When you're named one of the top prospects in the league, what would you call him?</p>

A top prospect... lol</p>

 

[Maiden]

Blackhawks have told any one who has asked that TT "is not available. Next question."</p>


 </p>


It would take quite an offer to give him up.</p>

 

[Ton]

The kid is good, and chances are, he has a good career, maybe even great.</p>


 </p>


But you can't call him a franchise player yet.</p>


 </p>


I'm not saying I would give him up, but you have to know that Vancouver is asking about him. I don't think Bowman will give him up, I'm just saying it would be tempting.</p>

 

[Variable]

All he needs to be is good. That's all he needs to be. He doesn't need to be leading the league in points, he doesn't need to win awards. Just be good. I'll take mostly an entire career worth of "good" in Teuvo vs. at the most 2 years of Ryan Kesler before he moves on because he cannot be afforded (and would you want to spend that kind of cap space at that point on him anyway?) and you'll be left looking for or waiting for that "elusive" second line center again. Kesler is the short term fix at the expense of the guy you've been looking around for, what, almost a decade now?</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

I agree with Dan Bernstein above.</p>

You give away Teravainen and I am going to freak out... hardcore.


You watch... TT is going to be a star in this league... I just hope it's not for another team.</p></blockquote>


Bigger than Beach?

Beach was a completely different story... he was supposed to be an Avery type of semi-impact player that liked to be a dick.</p>


 </p>


TT is a potential game changer.</p>

 

[PatrickShart]

Only an idiot would under value Kesler


What other team would boast 2 Selke winning centers on their top lines? And he's physical(100+ hits a year), and he's scored 40g..and good at faceoffs (.529% lifetime and RH nonetheless)

At least I like men and not little boys like you.</p>

 

[the canadian dream]

BURn!!!</p>

 

[Variable]

No one is under valuing Kesler. None of these trade proposals are realistic for either team. These are trades you make in video games.</p>

 

[the canadian dream]

I have trades turned off on my video game. Someone with them turned on will have to let me know if these trades get approval. </p>


 </p>


 </p>


P.S. I still cant win a faceoff.</p>

NO!! Back in the old days all you had to do was throw a body check during a faceoff and pass the puck into the net. THese new games suck!!</p>

 

[PatrickShart]

Well refusing to trade a mod round pick (what TT is) for a Selke winning 29 year old center seems to be under valuing
