Are you really arguing that Vanek is as good as Kessel?

Might be a HardHat alt ...

Is this why Kessel was moved to the 4th line their last game?

nothing new

they had no problem giving him 20 minutes the next game

And this is a time when our GM will show his worth with the Cap most likely staying put or going down (Canadian dollar isn't done falling IMO).

Murray can bring in 1 big name player, and have no cap issues for the next 5 years

I am curious to see if he goes after that 1 big player, or 2 to 3 mid tier players


I have heard many times from Murray that top end talent is needed here

Kessel fits that bill

I hope he goes after someone, I would prefer that he goes after someone who is 1 or 2 years away from being a 30 to 35 goal guy but I wouldn't hate it if he brought in someone like Kessel. Its a risk 4 or 5 years from now but almost every cup winner of the last number of years has done it.

No different than the people arguing that Kessel is as good as Kane or Ovechkin.

Still on the Kessel talk? I think the horse is dead....

Can you also find stats that prove both Vanek and Ovechkin have better career playoff numbers?

Because those would be as relevant.

No Chris Stewart or Josh Gorges at practice

Pipe Dream, but I like it.

I really would like a consistent 30 goal scorer. Would be a good teacher for the rest of our prospects.

We can get a 2d for another two weeks still. Wait for something more.


If the trade happens today it is for more than a 2d.
