Kessel JUST put up 20 goals on the most pathetic offense in the league. He’s signed for just one more season. I wouldn’t worry about downswing. I think the chances of him putting up fewer than 55-60pts in that single season he’d spend as a Cat are about zero.The Panthers wouldn't want Kessel even if it means getting rid off Yandle's contract in the process. They'd be just introducing another incompatible player who's on a downswing of his career.
Yandle with no retention + 4th for Duclair + Luostarinen + 1st.
True. A lot happened. Tough to pinpoint which factor it was. Will be interested to see if he can rebound elsewhere.OEL has went from arguably top 5 defenceman in the world, to not even top 40.
Very quick decline.
