As for one of the best 96's on the planet (which he is) the Flames would be getting back a pretty good 94 dman, an eccentric 90 dman and an elite 87 goalscorer. It is not like it would be a throwing the rebuild trade in the dumpster trade when you are getting a 21 year old dman, a 25 year old dman and a 28 year old forward back for a 19 year old forward.

I'm just not sold on Phil Kessel.
Sorry, but he sounds like he just isnt a team player and knowing how much emphasis the management puts on character I think Kessel fails the character test.
Whereas Bennet seems to pass the character test with flying colours.
It doesnt matter how good they are they have to fit in the team.
