Im truly curious what you think that his value would be. Knowing his deficiencies, that he has 56 million dollars still owed after this year, and that he isnt even a ppg player in his Leaf career (never mind his +/- totals)....I would really like to be informed what that return would be.

here are 3 random teams...what would the deal look like with each?

Washington, Dallas, Winnipeg
Funny how you bring up this worthless stat. He's top 5 in NHL points the last 4 years. But you bring that up. That stat includes his non-prime years when he played with Joey Crabb and yet still got over 30 goals and over 60 points.

Kessel is going nowhere without at least a first rounder and top prospect. He's in his prime, completely healthy, can score playing with anyone, and is a top offensive star.
