MaxLapierreAwesomeFace Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I. He will play better than the aweful, brutal, horrific, terrifying, depressing play that was last season. He was a 3rd liner. He can't drop any lower. But he will never duplicate that amazing season he had 2 years ago. Should have traded him for J.Staal while we had the chance. Flame me all you want. I want to be wrong.

fagin Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Kesler is our dark knight, The Captain the team needs and deserves, but not the captain the team wants. However he'll never stop being a captain, even without the C on his sweater he will still lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Did you just say Kesler isn't a legit 2nd line center???? We're talking about a guy who won the Selke two years ago here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehamburglar Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Kesler need to learn to play for others, not just himself. He's a really selfish player on his line, but he's still a great player. A good second line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnInconvenienceBrah Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 well he won't hit 30 goals this year cause he'll miss the start of the season, but injuries are starting to add up with Kesler and no doubt their are concerns but I think he'll be a 20 goal scorer 50point player at worse which is fine with me for a 2nd line centre.

Tragoedia Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 One down season after an injury sustained during a long playoff run? Past his prime, trade him!!! Plus 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugli Fruit Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Tha hell are you on about?? Did I say he was worth a superstar in return?? Did I say that Lupul was a superstar?? Learn to read and take the time to comprehend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeywoot Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 If he continues to have major injuries, at this rate he might. Otherwise, I think he's just about to hit his peak. I reckon he'll surpass his career bests for one year, equal them in another 1 or 2 seasons, and come close around 70pts for a couple more. and that's perfectly fine IMO.

Kesler's Nose Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Watch him come back this year and score 60 plus points, in less than 82 games son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I only want him back when he is 100% healed no matter what and even then sent to Chicago for a conditioning stint. Then he can ease his way back into the lineup I will start judging his performance from Feb 2013 on. This is when it counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Kesler is a 20 to 30 goal scorer who had 1 season out of that range and now people expect him to repeat that year after year. It was a one hit wonder. I just hope he goes back to passing and gets his 25 goals working as a puck distributing centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3tt3rB3rg19 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 this is the nut of the issue. kesler contributes 2nd line production, no doubt, but he also actually makes his linemates worse. when almost every possession for his line ends in an embarrassing attempt at a toe drag and a wrist shot from the top of the faceoff circles which is either deflected easily out of play by a defenseman or shot directly into the goalie's crest, you're never going to have a consistently productive second line. it worked when samuelsson was here because he controlled possession on that line more than kesler did. i should add that in addition to being a selfish player or feeling like he has to do everything himself, this also happens due to kesler's lack of on-ice vision and puck smarts. the guy has the talent (not naturally, but worked at valiantly) to be a decent second line power winger who can do other things well, or the best third-line centre in the league. i really don't see him as a bonafide second-line centre, despite his production.

Drybone Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 So what you're saying is...he's still not going to pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Wow, if you don't think Kesler is a bonafide 2nd line center, then you really don't watch enough hockey. The only control Samuelsson had over the puck was to shoot it from every single angle. Even so, he still didn't match Kesler's forty goals.
