Personally, I think Kessel will look really good beside Crosby. He certainly has the offensive acumen to figure out how to get open and be ready for Crosby's passes.
But beyond that, the key for me is his speed.
Crosby is one of the fastest players in the league and creates much of his offense from his explosive acceleration. But teams simply double teamed him, and cut off his space.
If they can utilize Kessel's speed as a way to get more open ice for Crosby, look out.
