CoteauRinkRat Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Kessel to play on the 1st or 2nd line? Is Boston that thin offensively? He is a good player, but when I read 1st line, I couldn't really believe it. It takes any kids who make that jump a while to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey be careful, you are not allowed to discuss the mentioned topic..........I read the same article and chuckled to myself.....he will need time playing in the NHL before he is a steady first line player.

He is a good player, but when I read 1st line, I couldn't really believe it. It takes any kids who make that jump a while to adjust. In all seriousness, I reallly think Boston should think this thru. They threw Joe Thornton into the fire and crucified him when that didn't pan out in a positive way for him OR the Bruins. Immediate captaincy and monster expectations were too much for Joe. They shipped him off to San Jose where he is thriving. Given Phil's personality, or what I hear about it, it certainly sounds he isn't the type of kid who should be thrust into the role previously occupied by Thornton.

It sounds as if the Bruins will give Kessel every opportunity to prove himself. Maybe that's exactly what he needs. On the other hand, I could see it backfiring, too. Time will tell.

That is why I think he will be just fine....the Bruins are going to give him so much time and opportunity, because he is such a high draft pick and so highly touted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
