There have been four 4 collapses under him as a core guy.... The process of wanting to ship this core out is 3 years in the making. Its time.

we're not looking to be competitive next year...or the year after. who cares if we continue to suck ass balls. that's why they shouldn't have rushed it...they didn't get even close to fair market value for him.

The Kessel trade gets worse for the Leafs. The first-round pick is conditional on Penguins making the playoffs.

Ok that's just plain unnecessary.

A 1st roster player and 2 prospects


OK..whatever you say

Aaaaand the picks are totally conditional

The 1st is guaranteed to be 20 or higher, basically, in either 2016 or 2017 and it has Toronto's 2nd tied to it.

This is kind of poop.

Why didn't Brian Burke have the sense to protect the picks going to Boston for Kessel. Fack.

Ha ha good job.... Pathetic...

Excuse me?
- Lee Denault

If they miss the playoffs we get their 1st in 2017 and they get our 2nd in 2017

Sounds more like female doging than anything else. Take 3 secs too actually look at the prospects/players we acquired. Little more in depth than a Wikipedia search. I know some leaf fans are prone to hate every trade the leafs make. Understandable, I'll go sociological for a second look more towards the macro picture than micro.
- LeafsFan23

we got a top 6 forward prospect....a late 1st rounder....and a 4-6 dman. fair analysis?

we gave up a top 5 scorer in the leauge in his prime....a bust power forward prospect...a 2nd round draft pick....AND RETAINED SALARY

this isn't female doging bud...if you can't see how this isn't even close to fair value i feel sorry for you. try taking the blue goggles off once in a while.

HOLY (frank)...THE 1ST IS CONDITIONAL JOKE!!

Again, you pull poop out of your ass and call it fact.

You realize this statement means another team would be willing to offer more, but hey went with this instead. Can you think of anything stupider to say? I doubt it.

Hockeyfuture has harrington listed as our best d prospect and kapanen just behind nylander. Plus a roster player and a first.

Meh. Not that big of a deal

With the tiny details..it seems Rutherford took dubas for a spin on his dong

Posters told me that a limited no trade was nothing to worry bout


I informed them of the strategic team picking is a real problem

Was laughed at.

I hate the people here.
- Lee Denault

Exactly my point. Of the 8 teams. Mtl and Bos. Nope same division. Their out. Nyr and LA and Chi no cap space. Their out too. So it leaves Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Philly. Hextall said he wants to build from the back end out and wasn't interested in Kessel. It left two teams. Kessel knew what he was doing.]

If the Penguins make the playoffs, it's a 2016 1st rounder.

If the Penguins don't make the playoffs, it's a 2017 1st rounder.

So, a 1st rounder either way.

Best post of this thread.

Thank you.

Trolls and drama queens all over this mofo.

Time to burn one down.

This does not speak kindly of Dermott, Percy, Finn and Loov.

OR. you can just hold on to him.

by the way....1st is conditional.

If they miss the playoffs we get their 1st in 2017 and they get our 2nd in 2017

Oh lordy that dun piss me off

Part of the reason Hanifin was wanted...
