I should have put sarcasm tags around the "bad" because people that say Kessel's contract is bad would sh!t a brick at Malkin's. I personally think it is what it is: A fat contract for a star player.

And Pitt needs D not F.

This talk about acquiring Malkin is as realistic as saying we might get Ovi because he wore a Sabres jacket when he was a little boy in Russia.

Why is that?
- joshs

Because he's a meanie

I always loathed Lindy Ruff. And I know a lot of people who hated him as a player were just as mad when they hired him as a coach. The guy's a joke and I don't see him lasting more than another season in the league. All he does is scream at his best players and do things like call out his goaltending.

GEE, maybe its your sh!tty coaching?
- DynamicThreads

Lindy was good in the begining but as time went on he seemed burnt out. I remember the first couple seasons he was really involved with the game. Got so heated over a bad call that he refused to send his players on the ice and threw sticks out on the ice. As time went on he cared less and less. Just sits back with a scowl. After that break he was back at it for a year or 2 but it did not last.

Yeah, but if you coach for 15 years, you're bound to have a couple of good seasons where you're involved. The best thing he did was throw crap on the ice.

Haha well that's not good

Dehydration?
That happened to me last year.

Yeah it happens. Complacency is a coach killer

Yeah it happens. Tim Murray is a coach killer

See what I did there

Dehydration?

Or a heart defect.

I'm freaking out because I had a day dream the other day that he died in a car accident. My cynical mind was just thinkin up ways that our prospects are too good to be true. Lets hope it's dehydration. No need for a pro hockey player splitting times between 2 teams needs more exercise.

Last thing before I go since I read this, I have to reply to it.

The only one that should be canned is Murray.

I hope I am alive the day he is canned is all I will say.
- BuffaloHardHat

I will put this in terms you will understand. Let's say you are pouring some footings that you can't get the truck backed up to so you get a conveyor truck. Then one of the finishers starts telling everyone you are doing it wrong you should got a pump truck.

Or a heart defect.

Yeah I'm hoping it's as "simple" as dehydration... Couple IV's and send him on his way.
Hopefully.

The Capitals are finalizing a trade sending D Jack Hillen and a draft pick to Carolina for D Tim Gleason, per league sources.

Mike Sundheim @MikeSundheim · 11m 11 minutes ago

Worth noting that the fourth-rounder acquired by the @NHLCanes was originally Arizona's pick. So high fourth-round.

I'd love Malkin, but I would love Kessel as well

I have a feeling that the posters on this board would female dog less over Malkin's contract even though it's 1.5 mil more per year and Malkin is older and gets injured more often.
- homiedclown

I wouldn't.

PJ Stock made some valid points yesterday on NHL network about Kessel.

i had a congenital heart defect called WPW Syndrome and never knew it till I was 43. Played rugby, pickup basketball, and summer league softball forever. Swam competitively until college.

Then one day it hit me and I was on my back for three days with a quick cardiac procedure.

Hope Mark is better soon.
