All I know is that Kesler will haunt this team for years to come. You know he will get up for every game against the Canucks. It's just how he is. He will want to try and destroy them every chance he gets. I just hope he doesn't try and hit the Sedins. I'm also interested to see how he and Burows play against each other. That could be really interesting to watch. Perry and Kesler are going to be absolutely hell to play against. I really do see a bromance forming between those two.

When he played for us, he gave it his all. MG/AV played a big part in screwing this team up. I'm sure the Schneider/Luongo debacle has pissed off a lot of Canucks. Kesler took a discount to play for this team so that they could be a contender. If he truly only cared for himself he would have held out for more money, but he was a team player in that case. Can you imagine how much harder it would have been to get rid of him if he was making even more money?
He's a *****. He always has been. Remember when he took shots at Lu in an olympic intermission interview in Vancouver? His competitive drive is why his attitude is such garbage, but that's what some players need to be like to win. He is ruthless. He signed for a good cap hit and that allowed him to be traded a contender. That's one of the benefits you get from signing to a solid cap hit and having an NTC. If you sign a massive contract, good luck trying to ask for a trade to a contender. It's quite clear that the Sedins are on the decline. Does Daniel even know how to score anymore? Kesler knows he plays a reckless game and he may only have a few decent years left in him. This team is def. not going to be a contender for a few years so we might as well get something back. It's too bad the list wasn't a little bigger, but what can you do?
The only thing that irked me is that he is a bit of a coward when around the trade deadline he was talking about how it is really tough to be in trade rumours and how he loves vancouver when he was the one that requested the trade. It's just sneaky. He saw what happened to Lu so instead of owning up to his decision he tried to make it seem like he was the one being shipped out by management so the fans wouldn't hate him. For that, he can go **** himself. Just someone that was trying to be sneaky so that the fans would still like him.
Remember when Eddie Lack fell for that fake rumour at the trade deadline and told kes that he was traded to the penguins at practice? I'm kinda thinking that he didn't give a damn that he gave Kes the wrong info.
