[Arian The Insider]

John Moore to NJ, 3 x 1.6M

[Matthew]

good lord, kassian + 5th for prust. What a fuck show in Vancouver right now.

Just when kassian is beginning to show some of his potential, they dump him for nothing...

[Matthew]

rumor semin could be heading to the pens. if true, and he manages to reinvigorate that career of his, holy hell.

kessel - crosby - hornqvist

perron - malkin - semin

[anton]

ok now im legit pissed.

pens 1st 2016 is protected if they miss the playoff. what kind of crock of horse shit is this?

it's unfathomable to me that we would give up a 2nd but not only that, the 1st we do get is lottery protected.

seriously, fuck this deal and this team. we got absolutely bent over.

[The BBKL Insider]

Odd they took kapenen over pouliot. Kapenen didnt have impressive numbers last year at all.

[Arian The Insider]

I doubt pouliot was really available

5% odds pitt misses playoffs? Not a big deal.

[Matthew]

yeah, the chances pittsburgh missed the playoffs without kessel are low. with kessel, probably nil.

it's not that. im still fine with the return, but it's knowing how easily our management just bent over and took it that pisses me off.

here we are trading arguably a top 5 winger in the league and we:

1. didn't get either of the PIT's top 2 D prospects
2. retained 15%
3. added a 2nd round pick
4. gave the 1st lottery protection

at what point in all this do you say enough is enough and take a fuckin stand. we are the ones trading the superstar, we shouldn't be begging and caving at every turn in the negotiation. there is zero reason we should have added a 2nd and given the 1st protection. zero.

[Arian The Insider]

Apparently Babcock came to Toronto on the condition that Kessel would be dealt

[Bruyns]

We still lost the deal, but sounds like they were set on moving him and between the no trade clause and cap hit there wasn't many options. Also heard Pouliot was never offered even though it was rumoured he was

[Bruyns]

I find that hard to believe

[thom54]

I do NOT like this deal for TOR.

[foofnik]

ROR 7x7.5m per. There goes my cap.

[foofnik]

Mike Green 3 years 6m to Detroit. Not where I expected him to land at all.

[bills09]

Kapanen played very well in the ahl playoffs as an 18 year old

Save cap for Stamkos

[Matthew]

Mike Green 3 years 6m to Detroit. Not where I expected him to land at all.

i believe this will be good for him.

[Matthew]

spooner 2 yrs @ .95 million

[kyuss]

let me get this straight: Pens 1st is protected AND the 2nd they are getting is TOR 2nd? so for the Leafs that's just an upgrade of the pick from early 2nd to late 1st?!
