God I've been staring at this since it happened. If Kessel had more work ethic he could actually be a complete player. Strong legs (even with his lazy ass workouts) CAN play defense if he ever wanted to. We need someone to help him round out his game, just a little bit, so he's not a liability defensively.


BTW. Spezza (as much hate as he gets here) would actually be a decent idea in 2015. I see him at Chesswood arena ALL THE TIME in the summer here in Toronto. He'd come at a decent price here and maybe he can play well so I can laugh at all my family in ottawa. 2 captains left their town!

And we've all seen how good he is riding a stationary bike and giving interviews at the same time circa the Jacques Martin Sens era...

I'd love to move to BC to enjoy the beautiful scenery and skiing, but I'm afraid I'd get turned back at the provincial border for not being a big enough a$$ hole.

I get to test that out next month when I go to VanCity for a conference

the problem is he would cost kadri

we need to spend what money there is shoring up the D.. get a D that can turn the puck back to offense with more frequency there is already more than enough firepower up front.

fix what is obviously broken.. the D

I stated elsewhere that for the leafs to get spezza for kadi they would need to add Clarkson and his bad contact to free up more cash

i see spezza out here in streetsville at Vic Johnson all the time in the summer. him and a bunch of other local boys train and play shiny together. speeza, tavares, subban's, giordano, percy, strome, cizikas and others are out here often.

If only it was real, the exchange would probably be something like:

"Exuse me sir, you seem like a nice chap. I'm afraid that you're nowhere near douchey enough to come to BC."

"What do you mean, not douchey enough? I'll (frank)ing show you some douchbaggery, you Richard-juggling thunder c*nt!"

"On second thought sir, you may pass"
