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.

No way in hell will anyone give a top prospect(Bennett, Mony, Gaudreau) and a first for a player with Kessels contract. That's how people get fired.
Wouldn't be surprised if a 1st and Baertschi will be as good an offer as whoever "wins" him.
