This years draft sucks people. It's not like last years...kessel had 29 points in 70 games in his rookie season. Seguin has 22 points in 70 games right now.....If you want to talk about shit trades then let's talk about kaberle for colborne+a 1st rounder....colborne - kaberle.
Burke is a baffoon! Wilson can't win! Phaneuf is in a coma! Kessel is a joke! Worst of all, The Ontario Teachers is as bad as Harold Ballard, except there's 1/4 million Ballards' instead of one! I can't even make it through the first period to watch Cherry anymore. I quit. I'm becoming a football fan. Go Packers.
not if they trade sturm and ryder here in a couple weeks kessel for two 1st roiund picks was a terrible deal tyler seguin and a other top 5 pick will have more success then kessel im not dissing kessel hes goood but not as good as two top 5 picks
bruins def won that deal im pumped to have seguin and when toronto finishes in the bottom 5 again we will have a even better player bruin>leafs sorry burke
@TheXxJoK3rxX funny. I guess when Boston in the past 5 years, traded away 2 first round superstars. Kessel, thorton. Theyre going to do the same. And when those picks become good. Say bye bye to your cap space. Theyll get traded due to you guys having terrible cap troubles.
haha i was at the last bruins-maple leafs game and i participated in the boo-ing of him touching the puck every single time along with the other 17,000
How do you leaf fans like Kessel now? Wait till he starts getting used to losing every night, just like the rest of the leafs. Already Exelby and Mayers are asking for trades, by next year you will be able to add Kessel to the list of those who want out of Toronto.
@jediangler We leaf fans are enjoying phil kessel thanks for asking. Hes scoring and thats what he was brought to do. He knows this team is re building and were already looking good with young guys. And as for Exelby and mayers......LOL Come on, really? Well its a shame mayers is gone now. I mean we got dion phaneuf and keith aulie but darn i am going to miss mayers :(
@jediangler 30 goals missing the first two months of the season? played a full season the year before and 36.. clearly he isn't done with scoring goals and he's only 22 or 23? He's going to be a promising player. PS also did it without shit savard and no playmakers on the leafs. Recently has been Tyler Bozak , to his credit.
Chops you are a fucking moron. Boston is one of the lowest scoring teams in the league. Kessel was their top scorer...do some research you tubby bastard!
leafs are 7-3-0 in there last ten and kessel has 20 points in 21 games you dumb fuck. the leafs just picked up a 50 goal scorer for a few picks dipshit.
BLAKE?!?!? LOL he is playing like shit... stop fuckin thinking ur crosby and tryin to dangle the whole team along the boards and behind the net... stop shooting while on the goal line, pass to fuckin kessel when ur on his line instead of being a fukin puck hog, and last but not least STOP PLAYIN HOCKEY BLAKE
By now I think the Phil Kessel trade is not good. Leafs are waiting for an injured player to get well, meanwhile they are winless. The players look confused and uncoordinated on ice. As a Leafs fan it is disappointing. That's what I'm talking about. God damn you are fucking stupid, any half intelligent sports fan knows what I'm talking about, that's why only you asked....(groan).
The Kessel trade is not good? We're four games into the fucking season..for all we know the Bruins could draft a fucking flop.
They're waiting on an injured player? Kessel is 22 years old do you think Kessel is some kind of short term answer or something? Yes he's injured now and he likely will be injured for another few weeks.
Oh cool 1967... How original. Come up with something new dumbass. At the end of the day,WE are the ones that got the rising star on our team. Keep hating morons.
kessel is a great player, but one player can't win at all for the team especially at this level.. my guess is the leafs will make the playoffs but get eliminated first round
Looool TY burkey!!!! As a bruins fan I am pumped! Goal scorer sure. Not much else. Certainly not a team player. Ego problems won't be helped with that insane new contract. I will gladly take those two top 5-10 picks PLUS the 2nd.... The bruins DO NOT lose. Sturm is back and HE will still get 35+ with savard. Almost any sniper can with savvy...
@MikeFromCanada9 pal we hate him cause he didnt want to play hockey here... we offered him pretty much the same contract just 1 year less and 1 year less of money as well and he didnt take it.
@MikeFromCanada9 what are you retarded. kessel was a little bitch in the bruins locker room and didnt want to be there anymore, so the bruins moved on and ROBBED the leafs in that trade. If the leafs would have gotten Kessel + the picks and the Bruins just got Seguin the bruins STILL would win that trade.
Leafs got Kessel...a streaky 35g 60p player. Bruins got a future star line 1 center who will go 80+points. Oh and Taylor Knight, and who theyll get with the leafs pick this year + THEIR OWN
@MikeFromCanada9 honestly ppl here were split on him. actually kessel was scratched 2 games in the playoffs by julien. i know upper management didnt like him much and he didnt like boston. the players in the locker room didnt like him, he wouldnt work out or do the extra things or back check. i liked him and thought his offense abilities were game changing. hopefully seguin and the future 1st round pick will be better
@MikeFromCanada9 regardless of play, if you dont just back em up because hes on your team everyone knows hes a dick. I thought so when he WAS a bruin. My friend went to get his autograph and he groaned and said fine, reluctantly walking over after a game. He thinks too highly of himself, and thats why we hate em
Top 5-10? They were wayyy worse last year yet they finished in 7th.. More like 12-18.
The Leafs were already a pretty legit contender for a playoff spot before Kessel but everyone thought they would have trouble scoring so they added a 21 yr old who scored 35 goals..
Sturm has never put up 30 in his life. While you're going with the ridiculous predictions, how about Bergeron for 45-60-105 and the hart trophy?? Kobasew for 59-47-106 and the Art Ross and Richard? Chara for the Lady Byng???
lol he has a NTC and burke wants him.. if any player will be traded then white and his 850k contract is the front runner. Kaberle makes 4 million and Boston has 1.5 million in cap room
This is awesome. People can say that he played with Savard last year, but there's a reason he was drafted so high. He has skill. Period. He scored 19 the year before, which is amazing for his age, and that was without Savard. He's still only 21, and not even in his prime. This is huge for us. He'll be a perenial 35 goal scorer.
As a Leaf fan, I'm pretty excited about Kessel joining the Blue N' White; gotta say though, this is a tough one for the Bruins, he was a huge part of their team up front as he showed last season. If the Leafs weren't involved in this trade, I'd actually be disappointed that he's traded from Boston. Oh well, I guess Boston's loss is the Leaf's gain now:-)
Yeah I do remember 67. We won the cup then. Who wouldn't remember that, and don't pull that "last year you won the cup bullshit" out like everyone else
Kessel is a future 50 goal scorer... and only playing 70 games sucked... This deal would put the leafs into playoff contention and actually fight for the 7th or 8th spot!
This years draft sucks people. It's not like last years...kessel had 29 points in 70 games in his rookie season. Seguin has 22 points in 70 games right now.....If you want to talk about shit trades then let's talk about kaberle for colborne+a 1st rounder....colborne - kaberle.
