Both dynamic offensive guys, small and soft, but game breakers.
Patrick Kane can't possibly be described as being defensively responsible.
Maybe the problem for the Leafs isn't that they have Kessel, but rather that they don't have a Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Patrick Sharp, or Marian Hossa.

There's a grand Canyon size difference between Kane and Kessel defensively. They both torn the puck over because of their style, that's expected. The difference is Kane comes back to get it.
Score all the points you want, you're not a good team if one of your on ice leaders is above the team and won't help out in the areas that are less fun. That's how a team works.
