Calgary needs strong possession players and defensively responsible first pass defensemen. That's not what Kessel is. The flames scored plenty of goals this year, but they didn't own the puck enough. Kessel couldn't do it on Toronto and won't here either

Yeah, I don't see him being a good fit in Calgary either. I could see him going to Nashville or maybe the Rangers if the Leafs took some contracts back like maybe Nash since there are rumours they aren't happy with his playoffs.
