I'm sure he'll recover for a normal life but there's no way he plays again on that hip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ok with Kesler wanting to leave, but he handcuffed the team on his way out the door, imo, a classless thing to do. Edler wants to stay and had a NTC which he negotiated for by taking a yearly salary hit. I am fine with him staying for the duration of that contract and am willing to sign him to a short term NTC again; as long as the ntc expires prior to the expansion draft. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Very much over the whole Kesler-fiasco. When it happened the Ducks were stronger ****s, & I was concerned RK would light it up vs our transitioning team. Fortunately it never did. He got his $$$. We got to recycle some parts, & move on from a character that never helped the team's image. Win-win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was awesome as a Canucks and congratulate him on a great career ... Still it was fun to see him fail as a Duck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well don't go waiving your High School Equivilency Diploma in everyone's face now. 59 minutes ago, Zhukini said: Who’s in your Avi again? Kesler lands way way way closer to Jeff Brown than Pavel Bure on the all time Canucks list. Brown and Kesler might even be numbers 1 & 2 in a few categories. Honestly though, I'm going to miss the look on Kesler's face every time he comes in 2nd place lol Edited May 13, 2019 by Boeserker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) One of the few players that actually gave 110%. If he has any sense, he'll retire rather than attempting a comeback in 2020/21. Ducks are pretty much chickens that swim. Edited May 14, 2019 by RWMc1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hoping for the best for him. He's a legend in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I'm over it now. He wasn't the greatest "person" by all accounts, but he was one helluva hockey player. The kind who can worry other teams. I wish him the best moving forward. There were some great days with he and Burr and I tend to focus on the good, not the bad. Cheers, Kes...hope everything goes well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say give him the full NTC and a four year deal. Up to 4 million per, but I'd prefer something like: Year One: $7 Million (NTC) Year Two: $4 Million (NTC) Year Three: $2 Million (Modified NTC) Year Four: $1 Million (Modified NTC) $3.5 Million per NTC's don't mean anything for the ED as it's only NMC's that must be protected.

Coconuts Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Kes was my favourite Canuck player for years, he wore his heart on his sleeve and while he could be frustrating sometimes I never questioned his effort. I didn't like how he left but I understood why he wanted to, I've been over it for a while. If he'd have stuck around maybe we'd have taken more runs. Maybe his staying would have delayed our inevitable rebuild. Who knows. Wish him all the best though, he's clearly having a hard time giving up the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way he left. If he was willing to go to more teams, be it Washington, Pittsburgh, Tampa even gack.....Toronto, or Boston. But the fact he only wanted to play for one team, and limited the amount of return for him. Burr was willing to go to Ottawa, Hansen was willing to go to San Jose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Dizzle Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Kesler was an awesome Canuck AND the way he left was stupid. I don't see those two things as mutually exclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
