Phil Kessel will score 90 points this year and everyone in Toronto will think he is the chosen one and ignore the fact that he still finishes a minus-20. The leaves will miss the playoffs in a shootout loss. More excuses will be made about how and why they missed the post-season and that it was all ...

Jeff Carter has an 11 year contract. His cap hit would be far higher if he signed it today. Apples and oranges. Rick Nash gets 8 million. Why not compare him? You're cherry-picking. I'm not cherry-picking at all. This discussion is about Kessel, and why would I compare him to Nash? Nash and Kessel ...

He's played 8 years, not 14. And the Bruins were making the playoff with him every year. Yup. Every year. All 2 of them. :lol: And he was a 0.56 ppg average for the Bruins over those 3 seasons .....wait a second.....did I say 3 seasons? But Kessel only recorded playoff games played in 2 of those 3 ...

As a goal scorer Kessel is the type of player you want as a complimentary player, not as the key player to build a team around. He would have been great to have around when we needed scoring to compliment the rest of the team. But he is not leadership material and not a franchise type player. That'...

. Ex-Leaves, present-Islanders, Kulemin and Grabovski, ice bucket challenge: http://instagram.com/p/ria_ZNppCv/ Light it up this year boys, especially in those 3 revenge matches versus the Leaves. :wink: Grabovski and Grabner will have to duke it out for the rights to the "Grabby" nickname... And t...

The Habs are playing a dangerous game if they tick him enough, he might just go year to year until he reaches UFA status which I think is two seasons away and maybe go back home to Toronto which would be the ultimate middle finger to them. LOFL!!! Yeah no, no one any good ever "goes home to Toronto...

PK Subban and the Habs not even in the same ballpark. Subban is asking $8.5M. Canadiens are offering $5.25M and a one-year deal. Not sure what the Habs are thinking here. Kris Letang hasn't won a Norris, he's not a big hitting defenseman, and hes about as reliable in his own end as PK Subban is. IMO...

Well no, he's right. He spoke of "per year" and "hit" in his post referencing AAV essentially. Which realistically when it comes to the year to year business of hockey is what really matters because it affects the teams ability to add players to their roster. I could care less what Aqualung spends ...

PK Subban going to salary arbitration.....again. I honestly don't get what Montreal is thinking when it comes to negotiating with this guy. Last time they low-balled him and he finally signed a 2 year deal on the cheap.....and won the Norris Trophy. It was inevitable that the Habs were going to have...

You spelt lowkul wrong.

Flyers have given Vinny camp permission to speak to other teams to try and secure a trade. The Flyers have been unable to move him so the feeling is his agent may be able to put something together. If a trade is worked out it will be a salary dump for the Flyers, they want to be done with his contr...

Why would either of them have to go back to junior? They are both 19. They can play in the AHL at 18. Per AHL By-Laws, the age limit for eligibility to compete in the American Hockey League is 18 years or over, on or before September 15 of each season of competition. http://theahl.com/faq-p137653 N...

Hmmm, I'd be very happy if we get him at 6. A one two punch of him and Kassian? Look out L.A. Then draft Hunter Smith in the 2nd. Apparently Smith and Ritchie had a pretty good scrap this year. If we can't beat them with skill we at least become a team nobody likes to play I think that would be a f...
