[Offical] Kesler traded to Anaheim

I thought about something the other day after hearing about the "availability" of P. Sharp in CHI. What if we pulled off a 3-way that goes something like this: To CHI: R. Kesler To NYI: P. Sharp & VAN 1ST in 2015 To VAN: G. Reinhart & the 5th pick in 2014 Then we flip #6, H. Shinkaruk & either Hansen or Tanev to FLA for S. Reinhart & still draft another top 5 player tomorrow night. This would be similar to BB drafting the Twins & give us a #1C & #1-2D for years. This basically turns out to be Kes for G. Reinhart & the NYI #5 which I think is fair considering other reported proposals thus far. Not too sure if Sharp would go to the Isles though. Based on TEAM 1040 and Dregs, it sounds like there may have to be a 3rd team involved to make this happen. Plus, Garth Snow is crazy enough to do something like this.

Sharp agrees to go to NYI?

Huh?

In the proposal, it said that our 2015 1st would be going to NYI. If we do poorly next year, we would probably draft top 10, maybe top 5. Since next year is so deep, it's likely that the draft pick will be more valuable.

That being said, i'd prefer to take G. Reinhart and leave them the 5th overall from this year that was in that deal.

Why wont Kesler open up his list more? So many teams want a piece! Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger · 39m As things escalate on Kesler watch, hearing teams are trying hard, unsuccessfully, to get on his list. #TSN

The Vancouver Canucks are trying to trade malcontent center Ryan Kesler ahead of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft in Philadelphia, Pa. on Friday night. While it was reported Wednesday that the Canucks were feeling underwhelmed by the offers for Kesler, recent developments suggest that this new Canucks management team may have more success moving a star player at this year's draft, than their predecessors had in Newark, N.J. last June.

"There's a heightened sense of urgency," TSN's Darren Dreger reported on an NHL Draft Preview segment at TSN.ca on Thursday afternoon, "and some close to the situation believe that a trade will happen within the next 24 hours."

In an appearance on Vancouver sports talk radio station the Team 1040 shortly thereafter, Dreger's colleague Bob McKenzie suggested that something on the Kesler market has shifted substantially over the past 24 hours. He hasn't quite pinned down what the substantial something is, however:

I do get the sense that something has happened in the last 24 hours that has accelerated the timetable a little bit. There's never any guarantee a deal gets done on anybody's timetable, but there is a sense that this thing could get done (some time between now and the draft on Friday night).

So that means one of two things happened in my mind. Either one of the Chicago Blackhawks or Anaheim Ducks - the two teams that were really front and center... have altered their offers and made things a little more interest for the Vancouver Canucks or... maybe somebody from outside the pack has come in, and maybe it's something that Ryan Kesler is prepared to listen to over and above some of the teams on his original six team list...

Whatever it is, something has happened in the last 24 hours to lead us to believe that the likelihood of a Kesler trade is more likely than it was (yesterday).

Whether the Ducks or Blackhawks have sweetened the pot, or a classic "mystery team" has entered the fray and complicated things, one thing is clear: there are a number of clubs that would love to add the former Selke-winner and U.S. Olympian.

The problem for those clubs (and for Vancouver to some extent), is that Kesler's contract has a full no-trade clause. He still gets to press send on any deal that he's involved in. Kesler's list is more exclusive than what you'd find at a trendy club, though that hasn't stopped teams from going to great lengths to get in:

With the draft set to kick off in slightly over 24 hours, Kesler's status appears to be the big domino. Will he fall this time around, or will Vancouver's inability to move him hold up the market as it reportedly did at the 2014 NHL trade deadline?

Or it could be just TSN trying to build up hype towards the draft... hope I'm wrong though
