I never realized Kessy has that much offence in his game. When you think about it. Where would Rieder have fit on our team? We are in more need of a Kessy/Moroz type players
I'm surprised to see so many people disappointed with this trade.
When I check out the Trade Rumours and Proposals thread all I ever see is people suggesting we trade our small, skilled forwards for refrigerators with half the skill.
I like Rieder, but the Oilers also have a full cupboard of top 6 players who lack size. Not expecting much from the new guy, but he looks to have similar numbers as Stortini in his Jr. career, not saying that they are compatible at all, just an observation
I don't know enough about Kessy to make a real valid argument here... but this is a terrifying trade as of right now.
Hopefully Kessy turns out.... I feel Edmonton traded a potential top 9 forward for a potential 4th line forward...He did have more points than Moroz this year though.
5.0D? Geeeeeez.....
Just because he's big doesn't mean anything.
We traded away our #1 ranked RW prospect not named Nail Yakupov for their 6th rated LW prospect?
Will this guy be any better than C Hamilton doubt it . But expect us to be moving high skill for maybe can play big players. I don't like the trade.

Terrifying? Are you serious? Please tell me you aren't serious. Is he serious people?
As if Rieder was ever going to be a difference maker in this organization.
OMG, the sky is falling! Rider has been dealt!
Big overagers like Kessy should score more than what he has done. You think Kessy will be a better hockey player in 5 years than Rieder? Good luck with that.

It is silly. How can such a minor trade be "terrifying"?
