you're gonna be real busy around here with that attitudeI was just making a needed correction.
don't you remember the Kessel debates? a point against Phil was that he was American.Yeah, every organization always gives the support guy 11 million and the fucking captain C. Stop this.
Tavares was brought in to be the leader of a group of young guys who hadn't yet posted a single 70 point season between them. The leader. That's what the C means.
Why does any of this matter? Why do you care if good players come from Mississauga, Eglington & Yonge, Scottsdale, or Mars?
Guess who won the Kessel debates in the end.don't you remember the Kessel debates? a point against Phil was that he was American.
Lilly looks to be in against the Kings

Kessel was never the problem here.
I mean I'm happy to relitigate, but my recollection is a clear L for LOF on the Kessel debates.Guess who won the Kessel debates in the end.
this we agree onKampf at 3C makes the bottom 6 look like shit, and Reaves makes it doomed.
I hope you’re joking because I can’t take more bullshit from this place today.I mean I'm happy to relitigate, but my recollection is a clear L for LOF on the Kessel debates.
you seem unwilling to accept that other people can have a different opinion about the same set of facts as you. this is the case here. you mischaracterize the pro-Kessel argument.I hope you’re joking because I can’t take more bullshit from this place today.
maybe we should just create dedicated threads?

A) Jake Muzzin is a premier shut-down d-man - DISCUSSION;
B) The Phil Kessel trade (with BOS) was a great trade for TOR - DISCUSSION;
C) etc.
yeah that is this season's early winner. last year was Muzz, but we seem to be over that for the time being.The "All Things Tavares Thread" will have 783 pages in a week
He was a complementary piece. They had two 1Cs and other star players.Pure fucking nonsense. Front to back nonsense. People keep retconning obvious mistakes by the GM (no lottery protection, signing the worst sieve in the league as your starter) as attached to the move itself. When you can get a 21 yr old with the potential to be one of the top 10 offensive players in hockey for 2 1sts, you do it every time.
"A complimentary piece"
2 seasons combined Playoff scoring paces
Complimentary Phil Kessel: 30G 45A, 75PTS
Cornerstone Sid & Gino
Sid: 24G, 55A, 79 PTS
Gino: 31G 51A, 82 PTS
and Phil led the team in scoring for the 1st cup run. 3rd best player on back to back cup champions is not a complimentary piece.
