Who was the gm that basically laughed at the pens for trading for Kessel when they could just sign somebody like Semin instead?
That was Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos.
You'd think he'd know better after his team's experience with Semin. I mean, obviously his former GM didn't want to make that mistake a second time.

All 18 voters disclosed their ballots to TSN.ca on the condition of anonymity.Crosby captured his first Conn Smythe with nine first-place votes. Kessel finished just behind Crosby with seven first-place votes. Kris Letang earned the other two first-place votes.(Full disclosure: I was one of the 18 voters and my ballot was 1. Kessel, 2. Martin Jones, and 3. Crosby.)Kessel finished with more second-place votes (eight) than Crosby (five). The NHL uses a 5-3-1 format to calculate the votes: five points for first, three points for second, one point for third.The final point total based on that system and the information obtained by tsn.ca: Crosby 63, Kessel 60.

Chris Johnston @reporterchrisPhil Kessel has officially chosen to host his day with the Stanley Cup in Toronto next month. The city remains his second home.
