I meant in relation to trading Kessel for picks and prospets. Thats what I was responding to. No point resiging one long term and not the other.

so Kessel and Lupul are Daniel and Henrik now?
cant have one without the other

Did PKer2theend draw that up in Kindergarten today?
- jbold

He and Vantel are terrible. I mean everyone has a bit of troll in them, but those two are mental.

Haha, we are quite the grammar police today. Think all replies should filter through us first.
- walshyleafsfan1

Seems reasonable. And at onlt $35/hr, I'm good value too!

Fit right in with the Leafs Centers

Grolsch

My last favourite beer. EVER. And i'm from England. Prefer my beer piss warm and as light as the clouds.
- walshyleafsfan1

think I have only had it once...dont member if I liked it...but it was beer, so I drank it
..Grolsch was just my example..I would trade him in a second

Very observant Mr washy washy.

well, given Lupul's age, if you're trading Kessel for picks and prospects, why not do same with Lupul. He'll be 32 before the returns for Kessel are ready to contribute. Might as well get more picks and prospects and be the Oilers for a couple years.

LOL! Where in England you from, fellow Limey?

My starting lineup of beers is as such.

LW - Heineken

Not great in a can, but solid against the glass, and if you're lucky enough to draught it you can give it time in the minors first.

C - Steigel

A can that basically looks like a WWII German propaganda poster. This has all the makings of a scary top line centre who will beat your french ass down.

RW - Faxe (White)

Unlike his older, 10% brother, who wasn't able to make it to the pros because of too many fighting-related suspensions, this lager strikes the right balance between skill and strength. Good at both ends of the ice

D - Lech

Underrated in a way that brings Carl Gunnarsson to mind. This 'poor-man's Stella' goes down incredibly smooth. But not to worry, it's got a rough side, clocking in at 500ml and 5.2%

D - Lowenbrau

Saavy vet who goes back 500 or so years since Bavaria made purity laws. Germans tried other such 'purification' laws over the years but in hindsight they really should have just stuck to the beer. The young lads look up to this guy.

G - Molson EX 750ml 5.5

This big burly bastard is your last line of defence. If nobody else on the team is present you just need to hold your nose and hope this guy does the job.

and carlyle will switch them right off the bat

just you watch.

that might work better than "lets go!"

I like his quote "I'm not going to turn around on the bench and look at him"

We've said the same thing about Nash, Cammellerri (sp), and virtually every other UFA that's from toronto...
- Pen15

Cammellari begged to play for Toronto - he actually went to MLSEL offices on July 1st.

But Burkie figured we didn't need a #1 centre.

Sigh.

Cuz they need a LW for Getzlaf and Perry, duh.

Bordom is to blame

Heard a rumor that Bernier has been told he'll be a Toronto Maple Leaf.




And by "Heard" I mean someone on twitter suggesting we should trade for him.
- jbold

Would not mind him coming here to join the mix of our goalies, just depends who goes the other way

My starting lineup.



Root Beer- Barks is good.

Cherry coke


Dr. Pepper


Cherry Dr Pepper

Shirly temple

chocoalte milk.

Yes, moving Kessel will accomplish this but it would be a silly move.
- A_Tree

I've noticed a curious phenomenon in Leafland lately: the drastic under-valuing of Kessel in most trade scenarios.

Usually, we vastly overrate every guy who plays for us (let's be honest: fans of every team do this), but with Kessel, I think that an outsider would actually see him more positively than we do. I think all you can attribute it to is knee-jerk overreaction.

If Kessel were named "Player X" and played on some Western conference team that we rarely ever see, people around here would take a look at his stats and drool over the possibility of acquiring a player like him.

So maybe I'm reading between the lines here, but what you're saying is: Drink Heineken, get into the minors?

Come on man, at least wait until they're 18!

Scrivens +Franson

I'd include Scrivens because he's older, and I don't see him being that good in the NHL. Not even as a backup.

Think LA could use him though, he could come in and play a few games and put up some decent numbers on their team, I guess.

They're also in need of D. And I dont think losing Franson would be a big blow to the team.



I'd be comfortable with a Bernier-Reimer tandem instead of a Scrivens-Reimer tandem
