I've been hearing this a lot on Ozzy's Boneyard lately.


It's a sign!

Shut up, Sully... and collect your championship, and leave Phil, be Phil..

Come home where the Hot Dogs were never better...

Oh. Phil doesn't care for gourmet Hot Dogs...

Kessel has positive value, especially retained. Gardiner does not. I would try again.

Well my proposal didn’t have Kessel being retained now did it?

If we’re doing the 50% thing then the offer goes up for sure. Even as is the offer could be increased but just using it as a starting point.

My dream of slamming a few Sonoran's with Phat Phil will soon die. If he heads to Detroit or New Jersey I can build build new hot dog eating fantasies.

5M signing bonus already paid... 1M base salary...


Eugene Melnyk absolutely salivating right now.

Seriously though, Sens need a RW anyways. So. What would Coyotes ask from Sens?

So Colorado can probably be counted out of the Kessel sweepstakes after signing Ryan Murray. They now only have $2.4m in capspace which wouldn't be enough for Kessel even at 50% retained / $3.4m

I think you'd have a hard time convincing Kessel to waive to Ottawa.

He wants to go somewhere he's not counted on and that has firepower to stuff his numbers.

Kessel actually does what he's supposed to do and does it well. Does Gardiner do that?

Kessel makes 8 mil but Toronto has retained 1.2 yearly making it 6.8. Comparable contracts are Nylander, Seabrook, Bergeron, McDonagh, Provorov, Gaudrea, Giordano, Pastrnak, Schenn, Kreider, Gallagher, etc.

At $158,000 Cost per point he's comparable to Mark Stone, Patrick Kane's contracts and better than Matthew Tkachuk and Austin Matthews.

At $340,000 cost per goal: he's comparable to Pastarnak and cheaper than Crosby, McDavid, Ovechkin.

And that's when playing with little support in Arizona.

If he has any amount retained by Arizona which they seek fine with doing, he would be a huge pick up for any team that needs scoring.
Jesus christ you're comparing him cost per point against selke finalists.
