The day I found out about the Phil Kessel trade - back when I didn't even really know that much about hockey - was when I was with my then girlfriend at Disney. We found out her step-sister was pregnant and that Phil Kessel was a Penguin the same day and she said "Disney really is the most magical place on earth!"
Kessel's been the sort of player, and brought the sort of success, that we dream of. Regardless of how this ended, nobody can or should try to take that away from him.
Good luck Phil and thank you.
