So they dedicate countless uneventful hours to the TDL & we have to wait 'til the draft starts to get coverage on draft day? (frank)sakes

Despres has a grand total of 3 NHL games under his belt. He might end up being a better player but Sbisa is a safer choice as he is already an established player.

Sbisa isn't bad, but I ultimately think Despres will be better. I am actually excited to see what he'll do under the new coach.

You have to love Benning. Even if the deal falls I love his willingness

Sorry, I looked at the wrong stats. Doesn't matter. Kes didn't want to go to Pittsburgh anyways.

I only agree with you since Federer isn't playing

We have a GM! Not a sweaty mannequin that pisses everyone off.

So the question is, does Bieksa fight Kesler Nov. 9th in ANA or wait until Nov. 20th at home.

Did you figure that out with a crystal ball or a Ouija board?
- fiveandagame

Did you read the initial blog? The VAN blogger brought it up based on zone starts and shooting percentage. I forgot my crystal ball sorry.

Nov. 20. Definitely Nov. 20.

Kassian

I've liked him for a looong time & think he'll finally put it all together because Desjardins knows him well, obviously thinks highly of him, and will use him properly. Give it 2yrs and he'll be a fan fav.
- DrChristianTroy

Why do you like him, though?

He's at best an established third pairing guy currently. He played 19:50/game last season, but every other season has seen him at or below 17:55/game. In those minutes, he's never managed more than 24 points despite playing HEAVILY sheltered minutes. For those of you open to possession metrics, he's awful in that department, as well (http://www.hockeyabstract.com/playerusagecharts). Add to those factors his injury history, and I don't see much to like in his game.

Such a good idea! Cheers!

Hahaha...I was only asking a question and your fans fired back from the angry chair. I just don't see that offer being that good and your fans getting pissed.

Believe me I am pissed we didn't get Kesler. But I still feel Pittsburgh's offer was way better.
- crebar

You seem to be the one pissed, we all seem happy with the deal,deal with it.

Such a good idea! Cheers!
