I believe Howson is simply terrified of making a trade.

ALL OF NYI'S PICKS to move down two spots in a wide open, murky draft? Declined?!?! Snow is a moron for offering it in the first place, but Howson edges him out for worst GM in the league for declining.

I think its because if he (frank)s up the Rick Nash deal this summer, that he will literally get fired the next day.

he's going to get fired anyway

kessel > everyone

He was sixth in scoring, but his points are multiplied by a factor of 0.5 to reflect his true value.

I remember somebody trying to argue that Kessel's points were less... I can't think of the exact word, but something along the lines of less important. Or less earned or something. It was bizarre.

Again, not what was being said at all.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're likely smarter than this, so I'm left to assume you're being obtuse.

One fella seemed to be saying it.




I'm more right, or acute at least.

And never get a job again anywhere. Maybe the Isles will take a flyer on him...

I'd argue he's already botched the Nash deal by peeving his superstar and forcing his own hand.

We are all with you in this painfull and suffering moment. Please accept my condolences.

ya he's a leaf so his goal's only count as half goal's


oh and he's a bust


oh and even since he has gotten better in his own end and become a very good passer we need to pretend it never happend and still call him one dimensional

because he's a leaf

He's on his last legs anyway......Shanny is being groomed to step in and take over. According to Ek, he'll be the next great GM.

Yeah, i wouldnt be suprised to see him "step down" after he trades Rick Nash.... ownership probably doesnt want to put a new GM in that bad of a spot

Knowing Columbus though.... their next GM is going to be Pierre McQuire

And he'll never be HOF worthy and never win anything here and never be considered a true superstar and will never be as good as Seguin.....etc etc etc etc etc.

Because I got hi.....I mean, because he's a Leaf.

Seguin or hall?

Seguin or hall?

That was settled years ago.

- cor99

You joke, but I can actually see that happening.....Pierre is jonesing to get a GM job and that might just be the place to grant him the position.

Seguin or hall?
- The_Vark

Seguin.

Hall if Seguin was a leaf

Who wants to wager that Kessel outscores Ovy again??

Zezel? You around dear?

Phil Kessel could actually be one of the better leafs in history....

He has 165 goals already in 6 seasons..... he should play about 15 more (39)

He will atleast double that to 330 goals, and i would say finish around 350-360

You joke, but I can actually see that happening.....Pierre is jonesing to get a GM job and that might just be the place to grant him the position.

i wish he and roy got the jobs for the habs....... then i could put all my hate into one place

Yup... im intrigued to see how he would do though
