I don’t want to trade for Kessel either, but this narrative that he can’t stay fit isn’t fair at all. It’s nothing more than made up drama from his time in Toronto. Teammates rave about Kessel’s strength and ability in the gym. He’s slowing down because he’s approaching 35. Happens to most players. Despite that he still has 29 points in 45 games on the worst team in the league.
