No, Toronto is retaining for the remainder of his contract regardless of where he ends up no matter what.
If Pittsburgh retained, the next team would simply be unable to retain any more salary in the trade to the next team.
So, Pittsburgh retains and trades him to Calgary. Now Toronto and Pittsburgh retain salary/cap while Kessel is with Calgary. If he is traded from Calgary to Edmonton, Toronto and Pittsburgh still retain and Calgary has nothing on the books.
