Everyone has to do their due diligence, including Kessel, because he’s going to have to want go to the team that wants him. And, from what I gather, things aren’t far enough along to involve him yet. (Elliotte Friedman)
Phil Kessel has a limited no-trade clase and, according to The Fourth Period, is only required to submit a list of eight teams he would agree to go to.
There may be interest starting around Toronto with Phil Kessel but there isn’t anything close to happening as it seems Kessel hasn’t even been asked to submit a list of teams at this point.
