn Flyboys, who do they think they are talking about playoffs.

Im not mad about losing JVR, Schenn turned out quite nice for us and we NEEDED a defensman.

MmmM tasty!!
- big_dion

I drank it all through high school and into my late 20's maybe even 30's...now I couldn't drink it to save my life.

Kessel is a better goal scorer than Giroux. Giroux is a better defensive player and gets more assists and PK time. Kessel is an underrated passer, but I still put Giroux ahead of him there.

Overall offensively, i think they're pretty close. Giroux is better defensively though imo

Chip off the old block

So I dare say we won the Kessel trade

and Gill.
- Woderwick

Did Gill make the cut?

I always thought that guy was under-rated. He was a great 5-6 guy. He took way too much heat in Toronto - and elsewhere.

But wow, did he ever look terrible in the exhibition games this year against Toronto. His footspeed was always bad, but it looks like it has completely disappeared.

So Wayne, what is Kessel worth?

edit: Yeti are you ready?

Mad you didn't get Bernier brah?

- GOA88

Than you should have traded for one


It's fitting Schenn now wears colors that resemble a pylon.

ok then explain bozak's contract?

guess he earned that all by his lonesome?

Oh, and you guys cant even make the playoffs with Giroux.

It's a no brainer at this point.
