Speculation: Who Wins the Phil Kessel Sweepstakes

[FreeBird]

There is little chance that Carlyle and Kessel co-excist in Toronto, I would imagine Phil wil ask Burkie for a trade after the season. What would the return be on Mr. Kessel who has two years left at about 5.5. What teams do you see intersted in Kessel.

Toronto.

[Cleatus]

I'd accept two 1sts and a 2nd from the Blue Jackets.

[Leafs03]

I really hope we trade Kessel... He's terrible... Id rather have a powerforward who can score 30 and play a two way game than him... guy can score but he is sooo dam soft and **** defensivly.

I'm willing to leave this open to debate as long as the discussion is on topic and reasonable. Keep to the rules and keep it civil.

If it falls out of favour it'll be closed however.

[IceDaddy]

less than a week after the new coach was hired.....that HAS to be some kind of record.

But I`ll play along. There is ZERO chance Burke will move Kessel. IMO he will never get the kind of return that he gave away for him. He would be crucified even worse than he was when he traded for Kessel.

Doubt Burke trades him out of his own will, only way this happens is if Kessel ask for a trade, in which case, how about Minny? Do they need a sniper?

To the Blue Jackets. Kessel, Shenn, Reimer for Nash and Mason. Book it.

There is no chance that this goes over well.
