NHL insider Chris Johnston hinted at the possibility, sparking anticipation among fans. However, as the deadline passed, Kessel remained unsigned despite training with the Canucks' AHL affiliate.
Not trade related, but it sounds like things remain on track for Phil Kessel to sign with the #canucks before tomorrow's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline.
