A Former Bruin Might Be Making A Return 13 Years Later
Phil Kessel may not possess the same prolific scoring prowess he once had, but even at 34 years old, he continues to produce impressive numbers.
In the current season, spanning 50 games, Kessel has tallied six goals and contributed 27 assists for the struggling Arizona Coyotes.
As Kessel's contract approaches its expiration, numerous teams have expressed interest in signing the seasoned veteran. However, for the Coyotes to receive something valuable in return, a trade must be executed promptly. This is where the Boston Bruins enter the picture.
The Bruins find themselves in need of additional depth wingers if they aim to contend for the coveted Stanley Cup this year. Adding Phil Kessel to their roster would undoubtedly prove advantageous. Notably, according to the insights provided by David Pagnotta, Arizona is willing to part ways with Kessel, potentially even retaining half of his salary cap impact.
Among the potential trade partners mentioned by Pagnotta, the Boston Bruins stand out, evoking a sense of excitement. It was, after all, the Bruins who initially drafted Kessel back in 2006.
It has been 13 long years since Kessel last suited up for the Bruins. Since then, he has captured two Stanley Cups, both achieved during his time with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Now, with his sights set on a third championship, the Boston Bruins could very well serve as the ideal team to assist him in this pursuit.
