The Flames may be asking about Phil Kessel... or they may not. Hey, it's a busy time of year. One thing that's certain, though, is he'll cost a lot to get.
The need is established: the Calgary Flames are lacking on the right hand side, and Phil Kessel is an elite right winger. The connection is readily apparent: Brian Burke originally got Kessel to Toronto, and he's now in Calgary.
That leaves just two questions:
- Would Kessel come to Calgary?
- What would it take to get him?
