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.

If the Penguins don't make the playoffs in the next 2 years the leafs get a 2nd rd pick.

I dont see that happening though.

I don't think you have to worry about the best player on the planet declining at 28
- Lee Denault

Not even pen homers says that anymore

Basically the rebuild is potentially slowed down because pittsburgh got their way...

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

Seems the Leafs had minimal trade options. And Kessel had to go.. Shanny must have made it so

Given all the greatness that everyone claims Kessel is there no way they miss the playoff...


Right

So is it confirmed that it is the leafs 2nd next year and not Pitts 2nd were sending back???
- HealthyScratch6

that would be icing on the cake...we may have traded the 32nd pick for the 29th....for (frank)ing kessel....great job leafs.

- HealthyScratch6

No its pens 2nd but if they miss the playoffs we send them our 2nd in 2017 for their first

OR. you can just hold on to him.

by the way....1st is conditional.
- Pen15

Conditional on the year.


Try again

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.

Hrmm well every tsn analyst said that the leafs got a good return. I'd suggest their knowledge is greater than mine and or yours towards hockey. End of the day they all wanted kessel moved. This is the best they figured they were offered. Obviously you always want more but you put your faith in management and hope for the best long term.

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

THE LEAFS BIGGEST TROLL

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.]
- PatC80

But why would that matter though. These guys are committed to the 5 years rebuild, by then Phil is 32. Why not just take whatever the best deal is regardless....

If the Leafs make the PO what will happen then `

Leafs did great. They were definitely dealing from a position of weakness and still managed to get a respectable return.

Hey guys!!! I just traded my PS4 for a Panasonic 3DO!!!

Look, the Playstation requires me to pay $49.99 a year for roughly the next 7 years (8 years is average for a console generation) for a + membership to play online so I won the trade because I offloaded that pesky 350 bucks.

WIN-WIN!!!

Conditional on the year.

But also lottery protected.

Thank you, well I hope they finish in the final wildcard next year and get out 1st round but that's not happening now I wouldn't say.

sorry about the kessel trade, bro

Just read them
Meh. Not that big of a deal
- senstroll

yup, pitt will make playoffs.

Leafs hands were tied too.

Our first rounder will be poopty

did you note that the third is jerseys and not the pens?

i am just gonna ban everyone shortly..

- ImThatGuy

If the Penguins don't make the playoffs in the next two years, that trade was a horrible fail from their perspective.
