Leaf Rumours

LA doesn't need to make any trades, and not because they don't like/want Kessel.

Maybe a place like Anaheim, who will need to replace Selanne next season....

Maybe not horrific but definitely not good enough. Brown is also a winger and not really a big guy. We have a few players similar in terms of style of play.
Brown is also 28 years old so not exactly what we should be going for(more like 20-25 year old). In terms of points it's close (he's been averaging around 55 pts).

It's not that funny.

He's a 25/55 point kind of guy who hits like a truck, leads his team, and has won a cup.

That's worth more than a 35/65 guy that Kessel is. You can imagine I am not sold on Kessel being a PPG player.

This is a dumb post and you should feel dumb.

Christ, what is wrong with you lately? You're acting like you are intent on becoming known as kb's replacement.

Just awful, awful posts.

And that's on paper.

He's probably closer to his mid thirties in reality due to the abuse his body has taken (the Wendel/Neely factor).
 
Brown is a nice player and better than his point total...but how long until he becomes Brandon Morrow, with the style he plays.

The only move that makes sense in moving Kessell would be for a center, or in a package for a clear cut better winger, and i question whether either of those exist.

Dreger on Cybulski today: "Interest in Phil Kessel should and will build. Toronto IS willing to part with Kessel. The price will be high"
"A high pick and a top 6 forward or top 4 defenseman along with that, depending on how high the pick is."
"There's no sense of urgency to move Kessel, but someone meets their price they would move him."
