Kessel -- NHL ETA: 2009?

he'll be in the nhl next year...he's one of the older players in the draft so he'll be almost 19 when the season starts.

Just because he's older doesn't mean he's ready.

I'm some what doubtful, but I hope he's dead serious and says so in all his interviews. That way maybe he'll drop, and we can maybe have a shot at moving up and getting him like we got Marc Staal. We could use a solid first line center prospect in our depth chart. It will be interesting in any case. Many in the Rangersphere think we should try to move up and get Jordon Staal, but I fear he will go top 8 and be very costly to acquire.
