This piece is a rebuttal to Sam Golub’s article, which took the position on why the Cats should acquire Kessel’s services. While ‘Phil the thrill’ would be a catch down in Sunrise, Florida, there are reasons why the Panthers should look elsewhere.
To start, and to also remind everyone, the Florida Panthers have not been officially linked to Phil Kessel. There’s a greater chance that Phil remains in Pittsburgh, or better yet, goes to another organization.
As great as Phil Kessel is, he’s just too costly for the Panthers at this point.
