Buds Board Keepers League

To Ottawa

Chris Kelly

To Pittsburgh

Dustin Penner

sure

pretty fair

both sucked this year, but both have been good in previous years.

ill take the penner side. maybe he'll find his fat groove again in anaheim. kelly's ceiling is pretty low.

I like Kelly more, he is a sure thing to produce in the peripheral based categories, and has a ceiling of 30-35 points. Dustin Penner obviously has a much higher ceiling, but his floor is the same point totals with little to no periphs, and unfortunately Penner is more likely to hit his floor. I also don't think people realize how many good wingers Penner is going to have to bypass to get consistent top 6 minutes with the Ducks (Perry, Palmieri, Selanne [presumably], Etem, Silfverberg and even Cogliano who is coming off a solid year).

If Kelly stays in Boston, I think you see him moved to wing this year. If he gets moved (and i hope he does), I think you will see a bump back to his normal production in the short term. I can honestly say he was probably the worst Bruin, on average, all of last season.

I hope the Bruins move him there too, but I can't see it. They have already lost Peverley, and sacrificing Kelly on the dot in addition to him would make the Bruins far less effective as they would start with the puck less.

Kelly was awesome in ottawa

Penner was awesome in Ana - first go around

could be bounce back years for both of them - much like the offer i proposed on HF boards.

Etem and Cogliano both didn't play top 6 last year very often. I agree with your point though.

I expect Etem to compete for a top 6 spot this season, Cogliano likely stays on the third line.

Gonna see Soderberg move to his natural position. Kelly can do the Rw better than Soderberg on lw.

I hope you are right, the Bruins are far less threatening with Soderberg on the dot then Kelly. IMO, one of the biggest reasons that the Bruins are so lethal is because lines 1-3 had a center that was elite at taking draws, and Peverley just in case someone got booted from the circle.
