Well it is a situation.

Involving Ryan Kesler.

Let's not get ridiculous here.

Yes, but not in the top 6.

We have enough 3rd liners as it is, but there's always the potential for a trade.

Yep - with 55 pages on this topic, too.

So to recap, and please let me know if I'm wrong, Gillis started shopping Kesler and let the media know so that they would be the ones to ask him about his NTC. Which they were more than happy to do, so Kesler said "Sure, whatever".

Now that Gillis opened the can of worms, it's up to Benning to deal with the ensuing shitstorm of rumour mongering.

In the end Benning has no obligation to trade Kesler, and Kesler doesn't really sound that disgruntled.

I don't know how you guys put up with the local media. :D

John Shannon just said on FAN 590 that Anaheim and Vancouver had an agreed upon deal for Kesler at the deadline and Kesler's family nixed it

9:16 AM - 27 Jun 2014
IIRC, at the time, wasn't Edler in play and was going to allegedly be moved to the Bruins if the Canucks' managed to trade Kesler at last season's TDL? :mex:

That was the rumour. Of interest, Benning was the one pushing for Edler.

GMJB must see something special about Edler that GMMG cannot see. If 2010/11 Edler returns, I would be very happy.
