That's not going to happen. That would be really, really stupid for them to trade him. If anyone is going, it's Cam Ward.

I don't see how they can trade J Staal without pissing off Eric.
If Carolina wants to shed salary, why not try to acquire Skinner? I'd sooner pay the Kesler ransom for a 21 year old who's signed for 5+ seasons.

I basically watch Pens, Leafs, Oilers in that order. Most of the time when I watch the late games, I watch the Oilers.
All I can think of is that Hemsky used to be injury prone (ironically from throwing his body around), and he is a Euro, so the ignorant among us label him as a soft player.
He'd help this team, zero doubts. But they need help beyond him, obviously.

That wouldn't be the worst scenario IMO. The price tag would be huge.
It would suck to see Kesler go there but Edler would get badly exposed on that blue line
Le Magnifique 66
Let's Go Pens
Wouldn't surprise me and to be honest if I'm the Flyers I'd want Edler back. So if they want Schenn or Couturier in return the Canucks would have to send both players the other way. Could be interesting

Seems like in years past there would of already been a bunch of trades by this time, there are a bunch of rentals that have to get moved, should be a crazy 28 hours.
Do they even have the cap space for that without giving Vancouver a huge return?

Martin Brodeur to Minnesota may be happening. I sure hope Vokoun can actually play or Ray Shero is missing someone who just by practicing with Fleury everyday could really help him in the playoffs.

I don't think it would bother me if Flyers gave up something like Schenn + Laughton +1st round pick for Kesler, Flyers def and goal tending is so bad, i don't think Kesler would make the Flyers a cup contender.
Kesler doesn't make us a Cup contender either, but it's a damn good first block in terms of rebuilding this team, or Philly for that matter.
Hopefully, at four o'clock on this thread's #1 portion for the pens, it says this
Players brought in >> zero
Draft picks brought in > none
Assets shipped out > none
This team is not a cup favorite and it will have trouble getting out of the first round. Flyers, NYR, Leafs, Caps, Devils, Wings, Mtl, could easily beat them.
When 1/3 of your D is Orp and Scuds, you are in major trouble.
Do nothing and save your assets for next year.
For this team to go far in the playoffs, #29 will have to play better than King Henry, Quick, and Rask combined. And who thinks that can happen. Forget about this year and plan for next year. do

The Flyers have stated they prefer not to give up any of their young forwards. Sounds like Homer is trying to raise the asking price for Kesler.
What a post.
How exactly does Kesler not help this team going forward, as well as right now?

LeBrun throws some cold water on the Kesler rumors, pointing out reality: Sutter isn't a good player centerpiece for a trade.

Bylsma is still the coach, so no one assumes they are a contender but there will be a Post-Bylsma era and Kesler might fit in very nicely.

We definitely have glaring holes and probably too many to fill, but you're joking with that list of teams right? The Penguins, as thin as they are depth-wise, would absolutely destroy NYR, Leafs, Caps, Devils, and Wings in a series.
I'll actually give you Tampa, who you didn't mention, but other than that you've got the Flyers and Bruins. Those three I would be worried about and maybe MTL. That's with our team as it is now. I'd strike MTL and TB off that list if we added Kesler. Plus Kesler is going to help us this year AND going forward. It's not like if we get Kesler we're not allowed to make any more moves in the next year or two.

He's a Sutter and more importantly no one said there couldn't be a third team involved in this potential trade.
