I dont mind the salary as much as the conditions on the pick

Generally dont like the trade, probably worth more at deadline, but i guess teams would have wanted more salary retained then.

Not unhappy about moving kessel but the return seems low. Maybe if we weren't giving up a pick on top of it

I think if you waited until deadline you'd be disappointed in the return. It's not very easy to trade a high profile guy like Kessel at the deadline.

exactly and regardless we will receive a 1st rounder

Ya thats what i meant with salary, teams that have the cap space aren't making the playoffs and wont pay the premium, everyone else would have needed more retained.



We dont get a 1st if pittsburg misses twice which would be LOL


Mind you itll be a late first cuz pens have kessel malkin crosby

I guess Dubas was really high on Kapanen, said Kessel to PIT wasn't happening unless he was coming back.

theres no doubt its a bad move. kessel is talent. i get the feeling he was asked do you want to be here. and he said no.

We dont need talent atm, we need future talent moving him was the smart play, the question is if it was a good return.

Loving how toronto is giving out 1 year contracts to the veterans for the sole purpose of flipping them at the deadline for picks.

looks like we got kapanen and some rookies. so what you saying thats worth kessel?

Wow.
