Speculation: So... where is Phil the Thrill going?

Maybe Geno & Phil kissed and made-up before yesterdays game and he heads back to Pittsburgh

The riff wasn't between Geno and Phil, Sully was using Geno as a mediator to get Phil to do what Sully wanted. Geno grew tired of it.

Is that baby on the prospects board yet?

Top 15 under 15 days old.

 

[Price is Wright]

I'm convinced he's going to Colorado.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Phil needs to be healthy scratched for like a month for the way he’s played, that’s where he should go instead of this ridiculous iron man streak he seems to be super focused on. At this point, he’s probably the worst pick-up for anyone given he’s a shell of his former rubenesque self.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Surprised there hasn't been much talk about Kessel. On an expiring contract and at 50% retention, even at this stage of his career he'd be a great add for certain contenders. So where's he going?

The casino?

 

[hawksrule]

I remember the days when 3/4 of the posts in this subforum revolves around Kessel. Don’t miss it.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Minnesota at 50% retained.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Bring him home.

 

[Turin]

He’s really not good anymore, hard to see a contender value what he’s gonna bring

 

[Prairie Habs]

Phil is going to have to be traded 7 times tomorrow to salvage the trade deadline broadcasts

 

[PostBradMalone]

All jokes aside an Edmonton third line of Hyman-RNH-Kessel would cause some mad matchup issues for opponents. Would need to send at least one contract back but it might be worth it if nothing else presents itself.

they'll need to get their hot dog jokes ready

For much less than his current 8M a year salary. I wonder how the wife will like the huge paycut

The guy has made like 60 mill in his career.
I’m sure she will be fine.

To book his tee off time .

About the same as him getting fat .

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Kessel has been bad this year, though I hope to still see him hit the 1000 point mark I think he can do it

 

[93LEAFS]

I think the Toronto Street meat vendors especially the ones very close to the financial center have had a rough go. He needs to come back to Toronto to singlehandedly bring that industry out of a recession.

Hence the sarcasm emoji

Harvesting chips to pair with the hotdogs

That's messed up.

 

[NitroF]

That's messed up.

Right. Maybe I should add a disclaimer.

 

[SundherDome]

He just had a kid, I doubt he wants to go anywhere except the drive-thru.

Have you had a newborn before?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Only seven goals for Kessel. Can’t imagine they’ll get much. Maybe a 3rd.

 

[mouser]

A lot of sad snipes in this thread.

 

[IGGY2JOHNNY]

I think someone will scoop him up late for a 3rd or something for a bit of offense. Boston/Carolina/Colorado/Pittsburgh all make some sense
