Do you consider Spezza or Seguin the #2 on Dallas?

If you want a 2nd line centre here's one Paul Stastny. You are welcome.

He'll get killed in the AHL.

Play in Sweden, and shove him in the weight room after every game.

And then on to whatever is the Swedish equivalent of T.G.I. Fridays.

Fully agree

Ottawa fans said they'd rather have Turris/MacArthur than Kessel Thoughts?
- Barnaby36

Oh my.

A penquin fan wondering what Leaf fans think about ottawa fans' Kessel envy.

Man, i'm bored.

Let's start a game...

Leafs' alteregos with musicians. They need to share the same initials (in no specific order).

I'll start.

Curtis Joseph = Johnny Cash

Fully agree

how is he ever going to develop fully if you shelter him?

play him in a league thats as close to the NHL as possible.

thats how i see it

actually I've never been banned

You're ban history disagrees with this statement.

You get a free year of development if he returns to Sweden. That's the benefit I see.

i know for a fact i've never been banned

I really want to see their justification for it.

- BetterCallSaul

that is the only positive, i do see your point.

im just saying in terms of making the player the best he can be, i think the right move would be to keep him in the AHL where he can get used to the ice, and familiar with the players and personnel, just my opinion.

- Yeti1181

He's been banned so many times that he is a ban history?

That doesn't make any sense, yeti.

(frank)in right. Man... I hate how many teams have #2 (and sometimes #3) centers better than our #1.

(frank) sakes, Leafs
- TheThrill

Not only that, but they outright traded for the guy, giving up Jack Johnson and a 1st round pick, AND they made their team better in the process. I'm jealous of teams that don't regret trading away first round picks.

- TheMussel

Well... trade away first round picks for someone fairly young too hahaha... we used to but for like 35+

that is the only positive, i do see your point.

Yeah, I'm not going to pretend I know what's best for the kid either. I just hope the people who get paid to know make the right call.

- BetterCallSaul

well said.

and yeah, with the money they are making they should already have it figured out.

i would also as William himself and see what he thinks is best.

Its possible his Dad might have an opinion to share

- Feeling Glucky?

i think part of it was about kessel costing the same as Turris/Mac

- senstroll

yes, but good players tend to cost more than mediocre ones.
