Yet we still want Kesler here...

Don't know how you can compare Kesler with Ove. Kesler has a selke and PKs while Ovechkin doesn't backcheck, do anything 5on5, won't put any effort into defense or shot block.

only reason Kesler would be considered selfish is off the rush.

Selfishness wise they are very close. Difference is Ovie has much more talent offensively.

Not even close. Kesler shot blocks 50+ more shots, plays harder, more minutes and doesn't quit on a backcheck.

Leading the nhl with goals and still a -30 just screams a player that cares about himself more than his team.

Get off the homer train, if you think Kesler is a team player you've been brainwashed like the rest of them. Kesler is as greedy with the puck as Ovie, difference is Ovie has the offensive skills to justify it

Except Ovi's -35 cancels that out

Comparing player's +/- when one is on a 6th worst team with -26 goal diiferential and Ovechkin' washington who almost made the playoffs with a -4 differential. Also account for the fact Ove has like 30 more points.

Noone cares if he has the offensive skills to justify it. He doesn't backcheck, play defence, sacrifice his body, lead by example but because Kesler wrist shots off the rush that = Ovechkin selfishness lol

don't worry I expect you to make no mention that ovechkin does any of those things and say they are justified

It's funny because when CDC complain about Ovi being selfish, they don't say that the caps should build a team around him.

When Torts gets the Sedins on the PK they say he should build that team without them on the PK and utilise their skills.

Strange....
