Burke sets his sight on Bruins' Kessel
Brian Burke was upfront yesterday about his pursuit of restricted free-agent forward Phil Kessel.
Oh Phil, where did it go wrong?
I avoided writing about the Phil Kessel Saga all summer, and did a good job of ignoring it. The only time I talked about it is when somebody asks me what is going on with Kessel or if it comes up in conversation with other Bruins fans. Otherwise, I haven't batted an eyelash.
That ends today. It's no longer summer.
The media storm kicked up quite a bit overnight. There...

Predators talking Kessel deal with Bruins
What's the last significant name the Nashville Predators added to their roster via trade or free agency? Paul Kariya(notes)? Peter Forsberg(notes)? The Tennessean reports that they're in for Boston Bruins RFA Phil Kessel(notes), which makes a ton of sense but remains a little stunning considering the suitor: Predators General Manager David Poile confirmed as much on Friday...

This isn't playing out well.
Being a Sioux fan people are naturally probably starting to wonder why I am so interesting in Phil Kessel and his contract negotiation with the Boston Bruins. I know he played for the much despised Golden Gophers for a season before he left for the NHL. Frankly I wouldn't be as interested in this if he didn’t play for my favorite NHL the Boston Bruins. That being said, as a...
Kessel Takes A Stance
from Kevin Paul Dupont of Bruins Blog,
Phil Kessel has made it clear that he doesn’t intend to negotiate any longer with the Bruins, his Toronto-based agent in recent days informing the Boston front office that the right winger’s priority instead is to sign a free-agent offer sheet with one of the league’s 29 other teams.
All of which doesn’t necessarily mean that...
My remaining offseason predictions
1. Phil Kessel will be a Maple Leaf. Burke wants him and Kessel wants to wear the blue and white. Burke is trying his hardest to acquire the skilled winger via trade, but if the Bruins decide to deal him elsewhere, the Leafs will immediately put an offer sheet in. This is too good of a fit for the Leafs to miss out on.2. Heatley will be traded before the season starts. He'...
Recchi rolls with roles
WILMINGTON - Despite the shortcomings in Phil Kessel’s game, flaws reflected in management’s hesitation to break the bank for the sniper, there is no denying he is the organization’s most dangerous goal scorer. So as both player and franchise prepare for the wing’s eventual departure, be it via trade or offer sheet, the task for the Bruins is to find ...
Mike Augello: KESSEL, BRUINS CUT OFF TALKS
Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe is reporting that talks between the Boston Bruins and Phil Kessel's agent have been cut off and that Kessel is going to sign an offer sheet.
Dupont goes on to say:

Jesse Connolly: Have You Had Your Phil of the Thrill?
MySpace Countdowns
Face it, there's nowhere left to hide. No matter how far you run, or how large of a rock you discover to seek shelter under, Phil Kessel will find you. Phil Kessel will crawl inside your brain. Phil Kessel will leave you curled up in the fetal position in the corner of a windowless room, shouting things to yourself like....
"Phil wouldn't publicly...

Kevin Gibson: KGB: Quick Takes
Some random thoughts to ponder before my official 09/10 return on Monday.
The name Redfield T. Baum is becoming legendary like Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Both for the wrong reasons. My take on both, move the Coyotes for the Love of God, and Buck Weaver, only innocent man 90 years ago of the eight. Re-Instate Buck.
Marc Savard assisted on 22 of Phil Kessel's 36 goals last...
