I would be happy with either Kessel or Rodrigues. The more I read about Rodrigues (good play driver and puck carrier) the more I like him and think he fits the makeup of the team better, I'm just worried that he is coming off a career year at 29 and will ask for more money or term than I would like. I'm not sure what Sutter would think of Kessel - maybe he would like him because he's a winner, but I'm not sure how receptive Kessel would be to someone like Sutter pushing him.

Rodrigues wearing #71 like Hall would be fitting
Also enjoyed reading this Athletic article on Rodrigues from January.
