Have you been keeping up with this thread? He may be gone after next year with Leafs getting nothing for him.
You honestly think Kessel wants to be in a rebuild if we miss the playoffs again this year?
no trade clause comes in, after july 1 2013

Let's not play the NHL proven, CJHL is unproven game. Rielly is a question mark also, not proven in the NHL either if the rules are this black and white.

Didn't you say on this forum, never count out a prospect on one off year, in this case not even.
Going based off what Nonis had said in his PC, I make a couple deals based on trading younger talent for other younger talent.
To NY Islanders:
F Clarke MacArthur
D Jesse Blacker
To Toronto:
F Brock Nelson
D Radek Martinek
To Florida:
D Stuart Percy
F Tyler Bozak
To Toronto:
F Quinton Howden
Yes I have been keeping up, you just misunderstood me.
You said
"For Minnesota to give up Granlund wouldn't you hold out for Gardiner? Fletcher knows Nonis's predictament next year with Kessel. "
I meant that Kessel is more valuable than Granlund so why would the Wild hold out for Gardiner?
If we have to add Gardiner to get them to give up Granlund, when we are giving them freakin Kessel too,then **** that.

I would do the Howden deal in a heartbeat. Not the first one. Not big on Brock Nelson...
Would do both without blinking.
Not even be worried about losing Percy?

Well we are back to square 1 with Kessel then, sign him if he wants to be part of another rebuild or take our chances he stays after the 13-14 season.
All I know, is this forum will be in a foul mood if Kessel leaves and we are playing against Seguin, Hamilton, and Knight of the Bruins with nothing to show for it in that trade.
That might be a low point in Leafs history, and that's saying something with how many low points we have had.
Sign him in off-season, and if he won't, then trade him. Maybe at the draft.

Kessel and Bozak
for
Marcus Johansson
Tom Wilson
Filip Forsberg
Should have with the draft, especially after Lupul is dealt to the Wings for Jurco and Frk.

If I wasn't so lazy 2nite, I would post an image of the Walenda's on a high wire. Come next summer, maybe the one of the falling Wallenda. That's a chance this franchise doesn't need, remember the soft Nash deal?
You think there'd be a difference in the return we get if we traded him in April at the deadline vs. a couple months later at the draft?
If we trade kessel, you might as well blow it all up. Lupul and grabbo are temps anyway.
Kessel + prospect for duchene + 1st
Lupul for 1st +prospect.
Clarkie +3rd/prospect for a 1st
Franson for a 2nd, lombardi for a 4th, komi for a 6th (we keep some of his salary)
Then wait until the deadline and trade grabbo for a 1st
JVR-Duchene-Kadri
Kulemin-Connolly-Frattin
Thats how you tank. We bottom out with 5 1st round picks and 2 seconds. You could also trade connolly for a 2nd too (i think he will bounce back this year).
Personally I think both Islanders and Panthers say no
