TSN.ca ALERT: Sources: Maple Leafs and Bruins reach an agreement on a trade that will send Phil Kessel to Toronto.

Sources tell TSN the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins have reached an agreement on a trade that will deliver Phil Kessel to the Leafs.
The trade is pending Kessel agreeing to a contract with Toronto. It's a process the Leafs are working on right now.
If the contract gets done, the deal is finalized and the trade goes through. If the Maple Leafs are unable to come to terms on a contract with Kessel, the deal may fall through.
The trade would end a saga that began during the lead-up to the NHL Draft when Kessel originally appeared to be headed to Toronto in exchange for defenceman Tomas Kaberle and a draft pick. However, the deal was scuttled at the last moment due to a miscommunication over the pick.
The Bruins had been unable to re-sign the 21-year old Kessel and the two sides were miles apart on a new contract. A restricted free agent, Kessel was reportedly looking for a deal in the neighbourhood of $4-5 million a season, while the Bruins, who are right up against the league mandated $56.8 million salary cap, could not afford to sign the Madison, Wisconsin native to the terms he desired.
Kessel informed the team through his agent last week that he was through negotiating and intended to sign an offer sheet with one of the league's other 29 clubs.
While both the Nashville Predators and New York Rangers had shown interest, Leafs' general manager Brian Burke's persistence finally paid off.
Kessel, who is sidelined until at least November following rotator cuff surgery, overcame a battle with testicular cancer in 2006 and captured the Masterton Trophy in 2007 for perseverance and dedication to hockey. He enjoyed a career season with the Bruins last year, leading the team with 36 goals in 70 games while adding 24 assists to finish with a career high 60 points. He was selected in the first round, fifth overall by the Bruins in the 2006 NHL Entry draft.

Why does phaneuf need to defend himself or fight over a clean hit?
This just perpetuates the stupid fucking scrums that ALWAYS happen after clean hits
the only reason there was such a mel้e was because it was so devistating, he may be a pussy but buddy will remember to keep his head up in the future

yeah real smart. | I can see Kessel crumbling under the pressure and expectations of playing in Toronto ala Jason Blake. Even worse cause he's younger. Leafs fans better hope he's up to it because he will be their go-to guy.

the Kessel deal is retarded on TO's part, it's a big splash to make the idiots belive they are instant contenders
giving up first and 2nd round picks just moves them into a position to never have the young cheap players they need to go deep in the playoffs 3-5 years from now, and Kessel is not a game breaker/playoff performer who is going to push you over the edge
looks like the laughs will be treading water once again, while burke and nonis commit big money to stay at home d-men and non-game changing forwards.

That was a good hit by Dion, I hope Okposo is okay though..poor guy got ganged, first getting knocked off balance and then the final blow
Dion has a repuation of being an asshole both on and off the ice so I'm not surprised theres such a huge uproar from the fans and Morency who just hopped off a bench to get a piece of Dion..
Asshole should fight his own battles instead of running away.
On another note, another great move by Toronto

That really is my main issue, besides Phaneuf being a chicken shit, is that Okposo was already checked by Dawes, and there was another Flames D man covering him and Phaneuf still feels its necessary, in an exhibition game, with his roster spot safe, to cross the ice leaving his D position to hit a player in an extremely vulnerable position. | like said before, i dont think clean hits need to be fought over..
yes, i feel bad for okposo, but you cant have a fight after every clean, yet devastating hit.
people fighting for stupid reasons is why the nhl is being pressured to look into banning fighting.
why does phaneuf need to fight? did he get a penalty on the play? i dont think he did. and that gave the energy to the flames, and they popped off the win. and i think the a good majority of the energy the flames got, was boosted off phaneuf's hit.
if it was dirty, and phaneuf left his feet or threw in an elbow, by all means he should be punished, or fight for throwing a douche bag hit.
but there is only milliseconds btwn when okposo was shoved by dawes and when phaneuf hit him. there was really no way for him to stop...and as you can see from the beginning of the video, phaneuf was already hooking in for the hit before dawes hit okposo. it was game over right at the start of the video for okposo
i wish him well and hope he gets back on the ice soon though
