He was good for the 3 or 4 seasons before last year,he really struggled possession wise last season. Only one bad year though, so reasonable chance he bounces back, good pickup, like every player these days, his contract might look bad in a couple years.

What's worse is Toronto will likely give it to him :(

@TSNBobMcKenzie now
VAN trades 3rd round pick acquired in Kesler deal to NYR for Derek Dorsett. So add Dorsett to VAN's return on Kesler.

How many Canucks games do you even watch? SeriouslyYou're seriously going to say you think Kesler's play the last 3 years has matched his level of play in the 3 years before that? Come on. He's 29 and had two shoulder surgeries and a hip surgery. The style he plays means even when he is in the lineup, half the time he's playing hurt. He has been and can be a game changer but to say he has been that consistently the past three seasons is a stretch.???He's not 2011 Kesler, and I'll say he never will be again.
He was one of USA's best player at Sochi. Bylsma had him on the #1 line with Kane. I have watched Kesler for 10 years now and when he's on he is a game changer. He does everything, PP, PK . He can play up and down the line up. 1st line wing, 2nd line center or he can play 3rd line and shut down roll. He basically made Toews disappear every time the Canucks played Hawks.
1 shoulder surg, 1 wrist, 1 hip. The shoulder injury may be something to be concerned about but the hip and wrist are fully healed and haven't and wont affect his play.

He was decent two years ago and could be a solid 5 or 6 d-man on any team. He has a booming shot and pretty reliable in his own end but he can be frustrating because he's a big guy ( 6'2" 225lbs) who doesn't really use his size. He really struggled at times last year picking up Torts' system but so did the rest of the team

If the injuries aren't an ongoing issue, the back to back 40 point seasons are even more concerning.How many Canucks games do you even watch?

If he is your 5th or 6th D your doing really well. If he's your 2 or 3, not so much

Congrats to him on shining alongside Patrick Kane. Bryan Bickell can do that too, doesn't make him a star.His play against the worlds best in Sochi isn't concerning though.If the injuries aren't an ongoing issue, the back to back 40 point seasons are even more concerning.How many Canucks games do you even watch?

Maloney said this move was purely about behavioral issues and not cost-saving move. Ribeiro has been seeking help this summer, Maloney said.

As per my last RT I've heard from others over the years about Mike Ribeiro's "issues" Even dating back to his time in Montreal and Dallas.

Dreger: Salary cap for 2014-2015. Cap is at $69. Lower Limit is $51 million.

A bit of a #### move by Maloney calling out Ribeiro's "issues". Will make it tough for him to find his next team. He's far from the only guy in the league with those "issues"....

Dear god serious rumors flying the Flyers are pushing hard for the first overall. Like dismantling #### to get it done. This is terrifying.

If he's on the Olympic roster then it kinda does. Bickell is a flash in the pan. Are you suggesting Keler is a flash in the pan?Congrats to him on shining alongside Patrick Kane.

I'm suggesting Kelser probably wasn't the player driving the effectiveness of that line. Let's not forget it was the American Olympic roster... they didn't even win a medal. It's not like he played for Canada.

not sure I get thisAlso, how can teams not know what the cap will be. How do you operate a business like that
Northern Voice
Footballguy
I think they needed the final revenue numbers from the cup finals, since it's based on league revenue. Not ideal, but not sure there's a way around it with the CBA.
AcerFC
Footballguy
why cant it be fixed. Players opposed to it? But it can go down so one in the hand no?
Acer, cap is tied to revenues. Takes them a bit to sort that stuff out and the season just ended not too long ago.
It's part of the CBA. Both sides negotiated this.

Florida may regret passing on 6/24/Shinkaruk for #1 overall
it's a good offer, but 1 to 6 seems like a big dropoff this year. maybe not though.
not sure Couver can really afford to be trading away 3 solid pieces for 1 either.

Ekblad would be gone before #6 - Panthers need D and have plenty of forward talent
if Reinhart is the Canucks target and Florida is taking Ekblad, that must mean the Sabres are taking Reinhart at 2 (I hope)
no way the Sabres would need a deal like what Couver is offering.

get the show on the road, Dale!
Sabres have TONS of picks. They need elite top-line talent.
Reinhart is the guy I hope.
not saying he'll be MacKinnon but would you have traded the Avs pick a year ago for a package like that?

very happy. hope he lives up to expectations.

I think it's a mistake to take a D-Man this early, and especially 1st overall. I know it works out, but I'd rather be looking for the high end offensive talent in the top 10.
Tim Murray is awesome. No shtick on stage...just give me Sam fn Reinhart.
no surprises so far.
Draisaitl to Edmonton. Could be a great pick for them.
German Gretzky!

The NFL has a similar approach, I believe. Remember a lot of talk this past offseason about the cap being much higher than expected, which led to a lot of spending.
Bennett and Monahan should be a nice start for the Flames rebuild
Bennett gets compared to Gilmour the most. Good fit there given the history.
