Because he isn't the type of player that can play a strong 2-way game while putting up big numbers. Tyler Seguin has 24 PTS in 24 games while playing a defense first Julien system. kessel is so predictable. Cut down the wing with speed and try a toe drag. Kovalchuk has got size, speed and a way better shot than Kessel but he's useless to most teams. He can put up big numbers but where has he taken New Jersey, Atlanta?
@MentalEminence Dude, why do you keep mentioning Kovalchuk? Who gives a shit. If you want to talk about Kovalchuk then go to a Kovalchuk video and rant there. Also, if you read my comments, which I doubt you did, I NEVER said we got a better deal. I stated several times that Seguin IS a great player and that both teams benefited from the exchange. Stop putting words in my mouth. Yes, kessel WAS very predictable but his game has changed a lot. Yes, he is a good passer, like I said
I watch all the Leafs games and I'm a realistic fan so I acknowledge when Kessel is shit and when he's good. He used to come down the wing, toe drag and snap it short-side, but he got figured out. He also plays a lot better defense now. I like how his game has evolved. You keep acting like he's just stuck in a rut. He's 24 years old, of course his game isn't carved in stone, it can evolve, devolve, etc. Things change. Also, you need a good centreman to feed the wingers the puck. If
you don't know that then you don't know much about hockey I guess. What winger in the league does it all on his own? And oh, talk about Seguins +/-. Dude, HE PLAYS ON BOSTON! A much better overall team than Toronto with Tim Thomas in nets and Chara on defense. Yeah, Boston and especially Chara have Toronto's number this year, but who DOES respond well to a 6'9 dude getting in their face. I've yet to see a player master playing against that monster. Kessel is a -2 on a team that
still lacks consistent goaltending. Also, Toronto had something like 5 or 6 starters missing. Obviously without guys like Macarthur, Lombardi, Komisarek (yes, I said it. He's not amazing, but he's somewhat effective) they're going to have to substitute guys in. Anyways, like I said I never said either team won the trade, but you can't say we lost it considering we got a consistent 30+ (maybe 40+) goal scorer who's game HAS evolved a lot and matured. Seguin is also a great player.
Did you watch the Bruins games? Kessel had no answer when Chara got in his face. He was the reason the Bruins scored first. Kessel could have dumped the puck but saw chara and his one testicle went in hiding. He's truly one dimensional. He doesn't offer much when the going gets tough. And he's not a great passer. Why do you think Burke is trying so hard to find a # 1 center? Kessel doesn't create his own plays and when he has to score by himself he has to float around to do so bec
Still not seeing how Boston won this deal.. Are you suggesting that acquiring the league leader in points and goals for 3 rookies (2 of which have certainly not proven themselves) a bad trade. The trade was perfectly even. Unless the other 2 go on to score 30 goal seasons, I don't think you can say that boston won this trade.
Phil Kessel is Leading the league in points with 21. He also has 10 Goals in those 21 points. The Kessel - Lupul - Connolly Line is leading the team with the most points. The Leafs are also in 1st Place in the whole NHL. Obviously they aren't bound to win the cup but they are something special this year. People who still frown on the Kessel trade are probably mentally deficient. Burke has managed to turn the Leafs around in only 4 years! Seguin needs to prove himself. Not 30 points, atleast 40.
@furball411 You laugh at this trade? Hmm.. Let's see. Seguin an overrated rookie or Kessel, current league leader with 12 points in 6 games. The picks may turn in to nothin and Burke will look like a genius. It's funny because a lot of people have stopped doubting the trade. At the end of the season, I guarantee Seguin will not get over 35 points.
@HabsAreDust troll much? Seguin and Dougie Hamilton are franchise players and Jared Knight is a spedy second line winger. Their developing on schedule and the Leafs picked a one dimensional player who can snipe the puck. Kessel is a great player but I'd take three franchise cornerstones all day over a one dimensional fool. Your last statement about Seguin not getting over 35 points is really stupid too, I can't wait to shove it in your arrogant Canadian face by April
@furball411 Hey idiot.. that means the Habs have more than Boston, who have less than the leafs. Also, how can you call them franchise cornerstones? My god..
@furball411 you said you were a ducks fan. You also told HabsAreDust that the Habs have more than the Leafs. How's that 1 stanley cup treating you guys?
@calibratestudios it's great actually and we don't piss away draft picks for an overrated goal scorer or have fantasies that every single good player wants to play in Toronto
@HabsAreDust that was a very stupid trade but not as dumb as the Kessel deal. Besides, most of our other trades are great. Whitney for Lubo: win, Pronger for Sbisa, Lupul, two first rounders which ended up being top prospects Etem and Palmieri... I think those trades are a lot better than the shit you pulled for Kessel. SEGUIN! SEGUIN!
@furball411 so let me get this straight. We acquired the Leagues #2 Goal scorer and Point scorer for Seguin, an okay centre and Hamilton and Knight. This trade is basically Seguin and Hamilton for Kessel to start with. Knight is nothing special. 33 points in 30 games in the OHL. That seems good but this is the OHL we're talking about. 2. If Hamilton does not develop then what? Seguin for Kessel? The trade was a good even trade. There are morons like you who may think otherwise.
@HabsAreDust Who wouldn't grab up a sniper like Kessel who has already proven himself? And now, he's just been backing up my point. Let's not forget he is playing for the Leafs, a team who aren't ready for the playoffs yet. Seguin played on a stanley cup team. If you want to call Seguin better because he has a cup then I guess Brett Lebda must be good too because he has one.
@furball411 And don't lie to yourself. Your team made a terrible trade to the Leafs. And don't even try to go on about the good trades you've done in the past. Nobody is talking about the past otherwise we wouldn't be talking about this one specific trade. Look at Lupul now, 43 points, just behind Kessel. Those two are tearing it up, they're even being compared with the Sedins.
Yes Seguin had 1 game where he dominated but he was not the reason why the Bruins won. The only reason was Tim Thomas. You are delusional to think Seguin was MVP lol. Kessel is still the better player at this point. Bruin fans are idiots
@alchemist22 I never said Segin was MVP or that he was the only reason we won, but we couldn't have done it without him because we would have lost Game 2 and then went on to lose v.s. Tampa. Kessel is the better player at this point and will be a great player in the future, I never said he wasn't/wouldn't be.
@sunflowerpixie1 Nah I think Grabovski and Kulemin are both better than Kessel, thats y Kessel plays on the second line and Grabovski and Kulemin play on the first.
First off, Kessel is a far better player, the stats don't lie. Kulemin and Grabovski has breakout seasons last year. You're an embaressment to the Leafs if you think that Kessel plays on the 2nd line. Kessel is on the first line with Lupul and Connolly (currently Bozak) and Grabovski is on the 2nd line with Kulemin and MacArthur. Dumbass.
@HabsAreDust Stats? what Stats? the Grabovski, Kulemin, and MacArthur line combined a total of 177 points last year, more points than the shitty Kessel line. Kessel should learn how to play Defense like Kulemin, handle the puck and make sick passes like Grabovski does instead of being a one dimensional player who has a good shot. Kessel has the best shot but Kulemin and Grabovski have more dimensions to their games. They do much more than Kessel does, thats y I think their better all round.
@CorruptedFilms We're talking INDIVIDUAL STATS. First off, you stated that they were the first line, they're not, that was your first mistake. Second, Kessel played with Bozak (best a 3rd liner) and nobody for the first half of the season. They managed to acquire Lupul just before the All-star break, if I remember. His line has just become good. Don't talk. You compared one line to one player dumbfuck.
@HabsAreDust agree with you 100%. LOL. bruin fans still saying that they won the trade....what a joke. Kessel had more goals this year than seguin did points. Well, I guess seguin did tie kessels points total in his rookie season but it took him 17 extra games to do so!!I presume your a leafs fan? If so, since were talking about who won trades, how do you like Tyler Biggs, Joe colborne and JM Liles for kaberle? Kaberles going to do well on the bruins next seas......oh wait.
Kessel got 29 points in his rookie season. Seguin has 22.
Kessel has no accumulated 116 goals in 4 seasons.
Kessel has three 30 goals seasons.
Fuck these idiots who think Toronto got ripped off on that deal. Who wouldn't grab up a 30+ goal scorer (who's still young, btw) for a top pick who hasn't proven anything? I think with all the picks Burke has acquired this year and with how well Kessel did, we can finally put this Seguin over Kessel bullshit to bed. Seguin, you have a lot to prove.
Haha, thanks man. I'm just sick and tired of ignorant fans who listen to the media and don't think for themselves. Glad you and I are level headed, rational, and logical. Good on you!
@MrPaulCrupi Seguin got 107 points in 68 games in his last year before he joined the nhl.... hes our highest goal scorer, assister, and most points on the team... hes great
@supahcanfly Yes, I do agree that he's a great player. I never said that he wasn't, I just said he still isn't comparable to Kessel. Also, lets not count AHL stats because those don't translate to NHL at all. Also, might I remind you that Kessel currently has 10 goals and 11 assists in 14 games. Why bother comparing Seguin to Kessel? Let the kid develop and be happy that you have him, no one is telling you not to, but don't pretend like you guys ripped us off. Stats don't lie.
@MrPaulCrupi they act like they're geniuses and that we got ripped off. Such a joke. Some fans are just too arrogant to admit things. I can admit the leafs have sucked in the past years, especially during the time this video was made. Oh and Kessel now has 22 points.
@HabsAreDust Realistically, I really don't think either team got ripped off. Lets all just end it at this...Seguin is Boston's top scorer and Kessel is Toronto's (and the leagues) top scorer. Both teams benefit from this exchange. Why does every fan always have to insist that one team "won" the trade?
@Baseballbat95 Yup, Seguin is a great player and is going to be an elite player in the league. That being said, we still have Phil Kessel who is currently THE leading point getter and goal scorer in the league. They're both great players, so I wouldn't mind having either. I've never hated on Seguin, all I said was that we HAVE Kessel, so to say we got ripped off is ignorant. That's all.
Kovalchuk has 5 seasons of 40 + goals. What has he accomplished? Would you want him on the Leafs? Kessel can score goals...thats it. Goal scoring is one aspect but Kessel is no total package franchise player and thats why you dont give up 1st round picks especially when you're a shitty non playoff team to begin with.
@MentalEminence I WOULD have wanted Kovalchuk in his prime, but that's a loaded question. Everything I said was factual. Kessel had three 30+ goal seasons, and this year he's currently still in first in the scoring and point race. How does this make him a one dimensional player? And if you think he doesn't set guys up then you obviously don't watch any Leafs games. Oh, keep in mind he's only 24 and has been playing with Tyler Bozak (not a # 1 Centreman) for the past 2-3 years.
@Smokeeye123 I knew there would be someone sitting there waiting for the Leafs to "slide" before they made their comment. Listen, I respect everyone's opinion, but if you didn't have anything to say earlier, don't say anything now that it's convenient. Kessel has 13 goals and 12 assists in 19 games (still leading the NHL), so to answer your stupid question...Yes, I do feel the same way. Anything else?
@MrPaulCrupi yeah look at seguin now... and seguin plays all over... kessel's plus minus is a -2 but seguin has the best plus minus... if you think you got the better deal fine but i don't see you winning any championship with your man
@OptimusReim34 wow, your logic completely fucking fail beyond hockey comprehensive. Seguin is a rookie, compare to kessel rookie season, not fucking 2 seasons worth to a rookie.... wow....
@OptimusReim34 There's no way that you can pronounce the Leafs the winner yet. Seguin is 19 years old and is about to finish his rookie season. Why don't you wait a few years, see if Seguin pans out the way he's supposed to and THEN compare the two players.... Just a thought.
if the leafs were to make the playoffs and kessel have 40 goals then it might be a eve trade maybe but there not in the playoffs and kessel doesnt even have 30 goals yet .......... thank you kessel
1. Gustavsson is not a good goalie, basically a freebie for Seguin.
2. Tyler Seguin is shit, he has 10 Goals and 11 Assists... Let's see let's compare that to Kessel: Oh my 26 Goals and 21 Assists well that seems to be more than double the goals and nearly double the assists. And don't try to say oh he's a rookie so that's why, look at taylor hal; 21 Goals and 19 Assists far better than Seguin. I was so glad we the leafs didn't draft that piece of shit.
@HabsAreDust Seguin plays on the 4th line and plays less than 15 minutes each game. I'm not saying he's better than Kessel because he's not but he certainly isn't shit.
@TommyRizos what I don't understand is how can you say he isn't shit if he's on the 4th line. If you're not bad, you're not on the 4th line, rookie or not.
@HabsAreDust Right now?? The Bruins are in the playoffs, and Toronto is stuck out once again. Yaaaaaaaaaa, that deal is looking real good for you..... ahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Not to mention Kessel and Wilson don't get along. Thats a REAL good sign
I'm pretty sure one player doesn't make a team...and yes this trade does look good, Kessel has 13 points in his last 11 games and has 53 points this season. Not to mention he's got double Seguin's shitty stats. And Kessel and Wilson not getting along? Wtf are You on about? that's old news and I'm pretty sure it was clear that most players don't always communicate with their coaches.
@HabsAreDust Wow. Take off your leaf glasses for a second and realize that kessel has had a few more seasons under his belt. I hope Kessel is better than Seguin right now or that would be downright embarrasing. Seguin is also only getting tops 15 minutes, because the Bruins are transitioning him into the NHL and trying to develop him better devensively. Something Kessel doesn't know how to do. You can keep your selfish forward. I'd take Seguin over Kessel any day.
@zcharafan30 " I'd take Seguin over Kessel any day." That will haunt you one day. Kessel has recently done a much better job back-checking... Seguin can't play defensive he's shit. and Selfish? You must be retarded...How can you call a player with 25 Assists out of 53 Points? So what if he has 3 more goals? Have you not seen him play, he's always setting things up.. OH my fucking god you are an idiot.
@HabsAreDust Buddy, this is his first year in the NHL give the kid a break. Rarely does a rookie come into the league and destroy everybody. Thats what there trying to develop into him, they want him to be a good two way forward. That doesnt happen overnight. And yes i would take Seguin over Kessel anyday, Kessel is a cancer in the dressing room, always has been, always will be. And when he isn't scoring he blames coach's and say things to the likes of "maybe things aren't working out here".
He plays in FUCKING TORONTO, they have to hardest media. It's hard when you don't usually talk to the media in the first place but to play where the media tries to find your flaws? That's not easy. It's called pressure, everyone faces it at some point. He didn't blame the coach dumb ass. Kessel is WAAAAY better than seguin and it will always be that way.
@HabsAreDust Im quite aware of where he plays retard. He chooses to dodge the media game after game, until he starts doing bad, and than he stand in front of his stall waiting for the reporters to come around. Maybe you should read the article. And only time will tell if kessel is the better player, way to early to be deciding that
@HabsAreDust That is definitly not a player i would want sitting on my bench. Man up, everybody goes into droughts. And if you compare stats in rookie seasons; Kessel 29 pts in 70, Seguin 22 pts in 66. Kessel sure wasn't blowing people away in his rookie season either. And if you want to take it a step farthur into the bruins development; Joe Thornton rookie season 7 pts in 55. And look at his progression as a bruin. 7, 41, 60, 71,68,101. I have no worries with how the bruins are handling Seguin
No surprises here, Komisarek was on the ice when the Leafs were scored on. Terrible signing. I'll grab an orange pylon from the road and we can pay it $5 million a year - trust me it will do a better job than Komisarek.
the kessel trade in my opinion was a bad one for leafs. burke tried to rebuild them fast by trading Seguin for Kessel, it had some hope but it was ultimately a bad trade. i think the leafs need to completely rebuild similar to what the kings are doing, by building through the draft
@asspirate123456 The leafs have some players from the draft that are hoping to make a big impact. They have Luke Schenn, Nazem Kadri, Greg Mckegg, and Jerry D'amigo. But their is no guarantee these guys are gonna develop, the leafs have bad luck with draft picks. Jiri Tlusty, Alex Steen, and Carlo Colaiacovo were all first round leaf picks that went bust.
@CorruptedFilms Yeah I think Schenn is getting better this year. I heard they just called up Kadri for tomorrow nights game against the Canucks. As for D'amigo, I have never heard of him lol.
As for their shitty draft picks in the past, I thought Steen and Colaiacovo did alright in TO I thought Tlusty was just bad luck for the Leaf's. I mean look at the draft first round and see the other players they could have picked instead of Tlusty...
Hey Maple Laff fans... do you think when Brian Burke is done building Boston that he could help build the Habs next. Maybe after that he can do Buffalo and Snottawa. Everyone should get their turn.... 'cept Toronto of course - LOL!
@JohnnyWrecked He's not a 50 goal scorer, but there's a possibility when this team gets better that he may hit that mark once and also may tally 40 a couple of times. He could have probably done it (40 goals) last year if he wasn't injured but regardless he scored 30 goals WITHOUT a training camp.
@blackginger20 Yea, if Kessel had someone in Toronto..I wouldn't wanna know how many points he'd rack up.
He has 63 with Bozak and Lupul! If it weren't for Lupul he wouldn't have as many so just imagine if he had a star to replace Bozak! He'd have like 80+ points and maybe 40+ goals!
@JohnnyWrecked true say. i like having him on the leafs but he hasn't done that yet. I Hope he could with the right guy feeding him like it was when he was in Boston.
@89donman With the right talent alongside I can see him doing it, for sure. He didn't fit in with the Bruins style and that's okay. It's him not wanting to be here is why we take it personally.
Can't wait for all of this Bruins/Leafs hate to die down. Both fanbases have gone to Hell and back and we're all still waiting to see a Cup. We also share the same hatred for the Habs. The hate was built on draft picks on our side. Of course we wanted the best possible draft pick. Leafs playoffs 2011-12
Kessel asked to leave Boston and we got the 2nd overall pick thanks to the Leafs for sucking last year!! So Mrbiggs, I will take the 18 year-old for the gut-less chump whose track record got him benched in the playoffs for not being a playoff warrior but is a great regular season guy who could win individual awards but won't get that team award named STANLEY!! Lets Go Bruins!!
WTF, Seguin has THREE goals in his career and now hes a fuckin superstar??? Get real boston, i'm not saying if he'll be great or not, but watch him play a full season before you bring out the annointing oil.
@mrbiggs36 hey man, calm down, theres been 8 games and hes rookie. no need to get offensive about shit, just because your jealous that your team cant have him doesnt mean you gotta freak out just because people said thank you kessel. why dont you get real? fag
@mrbiggs36 yeah offensive you fucking cock sucking homo. your mothers great in bed you douche. good be ha[ppy with the fuck up. seguin is only a rookie just wait. kessel sucks over all. catch ya later fuck face
@lambofgod122 blah blah blah seguins only a rookie. and kessel's a veteran? W/e this argument is dumb. Seguin isn't as good as kessel is right now, FACT. You can assume all you want for the future, you never know if he'll be good or bust. But "thanking" kessel is just DUMB at this early point.
@cyber151 Just to let you know the odds of the leafs getting a franchise player from the draft are against them. The Leafs had a history of bad luck with first round draft picks. Boston will do well with rebuilding their team around draft picks, The leafs wont just because there is to much pressure in Toronto. The Leafs have not drafted a franchise player since 1985 Wendel Clarke.
@cyber151 Yeah its funny that Joe Bowen is normally very astute and cool and the best really, would not have picked that up. Perhaps not paying attention. Leafs bad mistakes continue in perpetuity
@asspirate123456 Let's not go that far dope...Kessel will be a 50 goal scorer. Plus when Toronto got Kessel, they had no idea they would finished 2nd to last in the league. If Toronto won 2 more games, we wouldn't have gotten Taylor or Tyler...and the trade wouldn't look nearly as good.
I think when the leafs traded away their first rounder that turned into Scott Neidemeyer for Tom Kurvers, that was a little more one sided.
Oh habsaredust already said tht lol

Let's not forget he is playing for the Leafs, a team who aren't ready for the playoffs yet. Seguin played on a stanley cup team. If you want to call Seguin better because he has a cup then I guess Brett Lebda must be good too because he has one.
HabsAreDust 1 month ago
@furball411 And don't lie to yourself. Your team made a terrible trade to the Leafs. And don't even try to go on about the good trades you've done in the past. Nobody is talking about the past otherwise we wouldn't be talking about this one specific trade. Look at Lupul now, 43 points, just behind Kessel. Those two are tearing it up, they're even being compared with the Sedins.

@alchemist22 I never said Segin was MVP or that he was the only reason we won, but we couldn't have done it without him because we would have lost Game 2 and then went on to lose v.s. Tampa.

@CorruptedFilms I think you're retarded.
First off, Kessel is a far better player, the stats don't lie. Kulemin and Grabovski has breakout seasons last year. You're an embaressment to the Leafs if you think that Kessel plays on the 2nd line. Kessel is on the first line with Lupul and Connolly (currently Bozak) and Grabovski is on the 2nd line with Kulemin and MacArthur. Dumbass.
HabsAreDust 4 months ago
@HabsAreDust Stats? what Stats? the Grabovski, Kulemin, and MacArthur line combined a total of 177 points last year, more points than the shitty Kessel line. Kessel should learn how to play Defense like Kulemin, handle the puck and make sick passes like Grabovski does instead of being a one dimensional player who has a good shot. Kessel has the best shot but Kulemin and Grabovski have more dimensions to their games. They do much more than Kessel does, thats y I think their better all round.
CorruptedFilms 4 months ago
@CorruptedFilms We're talking INDIVIDUAL STATS. First off, you stated that they were the first line, they're not, that was your first mistake. Second, Kessel played with Bozak (best a 3rd liner) and nobody for the first half of the season. They managed to acquire Lupul just before the All-star break, if I remember. His line has just become good. Don't talk. You compared one line to one player dumbfuck.
HabsAreDust 4 months ago
@HabsAreDust agree with you 100%. LOL. bruin fans still saying that they won the trade....what a joke. Kessel had more goals this year than seguin did points. Well, I guess seguin did tie kessels points total in his rookie season but it took him 17 extra games to do so!!I presume your a leafs fan? If so, since were talking about who won trades, how do you like Tyler Biggs, Joe colborne and JM Liles for kaberle? Kaberles going to do well on the bruins next seas......oh wait.

Kessel has three 30 goals seasons.
Fuck these idiots who think Toronto got ripped off on that deal. Who wouldn't grab up a 30+ goal scorer (who's still young, btw) for a top pick who hasn't proven anything? I think with all the picks Burke has acquired this year and with how well Kessel did, we can finally put this Seguin over Kessel bullshit to bed. Seguin, you have a lot to prove.

@supahcanfly Yes, I do agree that he's a great player. I never said that he wasn't, I just said he still isn't comparable to Kessel.

@HabsAreDust Realistically, I really don't think either team got ripped off. Lets all just end it at this...Seguin is Boston's top scorer and Kessel is Toronto's (and the leagues) top scorer.

I've never hated on Seguin, all I said was that we HAVE Kessel, so to say we got ripped off is ignorant. That's all.

Kovalchuk has 5 seasons of 40 + goals. What has he accomplished? Would you want him on the Leafs? Kessel can score goals...thats it. Goal scoring is one aspect but Kessel is no total package franchise player and thats why you dont give up 1st round picks especially when you're a shitty non playoff team to begin with.

@MentalEminence I WOULD have wanted Kovalchuk in his prime, but that's a loaded question. Everything I said was factual. Kessel had three 30+ goal seasons, and this year he's currently still in first in the scoring and point race. How does this make him a one dimensional player? And if you think he doesn't set guys up then you obviously don't watch any Leafs games. Oh, keep in mind he's only 24 and has been playing with Tyler Bozak (not a # 1 Centreman) for the past 2-3 years.

2. Tyler Seguin is shit, he has 10 Goals and 11 Assists... Let's see let's compare that to Kessel: Oh my 26 Goals and 21 Assists well that seems to be more than double the goals and nearly double the assists. And don't try to say oh he's a rookie so that's why, look at taylor hal; 21 Goals and 19 Assists far better than Seguin. I was so glad we the leafs didn't draft that piece of shit.

@HabsAreDust Wow. Take off your leaf glasses for a second and realize that kessel has had a few more seasons under his belt. I hope Kessel is better than Seguin right now or that would be downright embarrasing. Seguin is also only getting tops 15 minutes, because the Bruins are transitioning him into the NHL and trying to develop him better devensively. Something Kessel doesn't know how to do. You can keep your selfish forward. I'd take Seguin over Kessel any day.
zcharafan30 11 months ago
@zcharafan30 " I'd take Seguin over Kessel any day." That will haunt you one day. Kessel has recently done a much better job back-checking... Seguin can't play defensive he's shit. and Selfish? You must be retarded...How can you call a player with 25 Assists out of 53 Points? So what if he has 3 more goals? Have you not seen him play, he's always setting things up.. OH my fucking god you are an idiot.
HabsAreDust 11 months ago
@HabsAreDust Buddy, this is his first year in the NHL give the kid a break. Rarely does a rookie come into the league and destroy everybody. Thats what there trying to develop into him, they want him to be a good two way forward. That doesnt happen overnight. And yes i would take Seguin over Kessel anyday, Kessel is a cancer in the dressing room, always has been, always will be. And when he isn't scoring he blames coach's and say things to the likes of "maybe things aren't working out here".

He plays in FUCKING TORONTO, they have to hardest media. It's hard when you don't usually talk to the media in the first place but to play where the media tries to find your flaws? That's not easy.

zcharafan30 11 months ago
@HabsAreDust That is definitly not a player i would want sitting on my bench. Man up, everybody goes into droughts. And if you compare stats in rookie seasons; Kessel 29 pts in 70, Seguin 22 pts in 66. Kessel sure wasn't blowing people away in his rookie season either. And if you want to take it a step farthur into the bruins development; Joe Thornton rookie season 7 pts in 55. And look at his progression as a bruin. 7, 41, 60, 71,68,101. I have no worries with how the bruins are handling Seguin

I think when the leafs traded away their first rounder that turned into Scott Neidemeyer for Tom Kurvers, that was a little more one sided.

dont get me wrong, as a habs fan i'm more than amused by the fact the leafs got ripped off, but it was more bad luck than a dumb trade.
