Uhmm, Ryan makes your team much better.
- eihcnerf

They are not giving us Ryan for Kessel!

I beg to differ player development is the way to go the leafs need veteran leadership in a forward and dman.
- puck-off

Right on, we need leaders.

not when kessel is going the other way

Oh no?

Mike Augello: Crabb Signs With Washington

he beleives that crap about mistakes because nobody wants to go there. the only way he gets anything is trades gardiner. his hands have been tied by his big mouth. guess what laff fans this guy has won you no more then jfj did and your about in the same palce.

Price signed for 6 years no terms released yet.

Leaders are nice but players worth leading are also required. A good example is Stamkos and St. Louis. You could argue that Martin St. Louis is a great mentor but without elite talent, Stamkos doesn't reach the heights he has hit. It takes both great leaders and players worthy of being led.

It's a 6 year term

Oh no?
- eihcnerf

no

kessel is a 35 goal scorer with bozak centering him

bobby ryan is a 30 goal scorer playing with fellow olympians geztlaf and perry


ryan does play the pk but on the leafs hard to see how his production wouldn't drop

So Kessel is a better player than Ryan is what you are trying to say?

Nowhere yet someone (frank)ing about on the EE thread (frank)ing about. My klingon is rusty.

- eihcnerf

are u trying to say ryan is significantly better than kessel?

Beside all the pot shots, and snide remarks both fan bases knows how this season is going to go for both teams, not well.
- eihcnerf

Montreal might surprise with a new coach (from last season), and some added grit in the bottom end... Desharnais and The Zombie Who Got His Life Back have another year under their belts.

and they have Price.

I'm thinking with a good defensive system, the Habs could challenge for a playoff spot again.

The Leafs will finish 9th or 10th.

Well, i wouldn't dare...

Leafs trading their best player does not drastically improve the team. Swapping Kessel plus more for Bobby Ryan does not solve the teams biggest issues.

On the money.

I think it'll be closer to 39 million over 6 years.

Well, i wouldn't dare...
- eihcnerf

tell me why he is




Edit: for the record i realize ryan is a more complete player but that doesn't justify swapping kessel for him

- GoneFullRetard

That's pretty optimistic considering the team is almost exactly the same as last year. Unless something changes, it looks pretty grim.
