Kovalev was better more often than not. 430 goals, 599 assists...not shabby. Semin on the other hand...238 goals, 275 assists. 57 games last season....6 goals, 13 assists. I don't think Kovalev EVER had a season that fucking horrific.

Kessel has been traded to the penguins for some youngsters and 2 draft picks..

Awesome news. This comes a day after Don Cherry basically gaurenteed everyone that Toronto wouldn't trade Kessel or Phaneuf.

As someone who hates the Leafs, I'm glad and I'm happy for Kessel, who got WAY TOO MUCH of the blame for that team going to shit. He's young, he's explosive, he has one of the best shots in the league and he's lead Toronto in the scoring every year he's been there.

Exciting trade for Pittsburgh. If he clicks with Crosby or Malkin that's going to be scary. Kunitz-Crosby-Kessel would be sick. Who knows how they'll play together, Phil's American so they don't have that international experience together.

Toronto should have kicked Phaneuf to the curb and kept Kessel IMO but what do I know.

Heck of a pickup for the Pens

I guess now they're saying they didn't like Phil's attitude or something.

Mike Green is a Red Wing now. He had 30 goals as a defenceman years ago, he used to put up Erik Karlsson offensive numbers. Wings picked up Brad Richards too!
