Agreed that Kessel might not be a league top 10 goal or point scorer by the end of the contract, but that being said, the total percentage to the team cap in 7 or 8 years will
significantly less. He'd also only be 34 or 35 which isn't 6 feet under quite yet.
I am not a Kessel fan but not to explore obtaining one of the best RWs in the game in an area that we're especially thin talent wise would not be prudent.
Is he worth what Toronto originally paid? 2 1st rounders and a 2nd? I'd say yes if the first rounders are mid level or higher.
