I find Kessel needs to work on his passing a bit more. THe guy is one of the best pure goal scorers around with exciting stickhandling moves but though he knows where his guys are on the ice, I find he sometimes has trouble getting the puck to them, unless it is a wide open pass. The other down fall with Kessel I find is that he hesitates too much with the puck, he is looking to shoot 1st that is a given when you can score like him, but when his shot is taken from him he seems to now think on the ice and it causes him to hold onto the puck too long in traffic as he is looking around and then he (well I found) fans on some passes or doesn't put enough on them when getting it to the guy.
These problems are very easily fixed on the ice, and I am not taking away from his talents as he is super talented, just pointing out some faults he needs to work on.
