Leaf Rumours

F*ck Dreger for floating out this (imo, bullshit) nonsense and screwing with our ability to resign Phil.






Child Molesters are the worst.

Yea. "Horrific".

Weapons grade stupid.

You're talking about trading a guy with a career high of 82 points for a guy with a career high of 60...a 28 yr old smallish player who plays an extremely physical style that he'll probably only be able to maintain for another 4-5 years tops.

Weapons. Grade.

As per usual, overrating a player and underrating another. I didn't say it was a good, or fair trade.

Just that it's not absurd.

Trading Phil Kessel for a 28 year-old, career 25 goal/55 point winger is the definition of absurd.
 
Not if you think Kessel is a one-dimensional 35/65 kind of guy.

If Kessel is the PPG player he was last year, then yes, of course it's absurd. But we're still yet to formally establish what kind of player he will consistently be.
 
"WE DON'T KNOW IF HE'S ACTUALLY A PPG PLAYER".

But we do know that Dustin Brown definitely CAN'T be a PPG player.

I can't imagine Sens fans would defend this kind of trade if it actually happened. There's no way.
 
Well, one thing we have formally established is that he'll score 30 goals every season. A feat Brown has only managed once (five years ago) in his NHL career.

The 60 points Kessel scored in 70 games as a 21 year old also matches Brown's career high. The 64 points Kessel scored as 23 year old is better than Brown's ever managed. The 55 points in 70 games Kessel scored as a 22 year old (in his first year in Toronto, coming off off-season shoulder surgery) is better than Brown managed just last year in 82 games.

As for Brown's PPG performance in the playoffs, Kessel has been there, done that. From the age of 20 to 21, Kessel played 15 games with the Bruins over the course of two playoff runs, and put up 9 goals and 15 points.

So yeah, "absurd", "weapons-grade stupidity", "demented", "ridiculous"...all would be good descriptions of your position.
 
Don't know if Karlsson is a norris quality dman yet because he only did it for one year. May as well trade him for Dustin Brown.

True, we've yet to formally establish what kind of player he will consistently be. When you think about it, he's pretty one-dimensional. He only scores points. Who needs that?
 
Really people? Another thread turning into a Karlsson debate? Sens fans are running for their lotion and towels.

The thread is actually about whether Corksens is stupid or "weapons grade stupid". Feel free to join.

TIL we should trade Kessel for Brown because intangibles.
 
I feel sorry for comments that ridiculously stupid. I don't go in for the mob mentality. Momma said it wasn't nice to make fun of the "challenged".
