The question is, if Kessel did not have hand surgery, would Tortarella have picked him? I kind of doubt that he would have. Considering that he has players like Dubinsky, Byfuglien, and Kessler it seems like his goal is put the most obnoxious team on the ice - not to win. Even some of the more skilled players he has like Oshie and JVR are dirty. I guess he wants a team that mirrors his personality .

When I heard that Kessel still hadn't made the team, I had a hard time understanding why, but I guess the "how to handle him thing" and the hand surgery (totally forgot about that) makes sense as to why Palmieri was chosen. Onto my picks for Jersey #3 in no particular order.

1. Zdeno Chara
2. Ken Daneyko
3. Garry Galley
4. Pierre Pilote
5. Marcel Pronovost

If by comparable you mean you are comparing things that are different you are correct.

Best #2 ever is Derian Hatcher, can't believe he's not on here after retiring a Flyer.

Kessel probably doesn't have words like "intense" in his dictionary

Anyone not picking Doug Harvey hasn't bothered to look up who the guy was and what he accomplished in his career...
