Green better not be the best D-man Oil aquire this off season.

Nope.Green is a lot closer to what the Oil need than Phanuef. Hes a Right hander first off. He can run a PP. He can move a puck up the ice. And he's not a douche.

Green isn't ideal but he's better than most of the options.

For sure he's a better pick-up than Phaneuf. Plus it won't cost any assets just $$$

No... Hamilton.

Letang and Lovejoy are both Righties. Sekera would be the perfect partner for Pouliot

Maatta-Letang
Pouliot-Sekera
Cole-Lvejoy

sakera AND green to the red wings,

trade Kindl, smith, howard and jurco.

Players are pissed with that cap. They are getting escrowed out the wazoo.

Take it for what it's worth; Howard Berger has said PIT & PHI are working hard on a deal for Kessel.

So he'll get traded to Florida.

Mike Green isn't Mike Green of 2009 - that said, I agree about the right shot - BUT the cap hit HAS to be good. 5 years at 5.5M would be MY max. He belongs on the PP for sure but on 2nd pairing with a guy like Nurse.

Nurse - Green

So now they know what a mortgage feels like.

I'd say Cody Franson would be a better option

Cool story bro.

The coolest

If the cap is 71.4M .... that means a 7.14M player is 10% of the team's budget. Kessel is 8M! Now do some leafers realize why retaining cap is almost a must in any deal. PIT rumors are stupid because they'd make up 26.2M (37% of the total cap) .......

Did you use your calculator for that?

But Kessel has been up there with the top point producers in the league such as Kane (10.5m) and Ovie (9.54m)... now he's not a complete player but his offense is elite.

Do you understand the difference between retaining salary (which would be moronic) and taking back a bad contract (which is necessary just to balance the numbers)???

71.4 mil! OH BOY!


Bruins are boned.
