VIC_CITY Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Kesler, Edler, 1st, Shroeder for Malkin+Pouliot I'd have a heart attack from over fapage lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Apparently PIT is the most aggressive for Kesler. I just don't like dealing with PIT because realistically, the best center we would get out of them is Sutter, who I'm not so high on. Would much rather deal with NYR or PHI to get Stepan, Couturier, Schenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soshified Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If true, Crosby, Malkin and Kesler on the same team wow... Its Crosby for Kesler. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Bearer Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If the report on NHL.com is true, MG better not trade with Pitt Sutter, a 1st, a 3rd and one of Despres and Dumoulin If Bennett and Pouliot are not in the deal than we have to keep Kes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 You guys honestly want to see this guy leave, I'm going to miss him. I don't want to see him go. But if HE wants to go, then yeah, we already have Lu. No need to have multiple players -- core players at that -- wanting out. We had that kinda chemistry in the late 90s. And with the Keenan/Tortorella parallels, it has the potential to similarly blow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Sutter, 1st, 3rd and Despres/Dumoulin would be terrible. I don't mind the inclusion of Sutter as I think he would actually be a fair addition to the Canucks, but the entire package doesn't add up to the worth of Kesler. Considering Kes' cap hit, his age and his resume, Despres/Dumoulin should be Maata and the 3rd should be changed to another 1st rd pick or Beau Bennett. With Letang injured though, that will lower the odds of the Canucks getting Maata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcrguy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 This is a good point. I doubt Kes waves his clause to 3c in the Burgh as you describe. Also, why would Pitt give up so much for a 3rd line centre? They already have one in Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCKS FTW! Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If the reported offer is true and MG accepts, he better get fired cuz that is plain ridiculous. Guys were talking bout our 2C here and integral part of our offense. If Kesler is being traded to Pitts, the centerpiece has to be Maata or Pouliot/Bennet+.

DeNiro Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 You guys honestly want to see this guy leave, I'm going to miss him. No, in a perfect world this team would have stayed a contender after 2011. Unfortunately all they've done since then is steadily decline. Keeping Kesler for the last two years of his contract and letting him walk is not what's best for the future of this franchise. We've done that in the past and look where it got us. I think it's best for Kesler and the team to part ways and have it be mutually beneficial. Kesler can go try and get a cup for himself, and the Canucks can start planning for the future. Cause as it stands right now, this team is more than a few moves away from getting back to being a top team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, that offer was by Pittsburgh, not by Gillis. Calm yourself. If that offer was made by Gillis, Shero would have gladly accepted already.

pomorick Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Wow! Some of you are like Jack. Some magic beans for the cow that produces milk and will bear several calfs ! Kesler is the real deal. We got him, but for us it is the wrong time, wrong fit! He needs to move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
