Leaf Rumours

The leafs will be fine without phaneuf
Also, I wouldn't take Seguin and Hamilton for Kessel ..... Teed you are a psycho .... I think your maker is playing with your cranium puddle if you think the leafs will be trading Kessel.
 
I love Kessel, but he is NOT going to re-sign here. Ask Jays, now that he is in with some MLSE people. Kessel's people were asked for a price, MLSE gasped and Kessel's people said fine, the offer is off the table. Kessel has enjoyed his time here, but he really, really, really wants to play in Minnesota, be close to his family etc....

So what do you do? Enjoy this immensely talented player for one more year, probably make the playoffs now, make some serious money with him and Bernier, or do you try and get some now and future for him at the draft.

IF it was ALL ABOUT money, they would keep him. If it is about making this a Stanley Cup winner in the future, you trade his arse for the world, if there is someone to be taken.

This is a sport and a business uncus. Get your head out of your ass.
 
Minnesota does not have the money to sign Kessel. He is aware of this. I see people assuming Minnesota all the time. It's not a realistic option. Minnesota signing Parise/Suter to 13 year, near 100 million contracts ended Kessel's shot of going to the Wild.

Kessel's not going anywhere man.

It might have been a concern had we not started to turn things around this year, but now that the team is headed in the right direction there's no reason for him to turn down the most money and term. They'll have no problem paying him 7 to 8 million on a max deal. Kessel at 25 is among the very best at his position and is one of the league's top scorers. That's what that kind of talent costs.
 
If Kessel doesn't resign this offseason, he needs to be moved. We CAN NOT go into next offseason with the offchance of him leaving for nothing.
 
I can't see them not getting it done this summer and Kessel not re-signing. But yes, they have to look into it if he wants to move.
 
And now that he is out of town, can I say that I thought Luke Schenn was the most overrated hockey player in MLSE history? And I couldn't believe how a guy who couldn't win a fight, couldn't stickhandle out of a scrum in house league, and could barely skate, could be so defended, so revered by most of the population here? Well at least the hype went as far as PHILLY and we got a top six forward who appears to have a lot of upside.

And that it just accents that most of the people here don't know sports, don't know what a real player is actually? I think so. I mean, the results are in, that kid is just awful. Was he rushed? Sure, but man, that kid just didn't have talent, end of story.

So what do we have now? Gardiner is awesome, Kessel is along with Mogilny the most talented Leaf I have ever seen,JVR is a hot player, and we have some depth beyond that.

So what do we do now? Just keep building baby. Pittsburgh proved that you can almost have too much talent, and that you need a mix, a chemistry, a team, to win.

But thank god, what Chicago just proved tonight, is that no matter how brutally physical playoff hockey is, and how bad the ice gets at this time of the year, TALENT, and lots of it, all throughout the lineup,is the best thing to have.

The Leafs have Kessel,Gardiner, demi-Kadri, JVR and now an NHL goalie. The rest of the team, well Franson is doing a nice Larry Robinson lite impression as I always called.

Wtf...now that he's out of town you can speak your mind about him? Dafuq, are you senile? You used to rant endlessly about him.

He was excellent for Philly this year, instead of out of the league like you claimed he be.

Do you ever get sick of inventing history as if the rest of us weren't here for it and don't remember these things?

Kessel will re sign, everyone said Bozak was gone long before you even came back to the board, and Clarkson to Toronto is a 2 month old rumour.

Keep pretending that you're a ****ing sage though.
 
It's sad how much teeds brings down the quality of this board.......those few months without him around ruining threads really showed just how much of a cancer he is to the quality of the discussions.


sucks he isn't a man of his word, and came crawling back.
