If it's strictly a salary dump with some 2nd or 3rd round picks, I'd do this in a heartbeat.
There are problems:

It won't be a salary dump. They will be asking for one of our top young guys (IE Mony, Gaudreau, Bennett) and a 1st...and probably then some. Unsure about Bennett as he hasn't played NHL hockey yet, but personally I consider Mony and Gaudreau to be better than Kessel at this moment. His goal production be damned, he doesn't do anything else that helps a team win games.

His salary is market RIGHT NOW. It won't be within a few years and we won't be able to trade him if it isn't.

He's just not worth it, and just not THAT good.
