[Rumour] "Teams eyeing down Kesler & Edler" - Ownership prevented Kesler trade


Recommended Posts

That Pittsburgh offer is way too low, but I'm not too worried about it. It's most likely just Pittsburgh trying to lower the price by bidding low right now. I doubt they expect to get Kesler for that. Gillis is probably doing the same thing, except he's asking for more than he thinks he will get for Kesler.

PIT, for example, rumored to be interested in Kesler. Would PIT give up Brandon Sutter, Derrick Pouliot and a 1st rder? Would VAN take it?

^ this. even bob is saying we still might not take it. either add bennet, or johansen from columbus

There's no way that Columbus gives up Johansen. He's just way too valuable to them to give up.

Price to get Kesler is high. 1. Significant/established NHLer, preferably a C, 20 to 25; 2. Top prospect, preferably a F. 3. 1st rd pick.

I can't see a deal being done right now. It seems like the draft is more likely to get us a better return

Edit: For Kesler anyway

A bidding war between the two Pennsylvanian teams?

Don't mind if we do.

Esp. w/ Homer & Shero being such active GMs..

This could potentially be a perfect scenario.

Hopefully Philly gets desperate because they think Pittsburgh is closing in and offers a kings ransom.

Couturier + Hagg + 1st

Jenner + Wennberg + 1st or just johansen

Sutter + Maatta + 1st

Saad + teravainen , flip edler for zibanejad +

Gillis should try Columbus first, then philly then chicago (saad/tervainen). Dont waste time with PITS if they dont want to give up maatta or Detroit if they dont want to deal nyquist + mantha

Why would Canucks take a D in a Kesler trade? They are loaded at D. Any pairing in the Canucks top 6 d are a top pair in Tor, Edm, Cgy, Philly etc. Plus, good D prospects. They need forwards!!! Forwards Gillis!!

We'd just have to move a D, or even flip who we get in the Kesler trade for more offensive help

No offense to guys like Tanev or Stanton, but Pouliot will be 10 times the player these guys are. He's a stud, which is why Pittsburgh is likely very hesitant to part with him.

He would be that number 1 D prospect we haven't had since the late Luc Bourdon.
