Kessel didn't look that great

[ablatt]

I didn't think a guy who was acquired for two first round picks and a second, looked that great on the U.S. Olympic team. He was 3rd line, saw very little power play and did not look like he belonged with the elite players around him.

Combine that with the Phaneuf deal and I see Burke setting our team back years. Burke appears to pick guys based on reputation and not what they can do today.

It's probably our water. GMs become morons as soon as they come in here.

He hardly played.

Wouldn't you expect the guy you traded your future for, to play?

Burke messed up the leafs!!
Kessels isnt all that

I guess so, I didn't think the trade was a good one though. I love Kessel but we gave away 2 back to back top 3 picks most likely.
