They retained 3 mil per of that deal.

No way?!

Torontos 2nd rd pick also rumored to be involved.....

True, forgot about that.

Also Leaf Ref banned a guy for an LOL emoticon.

Apparently if you think its a bad deal or disagree you get a ban.

If they ate 3mil, plus a pick, and that's all they got in return, he must truly be a cancer in that locker room. Granted that their GM may be a trade for magic beans type of guy, but still if trying to rebuild, they didn't get enough IMO

Word is Phil Kessel will eat some of Phil Kessel's salary in the deal.

Should have got kessel for 5 million
- Mentalorgasm5

No assets to get it done IMO.

Who's our Harrington and Kapanen?

I think we're all against trade the 2016 1st.

Jackman to Nashville

Thank (frank) we dodged the Kessel bullet.

leafs got (frank)ed

I'm not going to bother looking, but I cannot see the Leafs board happy with that trade..

I would assume a disappointing return for Dion as well.
- IceColdBeer

It's split, but yeah, many are freaking out over a not so great return mixed with wonder about how much is retained (the 3M stated in a twitter post was someone making crap up - so far)

Enroth to the Kings. Guess he's good with being a backup again.

Larsson/Foligno/McCabe?

- Buffalo--Sabres

That guy wins the internet

at 5 per, he would have been a decent fit IMO

This is a rumor. Phil Kessel obviously never eats celery.

Leafs 2nd rd pick will only be like 3-4 picks after pitts 1st

at 5 per, he would have been a decent fit IMO
- homiedclown

it's not 3 mil, it's 1.2

This is a rumor. Phil Kessel obviously never eats celery.
- Pierceme69

DOUBLE WIN!

Tikhonov signed with the hawks ?? Great signing wow

Jackman to Nashville. I gotta feeling Sabres must be working hard on Oduya.

Also told Toronto is eating between15-25% of Kessel contract.


Take it with a grain of salt tho, he also earlier stated that Babcock would prefer to keep Kessel around and coach him first.

at 5 per, he would have been a decent fit IMO
- homiedclown

Right now it looks like $1.25 million retained nothing official yet

at 5 per, he would have been a decent fit IMO
- homiedclown

I respect your opinion.

I can't stand the guy. I think he'd be a bad influence.
