I’ve said this before, but when Carlyle was with Anaheim he really loved Filppula.

Kessel’s got two more years on a contract that would have a cap hit of $5.25M (about what Fil thinks he’s worth). So, being a completely impartial observer, Fil plus Q plus a second rounder sounds more than fair to me. 
Kessel on Pavel’s right wing and Nyquil on his left next year just might get Dangles to reconsider heading back to Russia.

Hockey Central panel is a joke sometimes. Majority of their segments on TV are based around speculation to drive tv audience numbers.
As a Leaf fan, I can tell you that the odds of Kessel being traded are next to 0. It would make no sense for this franchise to move a young sniper capable of putting up 40 goals, when they are aware that they are in the middle of a build anyways.

I question why you think the Leafs would approach any situation sensically. It made no sense to acquire Kessel at the price they paid for him, either.

Well, they’ve spent four years not getting the proper centre that could get him to that 40-goal plateau.

No thanks. Kessel is an elite sniper w/ speed and that’s about it.

Yeah who needs an elite sniper with speed?

Oh, is that it? Because being an elite sniper with speed is practically nothing.
