I can see the devils wanting JVR instead.. Lower risk, with still
More potential to get more points.

Tor-JVR

Nj- 6th overall

I'll give you a maybe

You should probably cry about it more. That will make everything better.

Still trying to figure out how trading clarkson for a dead body isn't circumventing the cap?

Yep, seems like every time we try to get imaginative with the cap it costs us draft picks in one form or another.

You guys should hire nonis. He'll cost you draft picks with no imagination and create negative cap implications to boot.

Only on the condition that he extends Dainus Zubrus for at least two more years this summer.

no problem. he's adept at signing players for too much term.

The price goes from 6th + clowe to 6th + Severson. Kessel is getting nowhere near that.

right here come the geniuses... are you channeling your inner Canuck-fan?

"no way Cody Franson ever gets a 1st round pick in return - no way"

"the Leafs getting a late 1st round pick for Franson is really like getting a 2nd rounder"

"Luongo to the Leafs for Kadri, Bozak 2 1st and whatever"

the list is endless

take a look at the package the Rick Nash got - when he was essentially a 25-30 goal scorer in Columbus.

should Kessel go the Devils the package would/could be something in the range of

2015 1st
2016 2nd
Gelinas
CAP Dump (Perhaps Clowe)

Which is precisely why it's unlikely the Devils trade with Toronto. Makes sense for neither team.

Don't forget 'the Leafs are stuck with Clarkson forever, that contract is unmoveable...oh wait'

Kessel is going to Florida. You Devils fans can keep enjoying not being able to score goals...

Why did they have no business being there?
- rmdevil313

He clearly forgot they had 2 top 10 players in Kovy & Parise.

Clearly a gift from Bettman to even make the playoffs...

no problem. he's adept at signing players for too much term.

Lou doesn't need any help with head-scratcher deals, no thanks.

Isn't Kessel far too young to play for the Devils?

It's called pushing the limits, one might think New Jersey fans would know all about that since it was your team who introduced the league to such methods.

You're high as (frank), go sleep it off.

We'll trade for Kessel when he's 35 & 260 lbs

Everybody remembers that Cody Franson got the Leafs a 1st round pick and a prospect. Cody Franson. For a 1st. And a Prospect.

People thinking that Kessel wouldn't get the Leafs a high draft pick and a prospect are out of their minds.
- H8terade

Just because some dippoop paid the price doesn't mean it was a good deal.

I honestly thought the following had died:

Zubrus
Havlat
Elias

And then i read they were the youth movement.

Both the 6th overall pick and damon severson are much more valuable than anything given up in the nash deal.

You should probably cry about it more. That will make everything better.
- smellmyfinger

Such class. Whining? Nope, just don't think its right to laugh about head injuries, but I'm crazy. Go enjoy the worst state in the USA ...lol

He's a top 5 point getter in the last 4 years or so. He will get a significant return.
- Santo_44

oh santo santo santo. you are always so sure....until proven wrong.

He clearly forgot they had 2 top 10 players in Kovy & Parise.

The only team in the east that we didn't beat and had more points than us was pittsburgh, who had fleury. I don't know who all these better teams were that we didn't beat.

Keep crying. I'm sure Zuccs is delighted that you are protecting his honor on an Internet forum.
