Lets not forget what Kessel had accomplished previous to last year, and is likely to repeat.

lol - exactly what I was referring to above.
It clearly hasn't occurred to you, but the flip-side of the 'he had Bozak as a C' argument is that he also got cart blanche to play nothing but pure offense. He also got 1st line PP duty all season.
The weak C argument is vastly overdone - he was given as big of a green light offensively as is possible.
On a real team that actually tries to WIN games, there is also a thing called defensive responsibility
