No, that pick is McDavid protected. If they win the lottery it would be a 2016 pickBruyns wroteCOLONTraded the pick to the CanesMatthew wroteCOLONOff Topic, but it just occurred to me that if LA misses the playoffs, they could win McDavid. That'd be a little messed up.
do you think Florida comes out swining for Kessel? I do, they have a bold GM who doesn't mind making moves. They wont give up Bjudstad, Huber, Ekblad and probably a few others.Arian The Insider wroteCOLONYeah I would definitely try trading Kessel. Wouldn't take a shitty offer though. It has to be worth it.
who knows, Bob Mckenzie would have heard something about NY if they had interest. I dont see many fits for Kessel. Florida because they have the caproom, a no pressure market, and top young players to make a deal work.Matthew wroteCOLONI wonder if the Rangers would have considered Kessel with retained salary rather than Yandle?
Duclair + 1st + 2nd + Moore + (Something else, like Skjei)?
I think that's the base price the Panthers would start with. Petrovic + 1st + something else.kimmer wroteCOLONLol @ arian saying it wud have to be a good offer for kessel and all he said is 1st + petrovic
50% retained makes you sound nuts.Matthew wroteCOLONI don't see Florida giving up any of their core young pieces for a guy 7 or 8 years older than that core. Florida may make the playoffs now, but If they hold steady with this core they could be a top team in the east in 2 or 3 years. I could see the Blue Jackets being interested.
I could also see a team in a real win now position being interested. Anaheim has a ton of young assets with 4 million in cap space.
They already have Fowler, Beauchemin, Lindholm, Vatenen, Wisnieweski, Manson and Despres on the roster.
That is a pretty talented Defense. Given Perry and Getzlaf are about to turn 30, and Kesler is 30, Kessel wouldnt be out of place with that core.
This could be way off base, but you guys think they would do something around Nick Ritchie + Shea Theodore + Noesen with Kessel at 50% retained?
I didnt see how many years Kessel has left on his contract. Yikes. Yeah, 50% is too much for 7 years.The BBKL Insider wroteCOLON50% retained makes you sound nuts.Matthew wroteCOLONI don't see Florida giving up any of their core young pieces for a guy 7 or 8 years older than that core.

Regardless of what his teammates say kessel sure doesn't look like one of our strongest and fit players :/.Bruyns wroteCOLONYa no way they are retaining 50%. That's 4M in dead cap space until 2024. Kessel is only 27 so I don't think he is so old that he can't be a part of a future Leafs team. He is an ironman who never misses games and is supposedly one of the strongest and fit players every year at camp according to teammates and doesn't play a game that puts a lot of wear and tear on his body. I see no reason why he can't still be productive in his early 30s.
I'd actually take that offer with nothing retained, however the leafs would have to eat a bad contract if they had one.KapG wroteCOLONWhy thebfuck would we retain 50% of kessel? Also, if we did, wed surely get more than Ritchie, theadore and noesen. I mean, come on....
Lol you can't just do that. That makes literally no sense.Matthew wroteCOLONI know. I put the 2 Boston deals into 1 deal and erased everyone that ended up as nothing.Bruyns wroteCOLONRask was a couple years earlier, Jared Knight was the other player in that deal who luckily has turned out to be a bust for 32 overall or that would for sure be a historically bad trade. With what Boston received for Seguin the deal doesn't seem that bad now for what the Bruins ended up with, but Seguin and Hamilton are easily worth more than Kessel.Matthew wroteCOLONWhich is worse?
Vancouver trades Cam Neely for Nothing
Or
Toronto trades Rask, Seguin, Hamilton for Kessel
Two bad packages of deals. The bruins rob Canadian teams.
Yes it does. I wasn't comparing single deals. I was comparing what Boston took from each teams in exchange for what that team received.Shep wroteCOLONLol you can't just do that.
