No.Would you trade Kadri for Kesler ?
Would you trade Kadri for Kesler ?
Like I said Dawg I do not think the Leafs are at the 'trade youth for vets' stage yet, however Kesler has two more seasons left.Yes but Canucks would have to agree to pick up half his salary($5,000,000) for the balance of this season and all of next.
Probably not happening
You would probably have to do that to make it work, you might be able to get them to eat 1.000,000 of the final year.Like I said Dawg I do not think the Leafs are at the 'trade youth for vets' stage yet, however Kesler has two more seasons left.
Do the Leafs take the full load of the final year of the contract ?
I asked this question because the Canucks were said to have keen interest in Kadri going back to the Luongo trade rumours last year, and now Kesler has supposedly asked to be traded. Other players (Kulemin ?) will likely have to involved to make it work.You would probably have to do that to make it work, you might be able to get them to eat 1.000,000 of the final year.
Kadri is young but I find hum to be very inconsistent and he will be looking for a big raise next year which may not work under the cap. This way you have a player under contract and it won't hurt your cap.
I really think the Canucks want more than Kadri for Kessler, which means draft picks and maybe someone off the Marlies. I would not be too thrilled about giving up an early round pick and if they insist on a#1 that kills the deal. Kessler also has a no movement clause so he may veto a trade here.
Agree, no way a first goes in a deal for Kesler, at least for Kesler alone.You would probably have to do that to make it work, you might be able to get them to eat 1.000,000 of the final year.

Would Kesler be the #18 If he played for the Leafs?I don't think Kesler is a good fit for the Leafs.
His name is too similar to Kessel. Too much potential for confusion.
They played together on team USA. Made no difference.I don't think Kesler is a good fit for the Leafs.

geez you say that like jake,s the only one.How long will Carlyle allow Jake Gardiner to screw things up for the team ? How many more give always does Carlyle need to see before he nails him to the bench until the game's out of reach either way ?
The Leafs might have a few point cushion for a playoff spot, but there are at least 4 teams that can knock the Leafs out within a 2-3 game span as the Leafs would lose the tie breaker against any of these teams with their low ROW. I don't think the Leafs can afford to have points thrown away because of Gardiner's repeated stupid mistakes.
You're right, everybody makes mistakes, particularly in the Islanders game, it was a total team effort; but most of the them contributed positively in other ways. Gardiner has been making the same kind of bonehead mistakes all season long without much contribution and there's no sign of improvement anytime soon.geez you say that like jake,s the only one.
November 25th, 6-0 Columbus, no Nash to be found.didn,t Columbus trash them 6-0 at the acc last time they played.... without nash?
