Phil Kessel to Toronto
1st and 2nd rd pick 2010, and 1st rd pick 2011 to Boston
Signs for 5 years $27mil.
He's a good young offensive player he's a good pickup but thats alot of early picks though. They might have to find a way to get some back, but Ive been hearing the next couple of draft classes arent that spectacular either so maybe its a good move. As with most trades, time will tell.
Why did it take this long for Toronto to get its head out of its ass?? Burke shows up and in less than a year has made more positive moves for this team than the last 10 years or more combined probably.
Three words. No Richard Peddie.
A guy who knows hockey gets complete control of hockey operations and suddenly good things happen. Go figure.
