Well, trading for Kessel doesn't mean he isn't trying to build a tough team. He has insisted all this time that I have heard him talk about truculent teams that they also need skill, and that there is room for smaller skilled players. It is just that they need to be surrounded by the beef. So, I wouldn't call the Kessel trade hypocritical at all.
