No, if you look at it inteligently, Biggs is a bust and Erixon was a waiver pick up... Both Pittsburg prospects were highly regarded as of a minute before the trade went down.
- Schenn-Sational!


actually, harrington has been dropping as a prospect for the last couple of years, getting passed by multiple guys in pitt's depth chart. kapanen was viewed as pitt's best forward prospect, but that's because they had the worst prospect pool of forwards in the entire league. not a bad prospect, but certainly not a "can't miss" guy. he's an undersized player, who has been very disappointing since being drafted, both in europe and the world juniors.

the two were highly regarded in pitt's system, not 'league wide'......neither one even cracked the top 50 at hockeysfuture, and that doesn't even include the guys drafted this year.

you Bolded " as he did end up being a divisive player in the locker room in toronto too. " in my quote (below)


Will not be able to get one leaf fan to agree that trading away picks (Seguin & Hamilton) for Kessel was a bad deal for leafs, even now seeing what little they received in return for Kessel once they got rid of him.


Guess all the rumours about him in Boston were true, as he did end up being a divisive player in the locker room in toronto too.

But then you'll never hear a leaf fan admit that there (now in hindsight) was there was some merit to those Boston rumours, after all.

I provided it.

Perhaps you need to go back a re-read what you quoted, and asked in your SUNDAY @ 9:19 AM ET post


Are you suggesting he was not a divisive person in the locker room?

- sensarmy_11

according to Hockeys Future, Kapanen is more highly ranked than Connor Brown, who's in the top-50 list.

That top-50 list rarely makes sense, with the prospect's rankings in the list often not matching their individual ratings.

Leafs got Pittsburgh's top forward and 2nd best defensive prospects, along with a first.

More than many thought they'd get... though those same people are now saying it's not enough

don't worry, mine did too.


Leafs got more for Kessel than Ottawa did for Alfredsson, Spezza and Heatly combined, and he's trying to make the Leafs' return look bad, while ignoring those.

I'm not saying that there isn't a "Vet" that might be worth a 1st round pick in a trade............But is there going to be a team, that thinks it's worth a 1st rounder for one of the leafs "Vets" AND ALSO has cap room that following season(s). ZERO teams are going to trade a 1st rounder for a "Vet" who's in thier last year of their contract (rental).

So either you are overrating the "Vets" on the leafs roster, or figure the planets are going to align for the leaf GM and there is a contender in need of a "Vet" who can make the space under the Cap (that may be going down?) and is also willing to shed a 1st rounder.

- Doppleganger

one of my favourites from early on, explaining how Kaberle wasn't worth a 1st rounder.


(Also got more than Alfy/Heatley/Spezza)

Yes, the Hossa trade (for Heatley) one of the worst trades Ottawa ever made, once Heatley became the diva he did.

that's like me asking how much better the leafs would have been with scott neidermayer, instead of Kurvers............but by all means, keep living in the past if it helps you deal with absolute poop stain you have on the ice right now.

Ottawa traded Hossa in the summer of 2005, that would have made Nick Paul 10 years old, and already drafted by the Dallas Stars.
