That sums him up perfectly. Pretty awesome when someone new to being loaded stays grounded like this. I might never hate on him again ha.

Good on him.
Such any easy player to dislike but looks like his heart is in the right place.
Happy he's a Hab.

Wow that reminds me of Kadri's 3 game team suspension from last season, however this seems a lot worse based on sending him right back to the OHL.

Good on the Isles. Who the hell comes late on the 1st ****ing day as a rookie? Even 5 seconds late and your ass is shipped home.
I heard Burke say this one time and I've always kind of kept it close...
"If you should up on time, you're late... In this business, on time is being at least 15 minutes early"
Doesn't work for everyone but I know I manage some people and it drives me crazy when they stroll in right as they are supposed to start their shift.

I think since Kessel is no longer a Maple Leaf he might get more respect and looked on more favorably by fans of other teams just because of that. When Leafs fans called him elite I remember fans of other teams saying no he was not.

yup.
and i know that Leaf fans were always talking about his playmaking. Even Simmons and Feschuk who poop on him the most rave about his playmaking.
ultimately, what people are going to make this into is that the Leafs made a horrible mistake trading him. which - quite frankly, no. we're going into a new direction, and he needed to leave for that (everything else are just ice cream sundae toppings).

It's a little bit embarassing, and like some said it is his second camp. He should have known better.
BUT for all intents and purposes he's been the model of character this offseason and up to this point Isles management was apparently super pleased with him.
He was apart of the Biosteel camp, he was flying out to Long Island to work on a charity over the summer, was apparently a model citizen at the prospect camp all last week, and was apart of an Isles golf outing event a few days ago.
So I suspect the Islanders probably had a talk with him last year about his apparent attitude issues (which I've always been a little iiffy on the severity everyone else was convinced of), and this was his response. He's late, and the Isles say "well you've done a good job but that doesn't excuse you from this. Go home and come back next year and continue to show us that you can be a professional".
I think given Ho-Sang's actions this summer, he'll learn. And I'd love to see him shred the OHL with Niagara this year.

I see it kind of like the Thornton deal with potential to be more like the Nash deal. It's a deal where the team trading the big star needed a fresh start/culture and the only way to do that was to trade the big player on the team; that being Kessel.
I think this deal at best works out in both team's favours but has a good shot at looking like a dissapointment for the Leafs (though still not a brutal deal). Kessel will always be the best player in that deal through and through I think, but the Leafs cleared cap space, were able to start building a new team culture, and were able to add prospects/picks to the rebuid.

Crosby on Kessel
I found these comments interesting by Crosby on Kessel today in the Sun.
In Crosby’s mind, the uber-skilled winger is too often overlooked when discussions of the game’s elite are brought up.
Will Kessel knock it out of the park this year? Or are expectations too hgh.

that's how i see it too.
what will be intriguing to see if Pittsburgh unlike San Jose can shake it off.
p.l.f.
use the force
Kessel is more of a playmaker than a scorer now. And seeing he hates going into traffic he's better used that way
