NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

ROCKER

Edit:

Here's the thing, Kessel has been more than a point-per-game player for the past two seasons and had the second most power play points behind Kucherov during that span, so needless to say, you can not replace that kind of elite offense, and for that reason the Penguins are taking a hit offensively as a result of this trade.
That being said, Galchenyuk is much younger (25 yrs old) and had 41 points (19 goals, 22 assists) in 72 games this past season, on a pretty bad Coyotes team. He, has also amassed NHL career-highs in goals (30) and points (56) with the Canadiens in 2015-16, and could match or exceed those totals depending on where he fits in Pittsburgh's top-six and power-play mix.
 
Not a fan of Kessel being moved but it looks he has a history of asking to be traded.
I’m hoping GMJR is planning on making a few more moves, especially on the defensive side or this current roster will be lucky to make the playoffs this coming season.
