When the Arizona Coyotes traded Alex Galchenyuk to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Phil Kessel many fans assumed the team was trying to add to their goal scoring ability as a team. While that is not wrong, adding a player like Phil Kessel brings more to the team than just goals.
Phil Kessel is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion. Out of every forward in the Coyotes locker room, he has the most experience to help the team succeed. Kessel also adds to the power play for the ‘Yotes. In each of the last two seasons, he netted twelve power-play goals a season.
