Two Teams Emerge as Likely Destinations for Phil Kessel
As the season's kickoff approaches, teams are trimming their rosters and identifying their needs.
Several teams might be looking to make last-minute additions, and there's a notable free agent who generates interest on the market.
Will Kessel Sign an NHL Deal for the Upcoming Season?
Despite winning his third Stanley Cup recently with the Golden Knights, Phil Kessel remains unsigned for the forthcoming season.
That might change in the near future.
Given Kessel's talent, it's plausible he'll get several offers before the season starts.
It wouldn't be surprising to see teams like the Calgary Flames or the St. Louis Blues seeking his services.
Two Teams Emerge as Contenders for Kessel
There's no denying Kessel's value on the ice. Here's how he might fit in with the Flames and the Blues:
Kessel with the Flames:
The Flames witnessed the departure of key players this offseason, notably Tyler Toffoli and Milan Lucic. With their roster's depth compromised, Kessel could be a significant addition. Moreover, with Jakob Pelletier's extended injury, Craig Conroy might be compelled to make another acquisition.
Kessel with the Blues:
A boost in offense is what the Blues could benefit from, especially within their bottom-six.
Hoping to secure a playoff spot this year and considering their current offensive struggles, bringing in Kessel might very well help them achieve their goals.
