i think that would be a boost for the locker room as well. at least for a while. top 6 would be very nice. concentrate on a 3rd line and D in the offseason. would be a big fan of this.WOW, word is Penguins shopping Kessel - they think Hawks could make a logical partner and scouts will be there tonight from the Hawks.... as Murphy is coming back and Penguins would covet him...interesting as I never even thought we had any chance at a Kessel..
hmmmm....
Murphy, Sikura, +
for
Kessel????
radio program I listen to while working...Maclean and Kypreos and others on it...NHL Network airs their last hour I believe..Where'd you see that?
I'm skeptical. Why ld wouthe Pens trade him, and why would the Hawks want him? That's a big salary signed through 21-22, and another 31 year old player...
Martinsen and Kunitz shouldn't sniff the lineup. Rutta in for Manning, IMO.
both teams need to makes changes, Kessel has been playing 3rd line - they could get defense for him or at least a solid combo - for the Hawks, you think McD doesn't want to make a splash here for the STHs??? Kessel and Kane are boys, they wouldn't play on the same line but that power play??? what????? who knows but Yahoo is reporting Kessel being shopped now too, where there is smoke....
well, a guy who couldn't even make our blue line last year was coveted by the Cup champs and played top 4 minutes lol...we seem to be the team to go to for dmen that are poorly usedThe Pens are struggling defensively so they look to... the Blackhawks for help? Lol, what a time to be alive.
I could see the Hawks wanting Kessel, but I don't see how we are a fit for the Pens.
I will take Martinsen over Kruger. Every day. Twice on Sunday.
Rutta for Manning. Yeah I guess. Rutta isn't much of an improvement.

one of the teams - yes...Are they really saying that Hawks are after Kessel?
I think Kruger forgot he was in the lineup too lol...Forgot Kruger was in the lineup.
Kessel is actually a good fit. Hawks need natural goal scorers. ESPECIALLY right handed natural goal scorers(aren't most of them RH? Seems that way.)
Kessel is an engima, too. I don't think his age matters. I mean, his weight, the shape he's in, his fat face, how often he skates in the offseason, eating hot dogs, none of this has affected him in his career. He is somehow a great skater, and can absolutely fly... He's like 6'0 and 210 lbs. and uses something like...a 60 flex stick.
I love me some Kessel. I can't figure him out, but I love him.
At 10m until 21-22? That's another exposed youngin in the Seattle expansion draft, too. He has a NTC/NMC through the life of his contract.
he looks physically like one of the most unhealthy athletes in the game, pale, fat face, sloppy looking, hunched at times, bad breath hahahaha...but the dude can flat out play, and the Penguins are trying to light a fire under everyone and have put Kessel to the third line to play with spare parts...if we have something to offer for Kessel I think we should highly look into it..like you said this guy is going to be playing the game for at least 3-4 more years at a very high level..he defies logic lol!Kessel is actually a good fit.

His cap hit is only 6.8.At 10m until 21-22? That's another exposed youngin in the Seattle expansion draft, too. He has a NTC/NMC through the life of his contract.
preparing for tonight boys and gals!!!
the more I do think about, is a Keith for Kessel that far off???Anisimov+Murphy+2nd for Kessel. Dollars wash out. Spitballing what they could offer...maybe pittsburgh thinks they need depth and go for quantity bundle
His cap hit is only 6.8.
He makes like 6.8 per and he’s been a great producer.

Kypreos could be right - that is what the Pens would want from us, the salary would even out or close to it, and we lose a NMC for the expansion draft...Keith has to waive, but damn if you look at it objectively, it could make sense for both sides...though I am torn and would not want Keith to be traded, but that would shake **** up!
