Kessel is the only top player on that team. They don't have any top pairing defensemen, and goalies who identify as backups on top clubs.
I get that he's pretty much a one dimensional forward. (not much for defense)
But, if he were on a line with, another top centre, I don't think he'd see as much criticism.
If his caphit were a couple million less, I'd take him on the Flames. (DUCKS LOL)
(not withstanding any knowledge of him in the dressing room / easy to coach
