Yay, another Kessel thread

[Phil The Thrill]

So Darren Dreger reported that the Leafs received a reasonable offer for Phil Kessel. Personally I will be beyond pissed if he is traded, and I doubt we get back what we trade for him.

You already did sorta (re: Kaberle)

If by some grace of god you manage to unload Komisarek's contract with Kessel, as well as getting a reasonable piece back, you'd benefit from the long run.

That's true. Would leave more cap space, but I kind of want to see a duo Brad and Kessel happen still; hopefully.

All we got to do for Kessel is get him a first line centre, and he would explode offensively. He is already a thirty goal scorer without one. If we can't sign Richards, we need to seriously look at Brooks Laich.

I wouldn't mind if Kessel got traded.

Brooks Laich won't make Kessel explode offensively

 

[Rios15]

Yeah. Laich is an average playmaker at best, and I don't see him as a first line type of guy. I don't know. Not saying he would be a bad pickup though. He'd be a great asset for us.

If we could get rid of Komisarek's contract like WBG mentioned, then I wouldn't mind either. As long as it's all for the best; I'm not totally crazy over Kessel anyway, but he's a great goal scorer so it's definitely got to benefit us greatly if we're trading him.

I meant Richards would. Laich would be an improvement over Bozak though.

 

[H-MYK]

Why would the Leafs trade Kessel? I can't see that happening.

 

[The Guid]

Because he's one dimensional and if Burke can get as much (or maybe even more) as he gave up for Kessel, he should give it a lot of thought.

 

[Buffalo]

If they could get some youth out of it ( Like what TML traded for Kessel) I would so do it.
