How The '09 Kessel Trade Helped The Leafs Acquire Frederik Andersen 7-Years Later | NHL Trade Trees

the Leafs have Jake Muzzin thanks to Phil Kessel. Yes, today's swap tree video is huge. We're going to see the Boston Bruins trading Phil Kessel to the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Leafs trading Phil Kessel to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Let's see how the Bruins did it, the Leafs, the Penguins, in some ways, how the Anaheim Ducks did it and yes, there's a little detail there that led to the Leafs landing Jake Muzzin without further delay. May I introduce you to the intern's excellent work? Tom Tom, can you show them that little thing you made? Yeah, how long did this take somewhere between forever and forever?

Right, holy cow, watching this in one sitting makes no sense and frankly makes me nauseous, so let's start from where it started. With Toronto and Boston making a deal, the initial

trade

was for Phil Kessel to go from the Boston Bruins to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a 2010 first-round pick, a 2010 second-round pick, and a 2010 first-round pick. 2011, a lot that only fans donate. I don't remember that deal very fondly and that's because the Leafs gave up a lot of things and it's a reminder that my current coworker Brian Burke is the one who made that

trade

since he was the GM of the Leafs at the time, but I do have a theory as to why Brian Burt made that trade the Leafs stunk the team there was no one even close to having star power on the team in Phil Kessel brought star power he actually had as much star power as star power in the creative power being the fifth overall pick in 2006 Phil Kessel in his third full season in the NHL in 70 games scored 36 goals and 60 points and Jeremy Jacobs and the Boston Bruins didn't feel like paying him more, so Brian Burke said he liked it and it was taken well, there was not at all That's how simple it was to talk about an offer sheet, the Leafs didn't have all the picks and then they made trades to get some of their picks back so they could make the threat of an offer sheet the exchange that they finally agreed upon.

It was first in a second, it's all magic beans, what are the chances of any of those guys becoming as good a player as Phil Kessel? Well, if the Leafs are really bad and they're both pretty good lottery picks, here's what happens with Phil Kassel. Kessel missed the first 12 games of the 2009-2010 season recovering from shoulder surgery during his first game as a Toronto Maple Eve on home ice. Matthias Olin destroys it with a giant hit in open ice, however, Phil Kessel stayed in the game and stayed in every game as he has not missed a single regular season game since 2009 eleven

years

ago in those 70 games who played in his first year as a Leaf scored 30 goals and 25 assists for 55 points coming after shoulder surgery and yes, those 55 points led the team, as did the 30 goals.

The problem is that the guy was on an island. Those 30 goals were the best for the Leafs. Second on the Leafs was Nicolas Hagman with 20 castles. 55 points were the highest. The Leafs also had Thomas Cabriolet second with 49, but the Leafs' second-highest scoring forward edged out Spana Karofsky with just 41. With Phil Kessel still recovering from shoulder surgery, the Leafs finished 7 and 1 to start the season. and they were well on their way to being one of the worst teams in the league, it's pretty funny, that's what ended up happening. They finished second to last in the entire National Hockey League at 29th out of 30 and that 2010 first-round pick the Leafs gave to Boston finished second overall. the big draft of Taylor versus Tyler Taylor Hall versus Tyler Seguin, who will go first?

Well, it was Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin was second for the Boston Bruins. Looking back, in hindsight you could argue that he should have gone first and gone back to Tyler second in a second, the second round pick the Leafs gave to the Bruins in that trade turned out to be Jared Knight, it didn't really work out, it was traded for former first rounder Zach Phillips Phillips didn't really work out, he was traded to the Blues for future considerations now the Bruins still have the Leafs first round pick from 2011 and the Leafs weren't much better, that pick ended up in 9th place in general.

Now I'll tell you a real quick story on draft day in 2011. I was at a giant sports bar in Toronto called Real Sports working for a different station covering the draft on walks Tyler and then dropping off prospect Jesse Blacker and myself I had interviewed them both so we said hello, now it should be mentioned that Tyler looked very tired considering he had just won the Stanley Cup with the Boston Bruins as a rookie in the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Did I mention that tree turned out pretty good for Boston and it wasn't even finished? Secondly, he politely asked me, who are you?

I want the Leafs to be drafted and I said, well, I know it's a long shot, but there's a defenseman named Dougie Hamilton that I really like. He then went to sit down with his friend and with the ninth overall pick, the Boston Bruins selected Dougie Hamilton in a deep discussion. In a state of depression I put my head in my arms on the table and that's when I felt a tap on my shoulder and when I looked up it was Tyler Seguin smiling widely, he looked me in the eyes and said Thank you Kessel and then he walked away. so for everyone still tweeting me, stand up to me because I'm rooting for a team that lost to a 42 year old Zamboni driver who worked for them.

That time was worse in the summer of 2009, the Leafs needed a star and when they made this trade, they knew they would get one, however, they gave up two to get it and one of those stars was on the Bruins when they won the Cup in 2011, not to mention the Leafs also gave the Bruins Thomas Koberlein for that cup run now. It's worth mentioning that the Boston Bruins traded both Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton. I don't think they did very well in the exchanges. A lot of people don't think they did very well in the trades, but this is also worth mentioning before Dougie Hamilton. was traded, played one hundred and seventy-eight games for the Boston Bruins, that's nothing before Tyler Seguin was traded, played two hundred and three games as a Boston Bruin and won a Stanley Cup, that's nothing either, even though the trade sent those two players. out of town dressed so well, the Bruins still got around 400 service games from two players now quickly here are the trades that sent them out of ten Tyler Seguin was traded to the Dallas Stars along with Rich Peverley and Ryan Button in return by Riley Smith Loui Eriksson, Joe Mauro and Matt Fraser, is a great example that if you give up your best player in a trade, you will lose.

Loui Eriksson spent three seasons as a Bruin and was a disappointment, as he was widely considered one of the most underrated players in the National Hockey League as a member of the Dallas Stars with the Bruins, he was unable to recapture that until his third and final season. as a Bruin, when he scored 30 goals on 60+ points and used that production to sign a giant contract with the Vancouver Canucks who has since, well, I'm sure you've heard he still hasn't reached 30 points as a Canuck and honestly I don't think I'm going to do it. Riley Smith wasn't bad, but he did it.

Not quite broken into the player we know him as today, he was packaged along with Mark Sabarte's contract and sent to the Florida Panthers in exchange for former Leafs second-rounder Jimmy Hayes, the Panthers then sent Riley Smith along with Johnathan March to Las Vegas in what is now known as a pretty terrible trade variety Smith Loui Eriksson Joe tomorrow Matt Fraser none of them with the impact Tyler Seguin has had on the Dallas Stars the dougie Hamilton one is a bit different dougie hamilton was traded to the calgary flames in exchange for in the first round in 2015 and in the second round in 2015, those three players became zachary sena shin jakob firs in carlson and jeremy lows.

All three played in the NHL for the Boston Bruins, but their combined total games were played in the NHL. for Boston it's less than a hundred games, that's not exactly a great value for Dougie Hamilton, but it should be mentioned that they are all 23, actually Lausanne, I think he's not even 23, but he's still 22 now on the other end, is he? as was? Phil Kessel as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs is up in the air, it depends on who you ask, he is not the best defensive player considered a bit annoying, but he played 446 games and scored 394 points, one hundred and eighty-one of them goals . a team that was bad and bad good whose fault it is that they only made the playoffs once but it was fun until it wasn't, then the new era begins in Toronto.

Shanahan is there, Babcock and Lula Morello were also there and they decided, "okay we." We will burn him to ashes, get rid of any player of any value and get futures in return, hence Phil Kessel was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. This was the deal the Pittsburgh Penguins received. Phil Kessel, obvious li + defense tim. erickson tyler biggs remembers that guy and a second-round pick in 2016 in exchange for a tip, the Leafs received former first-round captain Caspari, still a prospect at the time, a third-round pick in 2016, defenseman scott harrington, the falling forward and a first-round pick in 2016 to save me the suspense, the third-round pick in 2016 that the Leafs got in that deal was used on JD Green Way, they got the wrong Green Way, not really it worked.

Jordan Green Way is doing very well. Minnesota Wild Scott Harrington had an injury in the Toronto Maple East market, a bit unfortunate, he was traded to Columbus for former first-round pick Kirby Rykel, who was then packaged with Rijn in Valley of any second-round pick in 2018 for That the Leafs could have Thomas start cannons at the 2018 trade deadline, where they lost to Boston again. Now the next part is strange. You will have to pay attention. We'll start with the 2016 first-rounder the Penguins gave to the Leafs in this trade. see the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Phil Kessel won the Stanley Cup in 2016, making Phil Kessel a Stanley Cup champion and therefore making that first round pick 30th overall, the Leafs They traded that 2016 first-round pick to the Anaheim Ducks along with a second from 2017.

Rounder for Frederick Anderson now I don't know about you, but I was really worried about this trade at the time because the Leafs traded a bunch of futures by a former backup for a California team who had an expiring contract and the last two times the Leafs had tried that word Jonathan Bernier with the LA Kings and VESA Tuscola with the San Jose Sharks, you want to tell me how they were, how it went, If they were good, no, Steve, just tell me who the Ducks will take with those picks. be bad, well, yeah, some sort of 2016 first-round pick the Leafs gave to the Ducks in exchange for Frederick Anderson became Sam Steele, who hasn't stood out in the NHL yet, but already has a hat- trick in his career.

What about the second round? Well, it's actually tied to another part of that exchange. Remember the Knicks forward went down. Yes, Darius, he was sent along with defenseman Roman Paul to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Raffi Torres. Well basically Raffi Torres has a 2017 second round contract and a 2018 second rounder that's how those two trades connect the 2017 second rounder the Leafs gave the Ducks in the Frederick Andersen trade is the one they got from the San Jose Sharks for Roland Pollock and nicks ball and that second round pick became another player who played in the NHL for the Anaheim Ducks, Maxime Comte Wong, who was actually the captain of Canada's world junior team, for which, in exchange for Frederick Anderson, the Ducks got Sam Steele and Maxime Comte wah and still have John Gibson and net not.

Bad Steve, you kept mentioning Jake Muzzin from the beginning, what were you talking about? Let me tell you with the 2018 second round pick the Leafs got from the San Jose Sharks and traded for Roman Pollock and Nyx, the defenseman selected by the Leafs, sean dersy. The Leafs then traded Dersy along with forward prospect Carl Run Strim and a second-round pick to the LA Kings in exchange for Jake Muzzin. Now I'm going to throw a little asterisk over that. I'm going to pretend that trade is like the Houston Astros. I said it, they cheated, close, stop, they cheated, that's another sport we're not playing right now, just listen, stop.

I'm almost done. The reason I say the Phil Castle trade didn't lead to the Jake Muzzin trade is because Nick Spalling wasn't the main piece of the deal for the Sharks, it was Raman, he's the one who had most of the value in that trade . the Sharks that year, yes, and they had an assist, although it's worth mentioning another Phil Kessel trade in which the Leafs

helped

a team reach the Stanley Cup Final,so if you watch the last trade tree video where I talked about Chris Pronger coming from the Edmonton Oilers. for the Anaheim Ducks it's not like a third round pick allowed the Oilers to get Oscar Clapp for long, he was part of the deal but not the main part of the deal in the same way that Nick Spalling was part of the deal that got the Leafs. to second round picks here from San Jose, but he wasn't the main part of the deal as for Caspari cap'n and how I haven't talked about him yet, he already played in 202 career NHL games for the Leafs, nothing bad for a He's 23

years

old and scored 90 points, yes they had to suspend him for some antics but he already has a 20 goal season under his belt, he's a key penalty killer for the team and he's one of the fastest players in the league.

It's a lot of fun to watch and trade that first-round pick in the Frederik Andersen deal. Can you imagine what the Leafs would have been like if they didn't have Fredrik Andersen the last four seasons, they would have just been tying Curtis Makela? near the crossbar like there ain't no house, now folks, we've spent enough time on this trade tree, so let's take a bow at the castles tenure in Pittsburgh started out a little big, barely made the playoffs and then they fired their coach and then they brought in Mike Sullivan and quickly won two Stanley Cups.

Phil Kessel scored 303 points in 328 regular season games as a Penguin, scored 56 points 20 of them goals in 65 playoff games as a Penguin 22 points in 24 games the first season the Penguins won the Cup and 23 points in 25 games the second season the Penguins won the Cup he was an integral part of that team and in his best regular season as a Pittsburgh Penguin with 34 goals and 92 points Phil Kessel was always a criminally underrated playmaker the Penguins didn't even win the cup that year the guy then scored 82 points in 82 games with the Penguins and then got traded to Arizona where it hasn't been so sunny, but man he was a monster of a penguin, the Pens traded Kessel to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Pierre Oliver Joseph and Alex Galchenyuk.

Now you want to talk about Phil Kessel not having success in Arizona like Galchenyuk. He didn't in Pittsburgh either, but then Galchenyuk was packaged with prospect Kaylin Addison and a first-round pick in 2020 and sent to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Jason Zucker. Do you want to talk about people who have caused the delay in this NHL season? Jason Zucker got hurt the most Jason Zucker scored six goals and 12 points in 15 games with the Penguins, he was playing with Sidney Crosby, that guy should be in Halifax right now standing outside Sydney Crosby's house with a stereo, so, What's the lesson here if you look at the first two trades from Kessel to Toronto and then Kessel to Pittsburgh.

I think I can tell you that Phil Kessel is not necessarily a player that an entire team is built around, however, that doesn't mean Phil Kessel isn't or hasn't been an incredible player for the Leafs. It seems like Phil Kessel was a cornerstone and maybe they were a little better than they were and they weren't and he wasn't. The Penguins thought, hey, we already have Sidney Crosby in the Afghan Amel Caen and they're pretty sick. He had Phil Kessel on it and he was laughing all the way to back-to-back Cups and they did it, so it's funny that the Leafs are in the middle of this little Philip Kessel commercial sandwich with two teams wearing black and yellow and a Cup Stanley and there's them, you know, they're just on the lease, so uh, that was long, what did you think?
