I will take a 31 year old winger in Kessel who has 10 goals in 19 games and will probably be in the NHL playing well for at least another 3 years over Your crap winger who has 1 goal in 18 games at 21 and will probably be out the league in 2 years.


Don’t argue with bruins fans. Biggest Homers

Bjork is 22 and has a career 15 points in 48 NHL games (3 this season)
Why would Pens need him? And Krug is a liability on the ice aha there’s a reason every armchair GM trade for Boston involves trading him. Krug plays easy minutes as a 2nd or 3rd pairing D even with injuries. I’m not saying he’s a bad player. He is what he is. A very good one way offensive D man. But certainly not the centre piece of a kessel deal


Bjork hasn't played an entire season yet. if you actually watched him play you know the points are coming.

Lol, best RW in the NHL? Top 5 sure. Best...pretty tough argument. He’d have competition for best RW on B’s. Personally i’d take Kucherov as #1 but it’s subjective. Does not matter. Kessel has no desire to return to Boston and the contract that gives him that choice.


He’s certainly top 10 best RW, That is one of the best in the league.

Alright, than lets not do the deal. The deal is overpayed and u don't know any value of any bruins player. There you go, thank you for your time, and shut up if you don't know anything.


Clearly I don't know value... CLearly. Like 60% of your scoring comes from 3 player and outside of Debrusk all that "talent" in those young wingers has managed like what 3 goals in over 100 man games. And you wonder why the team is falling apart now that Bergy is injured. But hey, good luck with that. Let me know when you realize you can't win a cup with no depth and Boston clearly doesn't have it. But hey, Boston fans think they have an all star team with every young winger being the next Gretzky

“The points are coming”
Haha I doubt that but okay. Anyways, the trade is off in value completely. If the bruins want kessel it would be Carlo+
Pens aren’t trading value without value coming back

come on now. One of the best. does not mean the Best, it means like a top 5 or whatever. Lets be fair now. This trade is already ridiculous enough tears of joy

I guess you don't know the definition of a re-build. You don't re-build with 31 year olds.


You don't rebuild with guys who can't score either tears of joy

As for your 'Why is Krug involved in every trade' comment is because the Bruins probably won't be able to afford him after next season and the Bruins would be trading from a position of strength. Also, for those who call him a one way dman should be ban from this site or any hockey related website. All of this would be clear if you actually watched the Bruins play at all.

Yeah and I’ll go conservative and say top 10.

when did I say we have depth or we were going to win a cup. I never said that. Yeah, assumptions. These kids... no idea what they are saying

He’s literally Boston’s gardiner. So one way. There’s a reason he plays the easiest minutes and never gets CLOSE to a top pairing role

Can't score? He plays on line 3 with a carousel of centres. I would imagine you thought the same of Kapanen (he plays on the Leafs in case you were wondering) but now that he's on an actual scoring line he's producing. If Bjork was given an opportunity to play with Malkin or Crosby in Pittsburgh he'd score plenty and play a good 200 foot game in the process.

He plays easy minutes? Are you lost? He's averaging 22 minutes per night. With the injuries the Bruins currently have he's the #1 dman playing in all situations.

NHL Center Ice. Try it. Watch out of market games. Spread your wings little one and stop being cheap. It's a really good investment.

That’s just how they paired them in last game. Krug still got more ice time. Same way Hornvist is first line RW while Kessel is 2nd. Does not mean Horny is better. And if you look at the ranking under the name. Krug #2 LD in NHL. Which is ridiculous of course. He isn’t. But he is better than people outside of Boston think he is. There is a misconception that he is poor defensively. He isn’t ever going to be a shut down guy or play PK minutes, but metrics show he’s far better than his detractors think he is.

you keep watching the talking heads, and I'll keep watching the games. It's why one of us understands players who belong in the AHL and the other doesn't.
PS. Donato looks good down there in Providence. You should try watching some AHL games instead of talking idiots. You might learn the difference between what an AHL player looks like and an NHL player looks like. Maybe then you won't keep trying to trade off career AHLers for Conner McDavid. But hey, CapFriendly away there troll

I mean gardiners defensive analytics are great too, but I think we can all say he’s not great defensively. Analytics, while important, aren’t a “be all end all” answer to players

*Penguins Fan View* I don't think this is an awful trade at all like some of the other responses. Seems like a large package to give up. I would wager that Carlo, Bjork and a pick would be a better return package. Daniel Sprong will excel with an NHL team for sure, just not the penguins. He's got the shot/awareness like Ovi, just the size of 22 year old. I can definitely see Bruins not wanting to rid Carlo, but I think to get Kessel & Sprong back (especially at Kessel's 6mil price tag) you would have to give up one of those guys.
