Phil Kessel’s time with the Pittsburgh Penguins is coming to an end. According to national media reports it looks like the Pens and Arizona Coyotes are talking trade and might be close to finalizing it:
We all have known for a while that the Pens have been trying to move on from Kessel. They almost had a deal to acquire Jason Zucker from Minnesota for him, but Kessel blocked taht with his no trade clause.
Kessel is said to be sweet on Arizona due to his relationship with their current head coach and former Pens’ assistant Rick Tocchet.
