Frankly, next year's first is worth more to us, by a long shot.
Just because the Toronto media has forgotten this fact doesn't mean we should: The Flames only just finished year two of our rebuild. We aren't at the point of adding complimentary, even if deeply flawed, players to fill a position of need before going on a big run.
Phil Kessel is a waste of money and a waste of prime assets. And he is the very type of player that can drag a young team down in the depths. A lazy player who will play his game and his game only, damned be the team's needs. Kessel is capable of singlehandedly undermining everything Hartley has built in the last two years. Even at 30g 70pts, he's not worth it.
