I wonder if we could've gotten Kessel for anyone other than Kap as the centerpiece. He's a real fun player to watch. Never going to be a huge point producer but he's always flying around, making things happen with his speed.

We could have.

Derrick Pouliot.

We could have.

Derrick Pouliot.

Please don't tell me that. Don't say those words to me.

Just imagine if round two involved CLB vs. TOR...people would lose their ****....

Screw this, Caps with 3 goals on 14 shots through 2 periods. I got better things to do.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Canes looked decent that period though.

Please don't tell me that. Don't say those words to me.

Leafs wanted Pouliot, we offered Kapanen instead after drafting Sprong.

Sucks.

As recently as two years ago, Derrick Pouliot was considered to be one of the best defenceman prospects in hockey. Mike Gillis reportedly targeted Pouliot in a potential Ryan Kesler trade, but the Penguins weren’t willing to give up their blue-chip defenceman. Again, in 2015 when the Leafs were shopping Phil Kessel, they were rumoured to be after Pouliot, but the Penguins had no interest in moving a player they saw as a cornerstone of their future.
