Kessel can stay home, he isn’t a positive addition

Ya who would wanna add 15-20 goals in their lineup anyway !

No point in adding Bear to a already log-jammed right side, especially when we traded him last year to just let him play.

Except he wouldn’t add that playing 8 minutes a night on the 4th line.

You think a line of Bunting - Teuvo - Kessel would get 8 minutes a night????

Even Noesen is getting 12 minutes per night haha

Noesen at least tries to play defense. Kessel doesn’t. Not a comparable

Which would be why hes on a line with players than can play defense.

You literally just compared them, and then said they arent comparable.

Kessel is more offensive minded while noesen is more defensive minded.

To say he would only get 8 minutes a night on this line, is nuts.

Wanting kessel on this team with our style is nuts. It doesn’t matter if his linemates play defense, if he doesn’t he isn’t playing. We play man to man defense. His linemates won’t be able to cover him

I mean he can't be any worse than deangelo and we put up with that for some reason so...

Besides being a lot slower and creating a lot less offense, yeah not any worse

I think you just have a hate on for Kessel, and thats ok.

I agree. Seen Bear was still a FA so I thought itd be silly to sign him ahaha

Either signing here move the needle.

Wingers: Svech, Jarvis, Turbo, Necas, Bunting, Martinook, Fast, Noesen. Who sits? I see you’ve moved turbo to center, but I don’t think that’s a long term solution, only a stop gap for injury.

If Teuvo doesnt play Center than id probably take out Martinook. I just think Kessel could be a fun experiment, especially since we could get him cheap

No offense, but as someone who has a picture of HCRBA as their profile picture, I find it hard to believe you’d advocate taking Martinook out for Kessel.

No offense, but as someone who has GMDW as their profile picture, I find it hard to believe you wouldn't advocate for signing Kessel.

Kessel saying he can still play doesn’t mean he can - see Vegas last year.

If you sign Kessel, plug him into the lineup ever night playing 10mins per night, you might get 15 goals. I would agree with this.

However, I’d argue doing this weakens the forward group as it take Drury out of the lineup who would be better defensively at this point. The real add would be a center who can add better goal scoring.

I’d guess Kessel plays only in case of injury, so what’s the point?

It would weaken the forward group defensively yes. There is ALWAYS give and take

What do you mean whats the point? MORE GOALS BRUDDA

Who wouldnt want to add a possible 15 goals from a multi time cup champ? Thats what GMDW is all about

Hard to score goals from the pressbox

Except I have him in the lineup so he would be playing.......................
