The Genius of Peter



Even though we haven't gotten past the first 10% of the season, looking at how Toronto is playing, Peter Chiarelli looks like a damn genius.  Toronto is the only team with less then 2 points, and they are playing like poop.  I don't know about you, but I wasn't worried about Phil Kessel going to a divisonal "rival", and now it appears to be paying off dividends.  Bad goaltending, pitiful offense, and now Kessel gets the label of  "savior" when he returns.  I dont think he can handle that pressure and his play will suffer more then it did against good teams when he was here. If this keeps up we're looking at a top 5 and maybe even the #1 pick in the draft next year.  I'll take that over Kessel any day.

The most important part of this is

If this keeps up
I fully expect Toronto to win any games during this season. They’ll get gustavsson back, the defense will play a little better, (komisarek head goal lol) and kessel will come back and maybe even score some goals.

Then again maybe they’re totally screwed.

I’m not sure that makes Peter Chiarelli “a genius”. I’m not sure a genius would be forced it a move by a 22 year old kid with acne. It will be a long time before we can really evaluate this deal.

Do you think O Connell would have sent him to the worst team in the league?

“It will be a long time before we can really evaluate this deal.”

I absolutely agree – I’m talking like 5+ years to really be able to see how this deal turned out. By that time we’ll have actually seen how big of an impact player Kessel can actually be, and we’ll know what kind of players the draft picks turned into.

There should be a GM of the year award handed out 10 years after the fact.

Other than Hall of Fame induction, of course.
