TOR gets 1st round pick, Kapanen and Harrington for Kessel from PIT.

Hardly the haul delusional Leafs fans had been clamoring for.

Not much of a return for Kessel and the Leafs have to eat some of his salary. Makes me wonder if Shanahan took Canada Day off and left Sweeney in charge of looking after the place.

Holy #### are these guys MAJOR Toronto homers.

They get two firsts and a second as Cox just said. Only, two of those already have names.

That's the same price they paid for Kessel.

The only good thing about resigning Prosser is that it means no chance they sign Leopold

Wait until they see the return Phaneuf brings if they manage to move him. They'll be calling for Shanahan's head.

Most I'd go is a 3rd round pick for Phaneuf - any team that takes him is doing Toronto a favor

The picks the Leafs gave up turned out to be Tyler Seguin (#2 overall), Dougie Hamilton (#9 overall) and Jared Knight. Hardly the same value as what they just got.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

@wyshynski: The Penguins get Phil Kessel at $6.75 million through 2022 and don't give up Pouliot or Maata. How the hell isn't that a win?

 

[Statcruncher]

He's plan B if they can't get Chelios or Lidstrom to sign on the dotted line.

How funny is my life that my immediate reaction after hearing this rumor was to wish that it were true so I could dig up some of Sheriff's old posts about Semin

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Kessel, Tyler Biggs, Tim Erixon and 2nd in 2016 for Kapanen, Harrington, Spaling, 1st and 3rd picks in 2016. TOR retains $1.25M/year.

Erixon on pace to be a member of every NHL team by the end of his career

let me guess, you think they should sign gretzky too?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Timonen is done. Health issues and old age caught up to him.

Biggest Rangers news of the day by far is Sather stepping down as GM, will remain as President. Gorton promoted as expected.

Yeah this has been the plan for a while.

 

[Copeman]

So Kessel is going to be like 84 when his contract expires. Neat.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Lol

@CrzyCanucklehed: Malkin, Crosby, Kessel: 24.95 million

Toews, Kane, Bickell: 25 million

Theyll be fine.

 

[Parmcat]

Sad the Leafs couldn't get Mattaa, but happy with the return. The pics wont be high picks, but are solid.

Harrington is a depth guy, and Kapenen has huge upside.

Don't know much about Spaling

 

[D in the D]

Looking forward to a bunch of kessel and Crosby 2-on-0 breakaways next year, assuming the D and odd winger can clear the puck in 5-on-3 situations.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Penguins going to dominate in OT

@frank_seravalli: Cody Hodgson has agreed to a one-year deal in Nashville. Working on terms. #TSN

I have to agree, when I saw news that kessel traded to pens I said oh no goodbye pouliot or Matta. I would not have been happy but after seeing what we gave up, I love it.

Defense wasn't as weak as most thought last year. Injuries really hurt them. That said, the defense still needs a little work.

Great pickup for Rochester.

Mike Green gets 3 years, $18MM from Detroit. Surprised so short.

@ByKevinAllen: The Red Wings didn't believe they would get Mike Green because they wouldn't give a long-term deal. He agreed to a three-year deal.

He was always pretty good, surprised he could never stick in the NHL. One of the tweeners. Stud AHL guy.
