I have a bad feeling a deal with Girgensons for Kessel is in the works. My goodness I hope JB is smart enough not to do this. Kessel is a 1 dimensional player. He's getting long in the tooth, and eventually the fact he doesn't really takes great care of his body will catch up to him, and will prob catch up to him faster than most players. The Sabres do need a top 6 winger, but not a 1 dimensional aging chubby guy, making 8 mil against the cap.

Kessel is still one of the best wingers in the league, he produces a ton of points and is a proven playoffs performer. Not many of those around.

Hot take warning needs to be posted before you say things like this

The one thing the Sabres are missing is a scoring winger with speed. That is Kessel to a T.

It's your opinion but man you're going to get hammered for it

If he was tearing it up in the preseason, I would understand.

Because he likes hotdogs I guess.

The guy is one of the best players at his position but he doesn't take care of his body? That take is old and terrible.

What the (frank)?

Kessel has more goals over the last three seasons than Girgensons has points...

For (frank)'s sake, over the last two seasons Phil's got 11 more PLAYOFF POINTS than Girgensons has regular season points.

It's legitimately one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

Kessel scored more in 49 playoff games than Girgensons scored in 146 regular season games.

Make the argument about his cap hit with Eichels new contract and such and you have a leg to stand on (sort of) but making it about how he doesn't take care of his body?

Unreal. Kessel on this team would be huge. Especially playing with Eichel

Correct. But even that can be worked around. If Kessel is here Kane is gone for sure.
