A few old guys where talking about this over coffee this morning thought I would share

Speaking of Kessel, there was just a cool story about Pittsburgh making a decision on Kessel vs Oshie on NHL Network.

 

There was talk last year about Pittsburgh sitting alone on the draft floor and Rutherford getting into a heated argument with other staffers. Some staffers were trying to convince GMJR to offer the package they gave to Toronto to St. Louis for Oshie instead. Rutherford refused and got Kessel.

 

Safe to say it was the right move.

As a fan of the game I truly am happy for Phil.

 

The two teams I despise the most are Toronto and Pittsburgh.

 

So I'm torn over his success as a fan of the Sabres.

I love Phil Kessel. He's only played for teams I hate (except USA), but I love that guy.

Happy for Kessel and glad to see Rutherford vindicated.
