He scored 25 last season......so, no.

Listen, he's a good player that can score. No denying that. But he's not a one of a kind player in the league. There are other players that can score as much or more than he can (40 players last year, to be exact). And most of those players don't have the awful contract Kessel does. If he gets traded he'll bring back a decent return, but teams aren't going to give the Leafs the world for him.
