Kessel has played for many teams over his career as he notched 1,064 consecutive regular season games, and after playing for the Vegas Golden Knights a season ago, he's on the verge of joining a new team.
While we don't yet know the identity of this new team, TSN Insider Chris Johnston has revealed that his return could be imminent, with many teams interest in the veteran goal scorer.
Despite his age, Kessel has still been an effective player in recent years, tallying 14 goals and 36 points a season ago, and if he can continue at that level, he'd be a perfect bottom-six player for many teams around the league.
Ultimately, Kessel is one of the league's most beloved players, and with plenty left in the tank, it appears he's going to get another shot, and will be a welcome sight for many hockey fans around the world.
