Good read

unless seguin flops.

Or someone injures him (Playing in a conference with Phaneuf and Pronger can't be great for that).

And I stand by Kessel's 50+ this season.

Agreed. Imo Kessel is going to shut up the critics of the Seguin trade this season.

Who are the critics? It was a solid hockey trade for both teams. Leafs got a stud young forward, Bruins got 3 potentially high picks. One pick turned out to be good and that extra pick allowed them to trade for Horton. Bruins had to make the move and got a good return. Leafs now have a potential perennial 40 + goal forward. Great hockey trade. I couldn't fault either team in hindsight and this deal will be as equal as you could get when we look back on this one..

this is what you say kyle. take a survey of hockey media in toronto/toronto fans. the majority severely dislikes that trade.

I am not sure if you took that survey today if they would still say that. Look at how great Kessel has been. Burkie wanted a sped up rebuild and he did just that. Toronto is a playoff team this year. And Kessel has just as much chance of getting hurt as Seguin does, playing against Pronger and Chara. That is out of the equation.

well thats what i mean right. all of last season, almost everyone in toronto/the toronto media hated the kessel trade. but as more and more games are played this season, i think slowly he's going to silence all critics

Doubt it, the majority of hockey fans in this city are morons.
