TheRussianRocket. Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 @SNETPacific:Kesler - I didnt ask for a trade. #Canucks@VanCanucks:This has been the only home I know in my adulthood. I love this city. - Kesler #CanucksKesler on being open to a trade - "Where you get that from? Twitter? French guy?" #canucks () With Linden at the head operating management, I'm pretty sure he'd elect to keep Kesler in Vancouver. Linden knows Kes is a heart and soul player who gives it his all and it'd suck for a team to lose a player like that especially with him being in that spot before. With Gillis gone who clearly was shopping Kesler even though Kes has stated at the trade deadline and today numerous times he never asked for a trade and loves it here, I'm sure Trev will honour that and most likely keep him here. And with Linden saying season ticket holders can get a full refund if they aren't pleased by July 11, Kesler gone would mean a lot of upset fans. Trev wants this team to compete and keeping Kesler will help out Horvat/Gaunce/Cassels with the NHL transition and Kes can turn it around offensively with a top 6 gifted winger alongside him. Well he already is solid offensively but a legit winger for once would see him hit maximum results + efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I would be so happy if he stayed. Him and Bieksa are by far my 2 favourites on Vancouver. PLZ STAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Kesler, "I didnt ask for a trade". Said discussions with management should stay private & wouldnt comment on reports of "a list" he provided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Holmgren: I will not buyout Bryzgalov. I gave Carter and Richards NTC's and I plan to honour them Yzerman: St Louis is a Bolt for life.

I believe their input will be a major factor in what direction Linden moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It seems to me like he did send the team a list of teams he would go too so.... he will probably be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppleJack Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If these quotes are true then maybe it wasn't so much the owners who stopped the kes trade but kes himself. Maybe he refused to waive? If this is true I am glad gillis is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe their input will be a major factor in what direction Linden moves. Yep, and Kesler will be another but the Sedins comments will be regarded to the highest. If Kes wants to stay, Sedins and Bieksa want him to stay, and Linden does, he will stay. ...still don't get peoples logic though lol. Kes isn't hiding anything special. He's saying it straight up he wants to stay here AND RETIRE A CANUCK! How that is equal to other situations like St.Louis is a ridiculous comparison.

They are the most likely, in my opinion, to be vets most likely to be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Kesler for Pouliot and Bennett Then flip stanton bennett and a 2nd for boone jenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Him and Kassian together next season could be beastly. I hope Kesler does stay and as you remarked he could centre a real power line with Kaasin and Matthius as wingers or God forbid if we could pick up Evander Kane ( Edler orGarrison and maybe Hansen ) it's a bold move similar to this that would turn the corner for the Canucks. We need some youth and excitement back in a weary roster of vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono2009 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 you have to look at keslers trade value and its high. if the right offer comes, pull the trigger. i like kesler as much as the next guy but if a trade involving him gets us younger and better for years to come, you do it. i still find it funny he denies the trade request.

What are you talking about? Only real wingers he's had are Demitra, Sundin, and Samuelsson. 2/3 of those guys being old and close to washed up and yet he still had career years. You can't demand a player to change his style of play for x players. As a GM, you should realize his weaknesses and strength and work around that. Kes has more than every right to be upset. He hasn't had a proper winger for years now and it's wasting years on his career and the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Kesler staying here obviously has it's benefits, but trading him also has it's benefits, perhaps big ones. It's a dicey issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Pretty sure AV said Schneider was our #1. Gillis said theres no way he see's a situation where Luongo returns after the summer, and he did, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
