Phil Kessel was a star for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now playing on an expiring contract, could he return to the team in the near future?
The Toronto Maple Leafs made a splash in 2009 when they mortgaged their future to acquire Phil Kessel. General Manager Brian Burke sent the Boston Bruins the Maple Leafs 2010 first-round pick (used to select Tyler Seguin), a 2011 first-rounder (turned into Dougie Hamilton), and a 2010 second-round selection (used to pick Jared Knight).
Kessel lasted six years in Toronto before being shipped to the Pittsburgh Penguins. His time was filled with goals and hot dog jokes.
