Leaf Rumours

Something tells me Ovechkin can happen. If anyone needs a change of scenery it's that guy. He feeds off attention and I think he would get back to gr8 in a hockey mad environment like Toronto or Montreal.

I don't see OV finishing his career in Washington.
 
Would love to get him. Watching him last night a few times there is no denying he is a game changer despite his struggles.

When he reaches top speed there is no stoping him
 
Ovie looks like trash right now. Its not a Kessel situation where he is getting chances and not putting them in. He flat out isn't trying.

I'd still trade a boatload for him though.

Definitely would be a nice fit for either of us. Problem is his salary - very very teams can afford 9.5M a year for him.
 
Ovechkin was my favorite non-Leaf player until last season. I don't know what's wrong with him.

But I'd definitely take a shot at him and pay a lot to get him.

Who would do Kessel for Ovechkin straight up? I'd have to do it.
 
They would need more than kessell.

and IMO an Ovy trade happens in the offseason if it happens....after McPhee is fired....no way you lt him make that deal.

IF it happens, and that is a big if, it would probably be something along the lines of a Heatley for Hossa deal. The question is, who has someone comparable to OV to cough up? They'd have to cap wise anyway.

I could see Washington asking for Phaneuf and Kessel.
 
Depends on what you can sign kessel for.

Ovie makes a crap-ton of money for a 35 goal scorer.
 
I'm not so sure OV outscores Kessel going forward. If he does, I doubt it's by much. Kessel is a lot cheaper too.

It would be sort of a lateral move for both teams, so what would be the point really.
 
But a reasonable amount for a 55 or 60 goal scorer, which you'd have to believe you're truly getting if you bite the bullet and both trade prime assets for him and take on that salary.

I was thinking Evander Kane, Zach Bogosion and a 1st.

I'm with player...not sure he out scores Kessel.


But I cannot ignore salary.

$9.5m should be giving you 60 goals.

Both players at 40 goals...Ill take Kessel.

What can Kessel be signed for?

7m? I still dont like paying 2.5m more for similiar production with a potential for more.
