Haha the Beauchemin trade was bad, but as a Duck fan I can always laugh at the Kessel trade more!

Something must have happened to Burke because when he was in Anaheim the guy could not draft to save his life. Glad to see he trusts his scouts in Toronto

@SonnyA89

Hey ya little cum guzzling grade A faggot the Bruins won the cup, lead the conference, went 12-0-1 in November, beat your faggot laffs 6-2, 7-0, 6-3, 4-1 and Seguin is on pace for a 35 goal season while being tops in +/-

eat your words hahahahaha

@Znbnm2012 Oh definitely. Anyway I love Phil Kessel. Also the Kaberle trade more than made up for it. Tyler Biggs + Joe Colborne is awesome. Kaberle was horrible for Boston and actually hurt them more than he helped them.

Rask also isn't so hot. He had one excellent season but has been quite mediocre since.

@AftComet

big time fleecing but Lupul, gardiner for blowchemin is a fleecing too

[AftComet]

As a Leafs fan I have to say it was a trade Boston completely won. I wouldn't trade Hamilton for Kessel straight up let alone add in Seguin and Knight. Hamilton is the next Pronger. Still not as bad as the Rask trade though.

Boston fleeced us plain and simple.

I was pissed when we traded kessel but I always knew seguin would be a star ever since he was drafted. Now I'm so happy, he's had a heat year just look at last nights game.

@whitecloud1980 Kessel didn't do anything until his 3rd yr. Seguin's improved so far this yr, but I think everyone who pointed to his low totals last yr and comapring him to Kessel is stupid. Kessel did jack squat his 1st 2 yrs-I'm a Bruins fan, I watched him do virtually nothing noteworthy to make an impact his 1st 2 yrs. & when he scored 36 he was playing w/ Savard

Kessel is a VERY good player. But give Tyler until his 3rd year to see what happens. A more valid comparison can then be made.

@MrEpikPenguin Ya exactly! And they say Boston will probably go far in the playoffs again this year, and probably win the cup again. Fuck that! They have no one that will do anything for them, except Thomas. Thomas will be the only reason they win games, period.

@Cogsy9216 Right. Vancouver had incredible offense, but lost due to their horrific goalie. I mean 8 goals in 7 games? It's all Luongo's fault! Boston's offense sucked, 23 goals? No offense up front. Especially that bum David Krejci who lead playoff scoring...
