They don't have elite young talent which will be upper echelon in a few years.

Mr. Kessel, 24 years of age, is 3rd in the league in scoring.

He's a nice piece, but he's not the player who leads you to a Championship.  Sorry, we need more than Kessel.

This just in, Phil Kessel is not Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, or God.

At last the truth is revealed.

He's still elite upper talent. They just need more.
 
This is just painful to watch...MacArthur, Connelly and Lombardi can all sit I'd rather see Colburne, Kadri and Frattin. At least they have some desire to play and are willing to shoot the puck, play the body and have some balls.

I'm setting Wilson's Magic number at 15...

Agreed.  That's the point, and I'm a supporter of Kessel and the trade.

Exactly. Is he an all round player? No. He's not here to dish out hits and take hits. Is he good defensively? No. He's a pure goal scorer and they are not easy to find. You build around him is right.
 
Way to go Wilson.  Thanks for that month of January Gus, we need to give Reimer the starts now.

Great play by MacArthur there to set that up...oh he plays for the Leafs, whoops.

And can't really blame Reimer on that one, but make a big save once in a while?
 
Really, how much can we expect from this team's goalies when they're constantly being hung out to dry? They don't have a goalie problem, they have a "once anything goes wrong, we stop playing defence for 3 weeks" problem. And, it's not just a coaching thing either - they've been like this since the mid 90s.
 
Good one Mac. Blunder with the puck and now take a penalty. Canucks PP. Wilson and his 2 or 3 or 4 who knows how many coaches we have should watch this PP and maybe learn something.
