yeah no

Minnesota can't afford Kessel, And no way are the Ducks dealing Manson and taking on Maatta.

Why is Rutherford trading Kessel now?

yeah trading kessel is a sure fire way to not see the cup again in the next 15 years or so. We can just forget that idea.

Dont see us trading Kessel but hey u never kno?
That is a lot for an ok RHD in Manson?

No yeah man

Fair enough. I think that's A LOT to give Manson. He's been very average this year. Maybe even below average.

I agree. It is a lot. Probably too much. Regarding Phil, I don't see them trading him either but there's all this talk of GMJR being aggressive. But the question is, aside from a 1st round pick, what else do they have of value? Not much. And they're playing with fire if they let that 1st pick go...could end up being a high pick.

every minnesota fan on here will you tell you one of two things about this:
1. they can't afford kessel
2. that trade isn't good for minnesota

I don't actually think it realistic that he is traded..that said, I still think pitt wants to do something aggressive, call it desperate, and there's only a few players that have any value. And I hope a 1st round pick isn't in play.
