I'd do it, for both teams -- totally serious

Kessel goes someplace where he can just score goals and be a nobody, and you know that is what he wants. Everything about him screams that hockey is a job, not his life

Toronto gets the first-round pick and dumps the salary/contract for a team that won't contend

Everything else is just details to make it work financially, but that is what it boils down to

I doubt the panthers would have to include a first if they are taking Robidas and his terrible deal. On the face of this rumor it would appear it's a huge fleecing of the Panthers even tho kessel is the top player (right now) in the deal. Willing to bet this source is from TO and perhaps this was the offer pitched to Florida. If so, then their GM would do the right thing and just sit on this to see if toronto starts to sweeten it, which could happen if they think they are getting Huberdeau and a first for kessel.

Doesn't make much sense for Florida at this point imo

it's made up so that's probably why!

it's the perfect fit for Kessel. i think it's a bit much to give up on Florida's end, personally, unless the pick is conditional (first if they make it, second if they miss). the value is there at present. if you're Florida though, long term, this is a risky move.

Maybe it is. There's way more deals tossed around than us general public would ever know about. I just don't see why a top notch GM like Tallon would do that considering the club he's building. And it's going to be a really good one in Florida in the next couple years

flyers all of a sudden get a percentage for Yandle? Philly name hasn't been mentioned once this year with Yandle, but has in the past for sure. just don't get why now?
especially with the flood of defense we already have

Kessel for Bergenheim, a conditional 4th, and a case of Sex Panther.

I agree. Florida is becoming Blackhawks south.

Hextall has said he will not make any deals for a playoff push. especially if it depletes youth and our future. which Yandle would command. Even our 1st perhaps.

with a 2.5% rumour success rate, the only trumpets that will ever sound will be when someone is blowing their own horn

Having a lot of defenseman doesn't mean you have a defense.

As much as I don't want Kessel in the same division as the leafs I have to say Florida is probably the best place for him, no media, no fans, just go play hockey and make your millions in peace.
