Anyone watch Kessel's press scrum? Does anyone here really believe the Leafs can win a Stanley Cup if he's one of our "leaders" and best player?
He seems like pretty much the last person I would want younger players on my team to personify. Doesn't talk hockey in the off-season. Doesn't play hockey in the off-season. Judging from pictures, he's not the most in-shape hockey player in the league. Pretty terrible in the media. Plays soft and is not defensively responsible...
But he scores goals, but is that enough? He's tied to a large contract, for a long period of time.
If I were the Leafs I would deal him the second I received a pretty decent offer.
People used to say similar things about Steve Yzerman.
