Not confirmed yet. No details either.

I don't know how I feel about two first rounders. There has to be more to it like they are saying.

Getting rid of 2 first rounders don't go with Burkie's vision of a rebuild.

My thoughts exactly.

Not liking this.

Giving up 2 1st's and a 2nd should only be when the guy is going to put your team over the top and make them Stanley Cup contenders.

Kessell will NOT make the Leafs that..

The next couple draft years are pretty bad lol.

we will just have to wait and see, the kid is only 21

We could have almost gotten Chris Pronger with that package. Bad Bad deal, I understand why Burke would trade the picks though. On defense we are set and he thinks that we are one good forward away from competing.
expects them to

lol, why would we want pronger

this is a good trade for Toronto. Kessel is still only 21-22 years old and is already a dynamic scorer. The Leafs look more and more like a playoff contender every day.

Leafs will make the playoffs next year.. mark these words. I promise it.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Even if Kessel was healthy from day 1 I don't see that happening this year.

Believe homie, cause its happening.

This is a risky trade because Kessel is a flake.
When he's motivated, he's a potential 50-goal scorer, but he's not always motivated and one wonders how he will deal with the pressure of being in the NHL's 2nd most fanatic hockey market.
IMO, Kessel is a North American version of Alexei Kovalev. He will always tantalize you with his talent, but in the end disappoint.
