Yes...And it was Kessel for Seguin and Hamiltion...

I think when you give away 2 - first round picks while you are rebuilding you know exactly what types of players you will be sacrificing. A 7th pick on the other hand is pretty much useless in most cases.

By nature, 99% of rumors are BS

But it's still good business to compare trades after the player is drafted and plays one or two years...If the Bruins would have botched up those draft picks what do you think the tone of discussion would be? Also, to get a seventh round pick you won't be trading the likes of anyone very good to being with...

Not to worry we made out fine in the Kaberle steal, Colborne,Biggs and a 2nd that turned into Liles right? I'd say both teams did alright in the 2 transactions

I am sure lottery pick was not in his mind when he made the deal, however it's long over now. Kessel is becoming the player we hoped for and has gotten better each season. I have no complaints about that deal..Seguin is and will be a nice player for Boston for years..but Kessel is doing all and more

really doesn't matter..J Knight is not on pace to become a top 6 forward in the NHL and I think Biggs is pegged to be a 6-9 checking forward.

Kessel > Seguin
Colborne > Knight
Liles > Hamilton (until we see this kid in the pros..we are getting more from this)
Biggs > Bonus player

kaberle is gone.
