Ryan Kesler has broken away from the likes of Pavalski and Backes, the numbers and defensive game shows it, its more like Pavel Datsyuk nowadays minus the godlike hands

like me and a friend were saying like 30 games ago, at this point in his career I wouldn't trade kesler for kovulchuck, he has the heart and determination you want in your upper echelon players and he's also the type of guy who never takes a game off, players like these are invaluable
And saying this is too much too early is kinda stupid IMO because a contract like this was the only way to keep him long term at a reasonable rate, if we had signed him to a 2 year deal and he continued to progress at the rate he is there is no way your getting him for 5 at the end of that contract

True, if he were for anything less, it wouldnt be the same 2yrs later. We all know what kind of work ethic he has. Last night showed it after being cut for icetime tuesday
Im a little iffy on the 5per for 6, and i really hope he proves me wrong.
