Phaneuf for Beesqua.


That's the deal.
- Byfuglien Ate Me

Beesqua has a NTC. He also has made it very clear he wants to be a career Canuck.

Does no one on these board understand the cap?

And using Kessel and Crosby in the same sentence.... yikes!
- Beatle_john

no, only you understand the cap. please tell us all about it

TSN 1040 says a trade is "a-bruin" and will be announced soon.

So your telling me that you expect a team to add 8 million a year... instantly. I don;t think you have been following the conversation.

I expect that another team either adds 8 million a year or Toronto keeps Kessel.

1,2nd horvat kassin for kessel...

I guess you all went to sleep.

Good Luck tomorrow.

I am not sure which with be worth... getting rid of Kessel or keeping him.

I am not totally against that but thats 8 million versus less than 2. Remove Horvat, add Kadri and we are in the neighborhood.

gotta add nylander and toronto's 1st to make it fair imo

thats quite the deal breaker... you guys got a bad contract? throw it in my deal and we are good to go..

I mean, what exactly is Kessel? Do you truly believe he is worth that much? I mean truly... not this fantasy crap. No single player is worth that.

I see him as a sniper but not the last piece of the puzzle. He is not Patrick Kane.

You need to face it that the $$$ is as important as the players and he is overpaid. That needs to be taken into account.
- Beatle_john

If Kessel was always with the hawks and kane wss with the leafs youd say kane was no kessel

Should be able to flip Phaneuf for Weber too, cap hits are pretty close.

Tampa gets 2 second rounders from Boston for Brett Connolly

Flips a 1st, 3rd and Radko Gudas to Philly for Braydon Coburn

Lee! I thought you knew me better!

Lets add Nylander and Brown just to be fair.

Kassian, 2nd for Kessel, Kadri, Nylander, Brown. looks fair!

all jokes aside Phil would probably put up 50 on the Sedins line. If there were actually serious talks, which is highly unlikely, It would start with Virtanen, Tanev, and a 1st

Brayden Franking Coburn got the Flyers a 1st and a third.

Wow.

Gudas too, he's a pretty good dman.

Well, statistically he is basically Patrick Kane that is a better ES% (Points and shots) player with a somewhat comparable Corsi Rel and makes 2.5 million less for essentially the same play over the last 3-4 seasons. Kane plays on a better team. Kessel is placed on a line with 2 other defensive disasters.

Don't see how Kessel is overpaid when he makes less than all of the elite point getters he compares to or surpasses minus guys on deals signed previous to the 8 figure deals of the talented Chicago head office.

Just wait til Patches, Stamkos and so on start making more than Kessel and judge the contract again.

My asking price would be much more fair than the other guys, but it's still steep.

2015 1st, 2015 2nd, Bo Horvat, and Vrbata for Kessel, a 2015 4th and Petter Granberg

You put guys you believe are better than Dion in his role and they'll be destroyed.
- RogerRoeper

Dion got destroyed, too.

We've all had Phenough at this point.

Make it happen, Nonis.

Stevie Y got crushed last night:

Buddy:you won't deal a first Steve
Y:watch this poop
Buddy: it was just a joke bud

Gudas too, he's a pretty good dman.

I don't know how much Tampa Bay hockey you watch, but Gudas is pretty bad.

Enough to know that Gudas is pretty good. And by pretty good I don't mean Weber 2.0

I beg to differ. He reminds me of Mark Fraser.

I don't know him from a hole in the wall, but it looks like he was a 6/7 guy on the Bolts.

I'm just surprised Philly is selling off - they are still close to a playoff spot, and they usually have a good late-season surge.

He's had injury issues this season, physical 5-6 dman on a good team.

Gudas was the Bolts #3 guy last year. Nothing flashy, nothing great. Plays the game hard. He's out for pretty much the rest of the year so it makes sense to trade him if you're a playoff team I guess.

He's sort of Luke Schennish. About the same age, is actually more physical, and has a bit more offense to his game. More like Polak, actually.
