He is the literal embodiment of empty calories at this point.
I’d still take him as a rental, but not for a full season.

While I don't dispute Kessel isn't a strong defensive player, his teams over the past four years have posted these goal differentials...
ARI 2021–22: Minus–106
ARI 2020–21: Minus–23 (in 56 games)
ARI 2019–20: Plus–8
PIT 2018–19: Plus–32
So he was on one pretty good Penguins playoff team, one decent Coyotes playoff team, and two really, really awful Coyotes teams, with the latest being apocalyptically terrible.
