Really? What are you guys expecting? James Neal, Maata and a 1st?

Sutter & the 55th pick have very little value.

We desperately need a high-end center prospect like Terevainen.

If Benning is GM I can see him drafting Virtanen

Me personally ? Pouliot Sutter and a first.

if St.Louis can get Callahan and 2 firsts Kesler can get a first a prospect and a player.

- VANTEL


Callahan is a UFA. You want a quality player with no term left on his deal?
That's a big ask. I'm sure you will disagree, but St.Louis, even at his age, probably gets more than Kesler from 28 of 30 GM's. Sorry Bubba.

Based on What? His draft history with Buffalo (smurph city) or Boston, where he apparently was barely involved?

I suppose. St.Louis is money in the bank tho, year in and year out. I hope it didnt sound like I was saying Kesler sucked, cuz I didnt mean to.

Horvat just turned 19. Plenty of time for him. Gaunce has always been projected as a #2 or #3 center (hopefully a #2). Not a fan of Schroeder.

Shero will be the GM of Washington so they are probably right.

I think Gaunce will end up on one of the bottom two lines. He might end up being more of the prototypical 3rd line center than Cassels.

I bet Gaunce ends up on wing in two years.

Actually yes he is.....offensively, St Louis is better but in every other aspect of the game, Kesler is superior and 10 years younger....

Ohh God ENOUGH...... You Can't even compare the two. Selke trophy 2 Way player, and and Art Ross Winner who had a grand total of 8 Penalty minutes this season. Kesler probably got that in one game.

Okay, fair enough. Kesler hasn't put up the offense in 4 seasons though and St.Louis won the scoring title last year. I don't agree, but I get your reasoning. The age thing only matters in terms of long term value, not on who's going to help you win a hockey game today.

Kesler could help Pittsburgh win in many crucial situations. They had fricken Marcel Goc on the ice in the final minutes only because he is the only guy that can actually win a face off on that team. Teams will always always always overpay for a player like Kesler.
