Re: BRIAN BURKE: GENIUS OR NOT?
Burke's smart drafting of Eric Tangradi got the Ducks Whitney. Bob Murray should thank him for that. He automatically became Pittsburgh's top prospect.

Re: BRIAN BURKE: GENIUS OR NOT?
[quote="Island Nucklehead"] It says a lot that Boston was more willing to pick Derek Morris for $3M+, knowing full-well Kessel wasn't under contract, and that they quickly and easily signed Krejci, didn't want to trade Bergeron, Sturm, or Ryder... Kessel certainly didn't appear to be a priority, oth...

Re: Kessel to the Leaves
[quote="Island Nucklehead"]LOL @ Kadri hype already. You have no idea what these kids will turn into. Schenn is going to be a good defensive d-man. He's not nearly a Drew Doughty. Kessel is a finisher, who had a career year with the best team in the East, with arguably the best set-up man in hockey ...

Re: Kessel to the Leaves
[quote="jchockey"]Kessel will never be able to become a complete player like Perry. Perry's got his boneheaded moments, but you're talking about a guy who will always be mentioned for Team Canada, has the ability to be a point per game player and play a physical game. Kessel is a one-dimensional, di...

Re: Kessel's contract's implication on Kesler's contract....
Kessel is a former top 5 draft pick who put up terrific numbers with relatively limited ice time. Burke is gambling Kessel will be worth more, and the 5.4 million will be a solid deal. Of course, since it's the Leaves, everyone will exaggerate the contract. It's fine. I'd rather have Kessel at 5.4 t...

Re: Kessel to the Leaves
Great trade by Burke. Boston is suppose to contend for a cup and they trade away their top goal scorer?
Kessel is an elite talent. Only 21, and scored 36 goals getting less than 16 minutes an avg. per game. No first rounder will be better than him.

Re: Burke in attention grabbing shock!
Pronger never actually went public. His request was found out months later by Al Strachan. It's not the same situation.

Re: Quinn and Renney returning to the NW Division....
Quinn may be old, but he's not really an "Old School" guy. He pushes an offensive game with his players. He's not out-of-date like Mike Keenan is. He'll fit well with the style of the Oilers. I wasn't his biggest fan, as he's loyal to his players to a fault, and his "Balancing 4 lines" can be bad at...
