Rick Blight Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I wonder if Dallas consulted Kesler before making the offer....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatedkid666 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Such a great name, probably the only reason he is as well known as he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Who did the Canucks trade his rights for? Seems to me it was Martin Rucinsky who Brian Burke seemed to think would help with a playoff run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 He did single-handily dismantle the Montreal Canadiens that one playoff series. Ended up with 10 goals in 17 games (along with 5 assists). Not sure what he has left in the tank at age 35 and out of the league for a bit.... but if he can play 4th line, PP at league min, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

He scored like 8 goals in 5 games. That was a massive peak moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was all on Brian Burke low balling him....he was offering RJ slightly more than half of what guys drafted after him were getting. That should have been what got Burke fired....

Seems to me it was Martin Rucinsky who Brian Burke seemed to think would help with a playoff run. For some strange reason brian Burke offered him a 650 000 k entry level contract, which was odd. The going rate at the time for 1st rounders was the entry maximum at 1.1 million, which most of the 2001 draftees were getting Mean while Kesler gets a 850 000 k offer right out of college, umberger gets 650 000 k when he should be getting 1.1 million. Umberger a true sport in the end was willing to,sign for 900 000 k still which is low balling considering the season he just had but Burke still said no. Eventually rangers get his rights offers a 250 000 k entry level contract, he becomes a ufa and ends up in Philly. He had an ok career as a 2nd line centreman.
