Wish Habs would have got him
- Garnie

As a Leafs fan, I can understand you feel that way.
As a Habs fan, I'm very happy they didn't.
Always knew they wouldn't.

(frank) you Glak

LMFAO

What happened to the possible HUGE return for a 30g elite F......???????
- Ur Not Me

you dont even know what the return is

Dear Bruce and Lou.



Happy Canada day. You may have to lock the thread.

i will ban anyone who rudely states their opinion

this is an awesome deal for the leafs.. getting rid of him was important.. he was the face of this teams failure for the last few years

Kessel will easily score 50goals next season with Crosby/Malkin.

I'm quite sure Bennett would need to be included in return? (If leafs indeed retain salary)

If sutter is involved ... Does he get a 1st at the deadline ?

The media and fans rushed and forced a trade, IMO.

Kessel no longer on the team and he's STILL (frank)ed us
- twiztedmike

Still 2 guys needs to go.

bozak and phaneuf.. agree 100%

Deal hasnt been finalized yet...calm down people
- GardinerExpress

Can you Imagine a deal that meets your expectations? Probably Sutter, Pouliot and a 1st is fair.

agreed. Habs are a great team at keeping the puck out, wouldn't wanna give them a player that can solve their only weakness

Am I allowed to point out that Roger was wrong on his return if he is?

No question there is interest in Kessel. Pitt remains intrigued, but I believe Babcock would prefer to coach him first to see what he has.

Can we all agree he is clueless

Addition by subtraction really...time to move forward and build the proper way, thru the draft. We are on the same road.

Yup. Sorta like Arnott in 97 from the Oilers.

if you politely do so

So none of these clowns have any idea what the deal is, it's all speculation at this point?

Could be Phaneuf and Kessel for Crosby, Malkin, Sutter, and Kapanen at this point.
- gravyface

Kapanen, Harrington, Pick

probably a 1st i guess

terrible. with salary retained he's basically free

Can we all agree he is clueless
- senstroll

Without family...he's gonna have a hard time.

you dont even know what the return is
- GardinerExpress

Its reported Harrington/Kapanen/pick..... just haven't heard if salary is retained, other than that, where's the supposed HUGE return u all expected?

I'm stiff

- HonkyTonkMan

I'd say that is fair. I really Like Pouliot. I'd prefer him over Kapanen
24 pts in 31 games as a rookie dman in the AHL.

there's a lot of other ways to fix that problem than give 8M to that fat bunny

Kapanen, Harrington, Pick

probably a 1st i guess

- daeth

its what he's worth

burke (frank)ed up the first trade.. the bruins won the lottery due to his incomptence
