nah... Flyers will no doubt overpay another defenseman.... either Mike Green or Franson. If AndyMac is getting 5M+... look for Green/Franson in the 6M range.

or they trade for Dion.

Leafs should be making every effort to make a trade with boston. Sweeney is completely out to lunch.

Interesting take on the situations.
Thought this was a poem when I first saw it.
Wonder what Kessel's value is?
The team is icky.



Also, was Nighthawk in Image comics?
I can't remember, but I do remember he was decked out in chrome wasn't he?

would seems so.

that they dealt Hamilton surprised me only in that they must have know of the Lucic deal or at least the possibility of it - with Lucic's contract gone they weren't really hosed on the CAP... and Hamilton wouldn't have gotten more than 6/year I would think.

there must be more to the story than we're hearing.

I want no part of Ryan Ellis. If the Leafs were dealing with Nashville, there are three or four pieces not named Jones that I would want over Ellis.

Leafs should just keep kessel.

Top 10 scorer over last 5-6 years.
There's no value in trading high $$ players.

Ellis + Fiala + Nashville's 1st rounder in 2016 for Kessel.

Yeah, it would take more than a middling prospect like Pouliot, a late 1st rounder, and two 35+ year old salary dumps to acquire Kessel.

I know salary dumps will be included when we trade him, to make room for his cap hit, but I can't help but think there are many other teams who could offer more quality.

Take your Flyers for example, if we take back Vinny for starters, you have some interesting pieces that could get a deal done. With your depth at centre, Brayden Schenn wouldn't be missed, Del Zotto would be an interesting reclamation project for Babcock, Morin is a giant, mobile, young, developing defenseman, Konecny, who you just drafted is enticing. I don't mean all of them of course, but there is certainly enough to interest the Leafs without harming Philly's futures irreparably.

I know Eck is reporting Kessel is due to get 4 mil July 1. Lookin for clarity on this as I haven't heard anyone else mention this. Whats it for? It can't be a bonus, otherwise it would be on the cap. I wouldn't imagine he gets half his yearly salary on 1 day....just wondering if anyone knows
