So pretty much every sports teams fans ever that think they know anything about running a team. Reminds me of people in gaming side acting like they could run Nintendo better than Iwata.

Kesler would never agree to go to the Rangers unless the offer was ridiculous. I don't think he's AV's biggest fan.

 

[Socreges]

Offensively stupid makes for entertaining TV. Hence why the TSN panel is so dull.

I was saying the opposite. The TSN panel had more offensively stupid people and is thus more entertaining. Sportsnet is completely flavourless.

Why would Kesler care what the offer was? If he doesn't want to go play for AV he's not going to go even if the Rangers offer the Canucks the moon.

Yep, all that skill and none of the bigotry. Datsyuk 2.0 in a few years.

 

[Red_Man]

Forgot to mention yesterday that Friedman was on the radio in Montreal and asked about this MSL situation and was asked if there was more to it then just the Olympic snub, and he roughly said that he's aware of other factors contributing to it, and it's pretty emotional stuff but he's not going to bring it up right now, but he's sure it will come out to the press eventually. He also said he's known about it for a while now.

Soooooo..........MSL slept with Yzerman's wife.

You can't teach size!!!

This one is my favourite, it's like half the guys playing NHL 14 with their 6'7 huge players taking runs at guys.

Maybe he should give a little talk to Cleary about end of the game bullshit.

So what you're saying is Datsyuk is Paula Deen.

Would've been a team-first approach but yeah he's going to dictate where he wants to go despite the offers.

Kesler and Tanev will play, Lack starts. So the line-up is basically 100% healthy:

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Higgins-Kesler-Hansen
Booth-Richardson-Kassian
Sestito-Schroeder-Dalpe
Lain

Hamhuis-Tanev
Garrison-Edler
Stanton-Bieksa
Diaz

Lack
Luongo

 

[Smiley90]

Lack starting again? Is Luongo injured too or what?


Wooo for a healthy defense again finally.

[Red_Man]

There is a crapload of talk for Kesler right now. Told that just about half the league has inquired.

Hopefully this makes trade Center actually interesting this year.

 

[Smiley90]

Riding the hot hand.

I guess....


Also reports are supposedly the pens made an offer for Kesler before the Olympics that included Sutter, Pouliot +

Hopefully this makes trade Center actually interesting this year.

I'm not surprised given how good he is, BUT I DONT LIKE ALL THIS ATTENTION.

I'm scared. I don't trust Gillis.

Lol wut. It's Pierre though, so this is all just baseless assumption.

Lol wut. It's Pierre though, so this is all just baseless assumption.

More centres!

 

[Smiley90]

Kesler also plays RW which is probably what the Pens' reason for interest was with Dupuis out.

Kunitz-Crosby-Kesler ew.

 

[Silexx]

"@SensChirp: "To acquire Phillips, Boston would likely have to surrender a top prospect and a draft pick." #Sens

Damn it! Don't make trading Phillips this tempting for me!

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Pens have barely any cap space so they'd have to shed a bit of salary to get Kesler. Sutter makes around $2M and they have some decent prospects. I don't know if Sutter has a ceiling of being a 2C or 1C though. A team with Crosby, Malkin, and Kesler would be terrifying.

I'm a bit surprised it's come to this though. Kesler is the Canucks' future 1C when Henrik gets older, not the impetus for a retool/rebuild. But he is their best trade asset along with Edler so the return should be substantial.

If Gillis pulls it off he'll keep his job. I highly doubt he'd get fleeced considering how stubborn he is with trades, but if nothing of note happens at the deadline Gillis is gone after this year.

Next week should be interesting.

 

[Razorskin]

Lol wut. It's Pierre though, so this is all just baseless assumption.

Do we have anymore Swiss defencemen to trade the Canucks?

 

[Freyjadour]

I think he will be because....A) Buffalo wants to trade him. B) There are a limited number of teams interested. Other than the Blues, the word is Minnesota and Washington. The Wild need more than a goaltender, so why would they outbid other teams. Washington is a wild card. Armstrong has a history of getting his man, and the Blues have the resources to make it happen. Plus, the Blues probably give Miller the best opportunity to win and re-sign, so that would seem to make it lean in that direction as well. The Sabres are on the record saying that Miller has been a "good solider" and they want to help him.

by jrutherford 12:35 PM

JR doesn't usually speak to trades, but he's our best beatwriter by a mile. Caught nothing of Bouwmeester last year. Still think the offer is much lower than what Buffalo has been asking.

 

[Silexx]

Apparently, Chris Phillips is representing himself in his contract talks with Ottawa. His agent his JP Barry. Phillips is clearly a smart man. I'm betting he stays.

Also, I don't think this is news per say, but rumblings of the Sens asking about Stewart are popping up again.

 

[Red_Man]

Kesler also plays RW which is probably what the Pens' reason for interest was with Dupuis out.

Kunitz-Crosby-Kesler ew.

Reports have said he's not happy playing RW, so I imagine he'd want to be traded to a contender where he can play C.

Do we have anymore Swiss defencemen to trade the Canucks?

Andrighetto is a Swiss forward, close enough.

 

[Cake Boss]

To acquire Phillips, Boston would likely have to surrender a top prospect and a draft pick. Current Providence Bruins forward Ryan Spooner, who has played 22 games for Boston this season, could be the prospect to seal the deal, but it's unlikely the Bruins would part ways with the talented forward.

Philips wants a 2 year contract, the Sens offered just for 1 year

Lebrun.


Oh man oh man oh man oh man the dream is becoming a reality.

Lol if we can fleece Boston for a top prospect.

 

[Quick]

Boston gonna swallow Cake Boss' load.
