Can we ban posts on the Kessel trade? Or at least set a post/comment requirement to post on it? This is getting ridiculous. BUT THE CAPS HELPED!!

My point stands.

Although

I liked your original conclusion for the Leafs better.

I like that Montreal loses, but its not really evident yet if Boston has won.

until the picks are better players producing/contributing at a better clip than Kessel then the Leafs are the winners

until further notice

I’m going to give you a little credit for actually showing what everybody got in this deal (though you should have mentioned who chicago drafted).

However… yeah, this still qualifies as talking about the Kessel trade.

chicago hasn’t drafted yet, they get their picks in 2011.

My mistake, I obviously didn’t read that closely enough.

Montreal: Gives up Mikhail Grabovski. receives nothing. NOTHING.

Surely Greg Pateyrn counts as something lol.

I’m sure I shouldn’t respond to a joke post, but I disagree that Lang was NOTHING. He contributed strong offensive and defensive play to the Habs that season and was leading the team in scoring when he suffered a season-ending injury – and it was from that point on that their season really went into the toilet. They lose the deal because they had rotten injury luck (and made the wrong decision on Grabovski/Kostitsyn), just like Boston wins because they had excellent Leafs-forget-how-to-score luck.

I've been looking at the sky
