Phil Kessel

This is intriguing. The New England Hockey Journal website has a page up right now under Boston Bruins that has a headline but no story. The headline is:

Bruins trade Kessel to Blues

The story however is blank. There's nothing there.

Are they messing with us? Are they jumping the gun? Do they know something we don't know and are just getting ready to release it?

So my weak little mind starts speculating... who could we get in return for Kessel? (on a side note, trading Phil Kessel is a HUGE mistake on the Bruins part. The only way I would accept that as a solution to the Kessel-is-a-restricted-free-agent issue is if he has told them point blank that he will never ever sign in Boston again. I don't see that happening though. Trading a 30+ goal scorer will be devastating to the Bruins in the 09-10 season.)

How about perenial trading deadline victim Keith Tkachuk?
How about young super defenseman/very poor golf cart driver Erik Johnson?
How about Brad Boyes? (Robert pauses a moment to let that one sink in... )

No matter who we get, this has got to suck for Phil Kessel. First cancer, now hockey in St Louis? You have to feel for the poor guy.

Don't trade him, sign him. I want our 30 goals back.
