The fitness thing is fine, it's been publicised all too well. And yet he still scores like no other in the last 5 years. and injuries? Nada. There's something to be said for that too.
It seems like you and couple of others are painting Kessel with a brush he does not deserve to be painted with. He's snapped off at the media because they're idiots out there and I applaud him for that. Sticks up for even the worst of his team mates (phaneuf) . I suppose that could be considered unprofessional. It is Phaneuf after all.
The point is, Kessel here in CGY would not be left in the open to the media and would not be a leadership core guy. for 8 million a year you'd hope he could be but with Gio, Monahan, Hudler, Wideman and Russel, he doesn't need to be.

For $3M less, Iggy will be better than Kessel in every which way you dice it. Leafs buys out the full remaining contract for Kessel and Flames get him for nothing - that'll be excellente!
