  1. Just because CDC hated the winning culture av directed, doesn't mean Kesler did.
  2. Funny post on hf boards, someone was wondering if philly would drive up the price just to mess with Pittsburgh. That would be interesting lol
  3. Kinda what I thought. Perhaps the got the info from Columbus if it is more than speculation.
  4. He almost had it from all the reports I read. Log jam on the back end pushed the offensive star back to junior. Can't really say that's a who's better situation. Your always going to keep the steadier stay at home guy and let puck mover develop when they're that young.
  5. I hope not, I'd like to start checking my phone every hour not every 5 minutes haha
  6. Pittsburgh needs maata and IMO pouliot is a lot bigger need for us anyways. While maata may be better than Tanev in physical aspects of the game, he's still just the young steady eddy we already have. A guy like pouliot is something we've never had and are constantly begging for. An offensive star that can skate like Duncan Keith. You pair that with a guy like Tanev down the road and you got a dream tandem. When I watched the winter hawks play this year pouliot was flying and making creative plays the entire game while cederholm watched his back. The kids a star in the making and if you can get Pitts to beef up the offer around him because maata isn't in the deal, then I'm sold.
  7. I think this would be the best way to go. If shero is really gunning for him as hard as we think, we can load up from them with more higher end talent. Quality and quantity! Then go centre shopping later with your massive prospect pool and already loaded Canuck blue line. I'd rather get Bennett over Harrington if it's possible though.
  8. If that's the case(best any offer), pouliot Bennett sutter 1st is a possibility. May not have high end centre in there but we make off like bandits and set ourselves up to make a second trade to get that young stud centre.
  9. Like who? Jenner has 18 points in 50 games as a rookie, add to that he's 6'2 200lbs 20 yrs old with 143 hits. His ceiling may very well pass kesler's and has a good chance to because torts plays the crap outta players like him. We're not going to get a johansen out of them, that's a pipe dream. Jenner, top prospect and Columbus 1st(could be top ten) would be a sick package I'd take. Give Jensen his centreman back and watch him grow. Then we have a boosted prospect pool to trade for the high ceiling player you want.. Or Flip edler for Schenn 1st package if both parties agree.
  10. Jenner is like the second coming of Ryan Kesler. Of a deal goes down with Columbus he has to be in it.
  11. Just watching tsn drive and dreger is on.. He says he knows for a fact nonis and gillis have talked about Kesler. Then he goes on in what appears to be his own speculation "what would that package be? Kadri, either Gardner or Reilly and a 1st for good measure.". He said he feels the leafs are past making this kinds of deals. I got the general idea he doesn't think they'd meet the asking price cus Reilly is likely a non starter for them and we would not accept Gardner. I would be down for a Reilly Kadri 1st deal if it was possible. Wonder if there's a way to get that done if more pieces were involved? Reilly Kadri is much better than Pouliot Sutter even if we had to send Schroeder or a lesser prospect the other way.
  12. For our sake we better hope he was making it up and he was. Can't remember who but I think it was on CBC, said they talked to Stan bowman directly and he's not trying to acquire Kesler.
  13. That was a damn good post, dude.. Really puts in perspective that while gillis may not have hit home runs, he still made the right decisions. The time for his home run is now, if he nails this retool I won't ever question the process.
  14. Getting Jenner out of the jackets has instant Jensen chemistry written all over it. Line mates in Oshawa Murray Jenner +
  15. Oh for sure.. Anyone who thinks shero is firm on the first offer is crazy. If your at an auction and the bidding starts at 500 bucks, you don't offer 2 grand right away.
  16. Today's tsn reports say shero will do everything he can to get Kesler. Also said blue jackets are showing interest as are wings and rangers. So I guess philly may really be out but it appears the blue jackets aren't just speculation from CDC.
  17. I'd be over the moon if he could get the Pittsburgh trade done for Kesler and the philly trade done for edler. I'd even be down to add a small bit to seal em. I'd consider that pretty much 4 can't miss blue chippers.
  18. So does the Daniel injury kickstart this retool or what. We're hooped even if we bought a rental.
  19. Could be either in the long run, hell could even be despres when all 3 have peaked. You never really know but looking at it now you gotta put your money on either maata or pouliot to make the biggest impact.. I just said prospect as Maata is a rookie and locked on the roster already. Either way one of pouliot or maata has to be there. I see them pulling the trigger with pouliot before maata as they need maata this year.
  20. There's no freakin way. He's not stupid enough to take the despres sutter 1st trade. Their best prospect is pouliot and he has to be in the deal
  21. I dunno he was pretty bummed about not playing the classic and let the media know it. I highly doubt he would throw gas on the media fire if he was hurt. That's basically starting the goalie controversy himself for no reason. I guess he might have said I'm a little sore but want to play the classic and torts said no I want you fresh if we make the playoffs.. But even then I don't see Lu saying "I want to play, I don't want to go through this again" "I've always wanted to play an outdoor game"
  22. No way kesler signs up to go to Florida. Only thing I see happening there is maybe a small chance they changed their minds on Lu. Even that is a major stretch. Penguins can piss off with despres and sutter. I want at least pouliot and or Bennett in there to start getting serious about a trade. Pouliot Bennett sutter first Kesler Schroeder Then go Edler Schenn 1st Leier Next years lineup Sedin sedin Kassian Higgins Schenn Bennett Burrows Sutter Hansen Sestito Santorelli Richardson Hamhuis Tanev Garrison Biessska Pouliot Corrado Lu Then trade all 3 first to a rebuilder and get yourself into the top 5 at the draft lol see if you can add a dal colle to the pool I can dream can't I haha
  23. Lol he'd probably trade for Dave bolland and make him captain
  24. I watched him live this year and he was a beast. I'm sold if he's a major piece in the deal and we move dman for more youth up front
