Agreed.



By trading us their pick for Kessel...

Fair enough...however, shutting down a 'true' no.1 pick in McDavid considering the #'s McDavid was putting up in the playoffs is an achievement...plus becoming a champion and learning how to win at the same time which we sorely lack. I'm all about McCann as well but Cassels is showing signs of filling a massive need for us. I don't think at this point he is expendable. They will invest time in him and see how he does in Canuck Blue first before tossing in the towel.

Not if trading him will give them a significant upgrade elsewhere. He tops out as a 4C, maybe a 3C in a pinch (like a Richardson) but those are easy to find. What we lack is top end skill in both forward and D.

Let's not get carried away, he shut them down in junior and has 2 years on them and had the benefit of NHL rookie camp, training camp and pre-season games. He's in the Canucks plans, but he's expendable too with McCann developing so well in the Soo.

That's what i'm trying to say.

Oh no, Ol' Lefty NEVER says anything foolish....

So what your saying is Edler Lack Shink and our 1st would get #2 overall
- thundachunk

No

That's like saying wideman Ramo Poirier and our first gets it

Buffalo laughs at both deals

I guess they should keep me busier up here

Does AHL live work for you guys?

Constantly drops me out and then I can't sign in anymore.
