Take your rightful place, Kesler!

 

[Giggzy]

What a great trade. We hang on to tiger woods, don't lose the 10th pick, and get kesler.

I'll miss bonino, sbisa not so much.

GM of the year

 

[KingHenrik30]

If players don't invoke escalator there will be less money to go around for them. They do and it'll fuck with the Escrow. Damned if you do.

[Fei]

So Van is going to jump up and grab Reinhart at #1? I wonder if the Sabres look to drop down a bit if that happens.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

A year ago the Canucks had Kesler, Luongo, and Schneider.
Now they have Bonino, Sbisa, a 1st rounder, Matthias, Markstrom, and Horvat.

 

[yyzjohn]

It begins. Watch Nonis work his magic*








*magic involves limping up to the podium to draft 8th.

Phaneuf, clarkson and 8th overall for the sedins

I feel like we're going to go through something similar this year.

I feel like we're going to go through something similar this year.

Only after/if you miss the playoffs.

Thought Bonino was 24 so I'm less impressed, but still good.

[equippedwithtowel]

Well this doesn't bode well.

You guys have some wicked pieces to get great returns.
Hope your GM does a good job.

 

[DopeyFish]

Coyotes may be buying out ribeiro?

UFA Centers everywhereeeee

 

[zroid]

Nonis is probably insane enough to draft Ho-Sang at #8. Too bad he has pretty much zero hope of reaching his potential within the Leafs system.

 

[cube444]

Ducks now gonna package that 10th overall pick for a top 4 d-man according to Manics.

 

[E-DuB]

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Anaheim will trade Bonino, Sbisa plus 24th overall pick and teams will swap third-rounders once deal goes through

KING KESLER NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 56s
Now that VAN has traded Kesler to ANA, hearing VAN still very active, may still be looking for No. 1 overall, perhaps trading Garrison.

MY HEART. I HAVE TO LEAVE FOR WORK IN AN HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KingHenrik30]

Did anyone really think teams were gonna top value for players with NMCs?

 

[DopeyFish]

I dont really trust our development system at all.

So they should just skip that and put him in the lineup

Well worked for Schenn?

It would have to be a regular buyout but I guess they can afford it. Seems crazy, though.

Mike Ribeiro buyout from CapGeek.com

2014-15: $1,944,444

Yeah for like the first year only lol

But then he became fat

 

[cube444]

Not only that but I'm sure Kesler probably only wanted to go to 3 teams or so which made it even tougher.

Arms race is definitely going on in the West. Can't wait to see what Hawks and Kings do next. :lol

 

[Quick]

Darn that traitor Kesler!

Hnnnnggg..

Going for broke here if true

And on the opposite spectrum, Nazem Kadri.

Gives him more time to focus on Portugal's World Cup run...

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Kesler only wanted to go to Chicago or Anaheim apparently.

Didn't Ribeiro have a great contract year in Washington and then got a huge contract from Phoenix? He must've really regressed. I guess Caps fans are happy they didn't re-sign him, though they gave up Eakin and a 2nd rounder to get him in the first place.

We're just glad that McPhee is finally fucking gone man.

At least Sbisa is Swiss I guess, but....

Time to wear my Kesler jersey today I guess.

I thought the Panthers played in Miami. Kesler can get to Disneyland in minutes. MINUTES (then wait)

wrong.

 

[Red_Man]

Lower return for Kesler then I thought, but the circumstances really hurt their bargaining power.

I'd take him because he's as talented as McDavid. Skill can't be taught, but you CAN make a person humble.

He's the only player in the draft likely to be a franchise player, imo.

You can't be serious.....

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Kesler had an off-year with injuries and no line-mates. If he's healthy he could score 30.

Does Bonino slot into the 2C? Ehhhh

He's pretty good defensively, not the fastest skater but he's strong on them. He has a knack for scoring clutch goals.

Going to miss him.

But I guess I'll take Kesler.

Sbisa. Lol.

Checking in from the #305,Worldwide Chico #DALÉ Headquarters.

#DaléTallón was going in for Spezza but Spezza will not be traded within division.

Good news. Vinny is still available...

 

[Heretic]

Two years ago the thought would have excited me. What's prevented him from adapting to the NHL? Would a change of scenery help?

Okay!

*suddenly suspicious*

I was hoping it was Etem and NOT Bonino :'(

We've finally figured out that Dopey is actually Ho Sang.

 

[Crazymoogle]

We got some more cap room in that deal, right?

Bonino: 1.9
Sbisa: 2.9 (ah, but it's the last year of his contract?)

 

[DopeyFish]

I've been posting on GAF since I was 4! I've been made!

*bails out*

 

[TUSR]

Bonino: 1.9
Sbisa: 2.9 (???)

Kesler $5,000,000

Bonino $1,900,000
Sbisa $2,175,000

I wouldn't expect Sbisa's new contract to increase too much.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Panthers GM Dale Tallon says he's got a couple decent offers but unless they improve between now and 7 pm ET, he's keeping the top pick
