The case against trading for Phil Kessel
The NHL Trade Deadline is inching closer and there’s plenty of talk about the Boston Bruins bringing back Phil Kessel.
In terms of a story, it would be a great move. Imagine if over a decade later, Kessel returns to the B’s and is able to finish his career by winning a Stanley Cup with the franchise that drafted him fifth overall back in 2006?
It’s hard to think of a better way for Kessel’s career to end (should he decide to hang ‘em up after this season, which isn’t a guarantee).
This season, Kessel has currently racked up six goals and 27 assists in 54 games this season. [ed. note: as of Friday AM, 3/4].
