I sure hope this never happens, not a Kessel hater by any means but i don't want him anywhere near this team. For $8mil a season you need a heck of a lot more than 30ish goals a season. I hate Corey Perry and I would take him on this team in a heart beat over Kessel, has so much more to offer than 30 goals. $8Mill might be the low end of elite pay but it is still up there. For that you just need more than lazy uninspired play. The risk is just not worth it to find out whether or not he is what we think he is.
I honestly see no way this happens unless the Leafs retain salary and sell for pennies on the dollar.
