Hayes anchors the best 2 hrs of radio a day in the world.

I agree that's what he should command in return but you hear some media people say they aren't getting much back and they will have to eat salary as well. I don't get that at all.

And that same media said Mike Babcock laughed at the Toronto offer and would never go there.

The Leafs are not taking back millions per season for 8 years on Kessel's deal. No chance.

The media would not say that if Kessel was about to get traded from Nashville.

They already gave a boatload of assets to Ari.
How about LA?

Richards, Pearson and #13 overall?

Pearson and the 13th sound good but man, Richards for 5 years is tough to take.

LA doesn't have the money. They want to get rid of Richards to be able to pay Pearson and Toffoli. They already have Gaborik on the right side, no need for Kessel.

I think you could get more....Pearson is the price for taking richards...I would ask for Martinez as well, maybe even Muffin.

Too bad the draft is in Florida. The Panthers make a ton of sense for Kessel to go to.

Do you think it matters that the draft is in Florida? How many Panthers fans will even be in attendance?

A team like LA is screwed with their cap. They don't have the cap room to add anyone significant.

Gabby is an injury away from retirement or just completely falli BFF apart IMO. Kings have good enough young pieces where Kessel would make them more competitive for longer than Gabor will, but of course the money doesn't make sense.for LA

I used to love the FAN and I still listen a lot but I have to agree TSN and the Hayes crew are my favorite right now. I hate both morning shows.

Yeah, it should not matter. Getting a name star is more exciting than an unkown pick. That said, Tallon did say he did not want to deal it with it being in Florida.

It matters a lot. You don't want to give your home fans nothing to watch at the draft.

It would be a big splash for them to get Kessel at the draft. What would the Leafs get back?

they will match all of them, they can go over the cap 10 percent in the summer
they'll trade them for more than the 3rd pick they would get

- the_eye


thing is, they'd have to trade other players. Can't trade a guy for 12 months if they match an offer sheet.

it forces them into a decision of giving up a guy like connolly for less than market, or trading another roster player.

Given boston will likely have to trade a player or 2 to keep Hamilton, they may not be inclined to lose other roster players just to keep a guy like connolly.

That 11th overall pick is a part of it.

I agree but it might be necessary for LA fit Kessel's salary. I might prefer Richards 5.25 or whatever for 5 years over Semin's 7 for 3 years.

5 years eats into when we want to be a contender. A little long for my taste.
