The Kessel trade should keep nocups out of here for a while.

Not even close at all - come on...Jesus - Cam had a 20 goal season playing behind Smyl and Tanti and he was only 21 when he got traded. Kassian is 24.

I didnt say they were the same player, Simply pointing he a right handed big body with a scoring touch. we havent had that in a long ass time.

I would have liked to see us give him one more year and mor primnent time with the Sedins.

But it is what it is. I like Prust. Character guy.

Moving on.

#Habs GM Bergevin cut a big chunk out of his club's heart by trading Prust. It's business but Prust was massively popular w/ teammates, fans

JB needs to sign a centremen who can win a faceoff.

Losing Richardson, actually hurts as I don't think we have one C with a FO% above 50%. And Vey sucks at faceoffs.

It's too bad we can't trade the Sedins. They will keep us from a top 3 pick.

Summer has just begun. Maybe they will just staying in Sweden come September

Hopefully Jake Virtanen can be that for us, and the Kassian trade frees up a spot for him, so, I like it

If this is Benning & Linden trying to make the playoffs, I'd love to see what they think a rebuild looks like.

Not sure about this one.....

I guess Kassian just took too long to develop and his bad nights were really bad.

Horvat was the top rookie in NHL in the Circle by a mile and he was over 50%

And most of the time he was going against the first line on away games without the last change

The real concern is: does he have his Viagra with him? If so, you may want to issue an Amber Alert

I really think we should have made benning our head of scouting or something

well Benning has called this a "Transition Period" where they are trying to get some of the young guy into the lineup and Kassian frees up a Spot for JV. Prust brings alot of heart, sou,l and Character the left when Bieksa left and for cheaper than Juice.

Personally i like this Trade alot, Kassian hasn't been able to put it together and who knows if he ever will.

WTF with Pittsburgh? I guess they do not have a salary cap there.

Why? It's a great one.

I'm not going to question the players Benning has acquired, only what he leaves on the table.

A 31 year old for a 24 year old? That's the part I find frustrating,

Hey we're trying to get younger? Can't wait to hear the spin. What will really send the message are season ticket sales!
