Isn't the Kessel trade complete now? Since the Pens made the playoffs, the Leafs got their 1st rounder (30th) in 2016 and the Pens get their 2nd rounder (61st overall) back from the Leafs (aquired last year in the Daniel Winnik trade).
The 2017 2nd round pick only went into affect if the Pens missed the playoffs this year and made it next year.
