Pastarocket, you're very critical of Kessel, while overly generous of the Sedins.

I guess this is where I qualify my statements by saying I'm a Canucks fan, and never been a fan of the Leafs.

Kessel is an elite player, as are the Sedins. Is Kessel worth $8M? Your worth what the market will pay. Kessel could get $8M in the open market with the cap likely going up over the next three seasons.

He had the same number of points as both Sedins in last year's playoffs.

He's been criticized ever since he got traded to the Leafs. He's never had wingers to play with. At least the Sedins have each other. Kessel has played with Bozac and Lupel for the past two season.

And you know Kessel will punch or slash you back if you punch him in the face.

I think Kessel will have another PPG season this year and start a downward trend. Peak is usually the age of 27.

I'm not saying Kessel is at the level of the Sedins, but you can't shit on what he's done.
