Miltt Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Now I know some may not like the guy, as he's American, but he has a sick shot and a huge ability to change a game. Him with the Sedins is drool worthy. A hefty salary but if the Leafs retain $750 000 it could help out. Here's what to do: To Vancouver: Kessel, $750 retained To TO: McCann, 1st, Bieksa Why? It's no secret McCann would love playing for the Leafs, plus they would love Bieksa's leadership if they can resign him which I'm sure would be no problem. The 1st is to get this thing going, keep Jake off the big squad for one more year and then look at this Sedin Sedin Kessel Baertschi Horvat Vrbata Higgins Gaunce Burrows Dorsett Bonino Hansen Vey, Kenins Edler Tanev Hamhuis Corrado Sbisa Clener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 No. Overpaid and makes Mark Messier seem like a workaholic. I wouldn't take him for free, let alone give up that package for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Yep, because 750 dollars makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ya sure, 3/4s of a million. So we can just add the additional $3.15 million to the cap and still manage to sign everyone. Yup. Not a problem. Just tell the rest of the league to look the other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Sure, he can shoot, but he's a turnover machine and isn't a good team player. There's a reason why the Leafs are so bad when they have players like him as their leaders and top players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo1970 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hell no. Bad attitude, lack of work ethic and a constant distraction to any team he's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintPatrick33 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Yea Kessel and his bad attitude is not needed here. Besides, we have the same type of shot in Vrbata, I doubt the Sedins would pla well with Kessel who needs the puck on his stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thema Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Good God! Anybody but this guy. In a poll of his peers awhile back he was voted the easiest player in the NHL to play against (Sedins came 2nd & 3rd!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltt Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Come on guys, we need to be a little bit more bold here to improve offense. If retaining more of his salary is what is needed, we should go for it. And besides, Bieksa is one of Cherry's boys, they'd love him there. Kessels don't grow on trees...

SaintPatrick33 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Why not get Dion "the Pylon" Phanoef as well in a package deal since we need defence. Phanoef and Kessel peak in October then take the rest of the year off, I guess if we want to challenge for a top 5 draft pick then lets go all in on both!

48MPHSlapShot Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 If the Leafs somehow retain 100% of his salary, and send Van Riemsdyk our way, then I'd think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Way too much future overpaid. Kessel isn't going to be around for our big push in 3-5 years time, and we've already got enough veterans in Vbrata, Higgins, Dorsett and Burrows (let alone Matthias and Richardson). Teams that want Kessel are those that want to win now and that are willing to part with a 1st round pick + A-grade prospect + current roster player.
