Kessel for Pearson and Gaborik's contract at 75% - figure out a way to do it.

/I bet Kessel doesn't get traded.

You know what? Kessel for Saad. Figure out a way to do it.

/I just like Saad.

Saad is only $800K less and 1/3 the player.

Gaborik got traded to Ottawa at the deadline

Does nobody see the /I just like Saad?

That trade would never happen.

I don't know which question comes first...

"What the **** is that Pearson/Gaborik thing?"
or
"What the **** is /I?"

Maybe we could trick Edmonton into giving us Lucic for Guentzel

There'd have to be retention on Guentzel...

Or we'd have to throw in Murray...his glove is trash anyway...

/edit /whatever /it's just a thought /it's a joke.

The gaborik crap was more or less, an I'm bored thought.

I doubt Kessel gets moved for anything anyone expects. If he gets moved at all.

All right, go back to sleep, Mork...we'll wake you if we need those emotes installed...

I forgot mikey controlled all thoughts when it came to hockey. I'll head back down to NPR.

I mean, this IS his randomness thread

Relax, pal...it's just a joke...

Though, I legitimately don't have a clue what you're talking about...I was still letting it slide...it's Friday, have a drink or take some ecstasy at least...

Kessel for Karlsson. Easy trade. One has 2 cups one doesn't.

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Fri May 25, 2018 2:39 pm

You would trade Kessel for, quite possibly, rental Karlsson...?

I mean, not that this helps Ottawa in any way, of course...but just from a geocentric perspective...

Phil should have taken himself out of the lineup late in the regular season to heal up& be closer to 100% for the playoffs. Would anybody argue that?

I mean, the coach could have pulled him out of the games and told him to get over the iron man streak. Why is everyone but Phil apparently faultless here?

He was our best player in the regular season...he was the Conn Smythe winner in 2016 rightfully, he had like a 23 point playoffs in 2017...what traits were shown that he needed to be pulled or he needed to pull himself out of the lineup and not do the job he's paid to do?

Is this just "something negative happened, so therefore, in retrospect, this event should have mitigated a risk that was not reasonably foreseen" talk...?

Postby **dodint** » Fri May 25, 2018 4:48 pm

How late are we talking here?

Postby **Morkle** » Fri May 25, 2018 5:10 pm

No idea. That seems to be Maddens angle. Phil only cared about the iron Man steak so he kept playing. If he was hurt that bad they do have a coach that say something.

there was a distinct drop off in quality with 10 or so games left in the season. i think there was some replay people saw, and they're saying that was *the inujury*. i don't know about all that, but he did go down hill, sharply, late in the season. and he looked like a guy who was hurt. it's not really a hot take to say that there's a reasonable chance his playoffs were compromised because of his commitment to his streak (or his general competitiveness), and he should have rested

Actually... a full season of arguably the games best d-man and a chance to re-sign for a guy who's value will never be higher and is on the wrong side of 30.

Pens either get and keep a top 3-5 d-man or lose him after 1 year and then have cap space to play with. I like Phil but I don't see him transitioning to a lower line player as his skills decline.

I'd probably do that. Not that I think the Sens would ever consider it.

Does the distinct drop off represent that injury is still on the table despite what Sullivan said...? For the record, I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm being conversational because there's not **** to talk about right now...

Did the 273rd game just finally get to him...? Because games 200 thru 272 were very strong...very much stronger than Crosby's or Malkin's...I'm just trying to make sense of it myself...
