Besides look who his center is seriously, ya Bozak is good at faceoffs.. but that's about it. His passing and playmaking is poor, if we really give Kessel and Van/lups a good #1 center Kessel will be easy 50 goal scorer. Guys he got 82 points last year with Bozak... lets get real here if he can put up numbers like that with Bozak imagine if we had a guy like Nash or Richards or Carter or Getzlaf somebody with some good playmaking skill Kessel would explode with points. Trading Kessel is not the answer Give him what he needs and Toronto will greatly improve. Its common sense people. Besides Toronto has more first round picks in their system then any other team in the NHL so if you have to trade some more 1st round picks to get a good center do it and let the others grow more. In few more years Toronto will be a dominating team.

Is his career high 13 goals? He is unproven and a risk. If he was that good the avalanche would have paid him or some team would already have traded for him. Is it just me or is Oreilly overrated?

No way should we trade kessel. We need a centre like ryan oreilly, Kadri is proving to be a top 6players. Imagine oreilly, Kadri, bozak? Grabovski should be gone Brent makes the most sense here.

Too premature to get rid of Kessel (even though I think he's a bit of a wimp). My seven year old loves Kessel so I have no choice but to root for him to get his groove back. IMHO Leafs are actually playing OK, not great, but with some luck enough to get to the playoffs. Chicago's gonna take it this year anyway. Everyone should just chill.

There is absolutely no positive side to trading a skilled and proven lead scorer, unless he doesn't want to play for the team... This talk about trading Kessel reminds me of why my hockey town is the joke of the NHL. A guy doesn't score for a few games, and he's hung on a cross? This guy was the sixth leading scorer WITHOUT a legitimate centreman. Has everyone forgotten that TO draft picks are bust unless they are traded away? Keep Kessel, pay him a mint, and be thankful that we have someone useful on this team... Trade anyone else, keep this man. I cannot believe I am reading this premature crappage.
