Says he does not want to be asked about it...and doesn't want his teammates asked about it. Too much distraction.

Kesler says it is "completely false" he has asked for a trade

More than likely it was more of a "I'll waive it if you want me to" scenario and not an "asked for a trade."

They were definitely insured. By who and for what I have no clue?
- Iggysbff

My guess is the IOC compensates the NHL team whose player is hurt or in a less likely scenario the IOC takes out an insurance policy which would be a much more complicated way of doing this. Either way it really doesn't matter as the IOC is footing the bills of the injured NHL players.

Teams phoning Canucks about Kesler, but now he says the trade rumors aren't true. Every call this guy generates is based on someone faking.

Exactly. But the Canuck haters will take it as....


OMG Gillis has to trade him now and he has little trade value lolzz

If St.Louis wants to be traded because he was originally left off the Olympic team, YES he is being a F'ING BABY!!! It is the Olympics, the best players are chosen and you don't special treatment because the GM happens to be yours. Plenty of other players eserved to be on the team and got left off and none of them went crying. They were disappointed I'm sure but that's life!

I have spent years coming on this site. Just to see what stupid nonsense crap he puts out daily. It blows my mind how one person can be so blind in what they post, and be so wrong 100% of the time in any rumor he posts. Darren Dreger, Bob Mac etc have sources. Eklund you don't have sources. I would love to meet some of the stupid people that actually subscribe to this website.

Eklund: Don't Count on a Kesler Trade Happening. Tampa fans against Marty?
- Eklund

I'm quoting the entire article as pure buffonry - yes I just invented that.

EK, what is the difference between Yzerman's role and David Poile's? Jeopardy music ends and Ek comes up with NOTHING, wagering only his reputation... take your homer opinions and go home already.

The slanted articles that come out on this site are pure insanity

Pretty sure players from Vancouver have to have their balls removed before playing for the team.

Still Lawton's team?
Really?

-Ben Bishop... yeah, you mentioned him. Y still got him. So, there's that.

-Fillupula, Carle, Brewer were all brought in by Yzerman. Pretty big deal, there.

-Palat (#178th overall!), Gudas (!), Namestinikov, Kucherov, Gudlevskis, Vasilevskiy, Connolly, Erne... yep, pretty damned good drafting.

-I left out Drouin because he, Stamkos and Hedman should never be counted in the + column for a GM. Pretty damned obvious players to take.

-Brought in Cooper who has been spectacular. Boucher was a nice try, but just didn't have the total package as a coach.


Every GM inherits some pretty good players (and horrible mistakes) from their predecessors, but acting like Stevie Y hasn't done anything less than a great job of building out system and introducing stability to the franchise is just ridiculous.

If Marty wants a trade because he's still feeling butt-hurt over the Olympics and Stevie Y, then fine. Bye-bye.

A franchise is more than just a single player, no matter how good he is. It's a team game, not the Marty St. Louis show. If these rumours are true, to turn his back on the team thats battled by him every night is pretty nasty considering the success the team is having.

Oh, and how about the fans who have been paying his salary for over a decade? Giving up and potentially making our team weaker because of a millionaire-on-millionaire tiff over something (the olympics) most of us fans will never, ever...eeevvvveeerrrr... even get a sniff at in our normal, mundane, lives.

If this truly is the reason Marty wants out then I have lost a ton of respect for him.
