News Article: Phil Kessel in Vancouver, working out in Abbotsford

[Aphid Attraction]

This is probably the worst idea I’ve seen proposed here.

Then trade Joshua and bring back Jake Virtanen.

 

[olafsson]

Move Garland at the deadline while his value is high and bring in Kessel to replace what Garland brings to the 3rd line.

How about we keep Garland? We’re going to need all hands on deck if they want to go deep this year

Then trade Joshua and bring back Jake Virtanen.

Much better!

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Much better!

The beer and hotdog line.

The beer and hotdog line.

I think Kessel would despise Virtanen so much. Which would be funny as hell.

 

[carjackmalone]

So when he proves himself in Abby,and the Nucks are ready to bring him up to the show will he have to go through re-Entry Waivers and potentially get claimed by another team ?

 

[God]

I don't care if this makes sense or not. I want it to happen.

In all seriousness, the guy would be a playoff encyclopedia in terms of dealing with the pressure. Hes been around the best and would have alot to teach.

Our PP needs help, bring in Phil the Thrill!

 

[Flik]

LF f***ing Go

Nope. Same situation as Puljujarvi in Pittsburgh who just signed a contract there.

 

[Slapshot_11]

I expect him to play 2 games

 

[Kryten]

I hope he scores 7g and 1a to get 420 goals and 1000 points

 

[The Stig]

Literally no downside to bringing him in. Costs no assets and either it works or it doesn't and you can send him to Abby.

 

[cabinessence]

He's coming off seasons of 8 and 14 goals respectively.

“wtf all this guy does is skate really fast along the boards and pass to no one”

This is probably the worst idea I’ve seen proposed here.

Gaborik and Cammalleri are laughing at you

 

[Nomobo]

Maybe Tocchet can squeeze a bit more out of him.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Yeah, just dangle him from the Towers by his ankles for extra motivation, yknow.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Kessel during the Gillis era would’ve been hilarious. Burrows, Kesler, Wellwood, Bieksa, Hordichuk, O’Brien, Lu, Schneider in a locker room with him lol

 

[bbud]

Kessel as a piece good move as long as management sees enough guys won some cups bring us one

Where the hell were you all game? The calls were awful and you weren’t there when we needed you the most

Re-entry waivers haven’t been a thing for nearly 20 years.

Saw your reply and thought to myself “surely whatever they said can’t be that bad.” Then I read the post. Yikes!
