Boston were also a much better team without him. You can't argue with the results post trade.

Not true. The last year they had Kessel they were 2nd overall in GF in the NHL. The next season, they were dead last in GF. They did miss him.
The big difference is the cup. But they would have won that with Kessel. Tim Thomas was by far the #1 reason they won it.
