the oilers-leafs proposals will never please either side.


unless.....

Kessel, Rielly, Bernier

for

Eberle, Draisaitl, 16th overall?

What's the point in swapping Kessel for Eberle?

Byfuglien and Winnipeg 2015 2nd and 2016 1st round picks for Phil Kessel and Tyler Bozak!

if the isles didn't have the players on the team that they have now, I could see a trade like that made....
- Ur Not Me

Yeah, It doesn't make sense because the Islanders are still a team in transition and will need their prospects. The value wasn't off though.

So you're content with Bailiey riding shotgun on JT's win.

He's probably going to be pretty good.

ive never seen such terrible returns for kessel. always great to come to this site for some entertainment.

the main pieces in each of those teams listed in the article would need to be:

st.louis - fabbri

nashville - jones

florida - huberdeau OR 11th

nyi - dal colle + reinhart


obviously there will need to be salary coming back, but there is no way leafs are trading kessel, one of the best goal scorers in the game, and top point scorers in the league, for a bunch of crap.

doubt kessel is traded to nyi, an eastern team. and i dont see nashville parting with jones eveen though he will never be a top 2 dman for their team.

st.louis makes the most sense. american connection, and they need goals.

fabbri + berglund + a pick/prospect for kessel.

saw one offer where trochek was the best piece in the deal for kessel. LOL

Reinhart is awful.

Toronto had more playoff success with Kessel than Columbus did in a decade with Rick Nash. Think about that.
- RogerRoeper

And the Oilers had more playoff success than both in that decade with Hemsky.


THINK ABOUT THAT

Kovi got a return of prospect in Cormier, an more developed prospect in Bergfores, oduya and 1st. Bergfores and Cromier were bust. But the building blocks are their

Nash for Artie, Dubi, Rychel(19th overall pick) and erixon. Similar deal

Kesler and 3rd for Bonio, Sbisa 1st.

Richards for Schenn, Simmonds 2nd rounder

Carter for Voracek, 1st(Couturier) and 3rd(Cousins.


at a reasonable offer.

basically young roster player or 2 and a pick. Pick is 1st or 2nd depending on quality of players involved

Right? I would think the Oilers would want D or a goalie or both...

Pretty much. I actually hedged on my original post. And Gave the islanders a high 2nd rounder. Yeah it was a very fair deal.

Fiiiiine. They can have Dion instead.

What about Kessel to Carolina for something built around one or both of the Staals?

Isles have cap space & players & specs to find a replacement. And trust me, I don't play the homer card.... I never wanted Bailey drafted

I'm pretty sure he can't play goalie sooo....

It was a good fictional deal, but I don't believe the Islanders will be trading those two prospects any time soon.

Leafs trying to rebuild...... How does getting older or at least not younger help them?

I like to think that you guys have one if those tornado sirens that sounds when we mention your team or city. Or certain posters.

eric would be the more likely guy based on salary, but how does getting 3 years older help us? also Staal put up LESS than Kessel last year as poopty as kessel was under horacek
