No More Excuses #MarnerOut
I could see him taking league minimum for 1 year in Vancouver to play for Tocchet again.
Speculation: End of the road for Phil Kessel?
- Thread starter ForsbergForever
- Start date
If he wants to play one more season , sign a PTO (preseason split squad vet) to prove he has enough left in the tank.

Honestly he would have been a great stop gap in NJ. He can still move pretty good and we could use another scoring winger in our top 9 (unless Holtz surprises, not holding my breath).
I think he knows that the ironman steak is over one way or another. However I also think that he wants those eight points too. An inexpensive contract with AZ, Anaheim, or SJ should easily take care of it by the trade deadline & then he might be worth a mid-late round pick to a team in contention just for the playoffs/Cup experience he'd bring.

992 career points. I don't see him retiring that close to 1,000 points if there's any opportunity for him to play.

Hasn't the Iron Man streak been over?
See him back in Arizona personally but not an every game player

dont see a rebuilding team take him for kicks and giggles, they would rather give icetime to young guy to develop. for any contender he is such a defensive liabilty (he was -7 (I know its team stat) on the cup winners). his role is limited to PP2.

Did you just make this shit up? Unless you're his personal chef, you don't know what his diet is and throughout his NHL career he has been an incredibly powerful guy. His cancer medication is the reason for the bloated look.

Lol, are you new to the NHL? The guy is notorious for avoiding the gym and having a terrible diet.
You can google this yourself - there are tons of stories to this effect.
He's got great genetics from his athlete parents but his fitness routine has always been the stuff of ridicule for a reason.

Nice guy, tries hard, loves the game.
No it's still active and as far as I know, will still continue even if he signs mid-season.
No, it was and is a regular season streak and PK played through the last game of the season with Vegas, but then sat out the playoffs entirely.

He just won the cup. That would be going out on top. I think he'll find a way to play one more year and get the 1k.
He should sign with Arizona or Chicago. He could play every night and mentor younger guys while continuing his record

I would have time for Phil in Edmonton. Our right side is relatively weak. I think at this stage of his career, Kessel is probably waiting to see if any teams/locations he wants to play in make him an offer. I expect he only signs in Canada if he doesn't get offers from American teams.
With the way the Bruins roster looks right now Kessel returning could end up being a significant upgrade.

He could play on a line with Looch, might as well get the boys back together to remember the good ol' days...
