Would be a good depth move. Bump Hoglander up to top 6 and Have Kessel slide in to the 4th line with Aman/Laffery/PDG and give him PP2 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 2 hours ago, JayDangles said: Thats got to be one of the silliest post ever. '73 said his fitness has never been an issue, so i'm clarifying that there's no evidence to support his current fitness level, I didnt say he wasn't in shape, I'm simply stating that using his past and applying it to the current situation (36 year old player who hasn't played in 9 months) is risky. So you're asking me to provide evidence he isn't in shape? Pretty sure its more relevant that someone prove that he Is Lol, that's the silliest? Don't be so sensitive. You made the point to clarify that his fitness prowess was all in the past. Phil history is the only thing we know about his fitness level, unless someone knew something about his current fitness issue, so I asked if you had heard anything about his current fitness issue. Everything about Kessels history tell us he is likely in good shape, so don't be so sensitive if someone pushes back if you focus on the fact that's "all in the past". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be awesome to be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sativika Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I'm a lil' iffy regarding Kessel. I like him enough. Always have. Even on the hated Bruins and Leafs. Sure he's 36 and hasn't played in a while. But there's gotta be something said about muscle memory. I mean, I'm sure the dude still has chops. And though he's older, given that his aerobic fitness hasn't suffered too much with that time not playing, I'm sure he can fill a void much needed with our club. Even if he only plays limited minutes. Which I'm pretty sure he will. Okay. I just sold myself on him. Let's do it. Scoring winger dilemma solved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still kinda want him in the room though so…. What the hey eh!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I like him going to Abby to workout. Abby has been poor lately. May be a bit of a pick me up for them. May be able to sign him to minimum contract and improve both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmyparttwo Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 4 hours ago, canuck73_3 said: He can play in a 4th line role He probably could but by any definition of an effective, flourishing fourth line, I just don’t think a team that is planning a long playoff run can ice a player with Phil’s talent profile. By the way, I’ve loved this player for as long as he’s been in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, It just seemed odd to me. Someone saying that because he has been really fit, then we should just assume he is in great shape. Now, with this new news about Kessel being in Van to practice with the baby Canucks... I like the sound of that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
