The Phil Kessel trade talks are about to ramp up.
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, a handful of teams have inquired with the Toronto Maple Leafs regarding their asking price for Kessel.
The future of the Maple Leafs star forward was a popular topic among NHL executives at this weekend’s NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo, but Friedman reported that if a trade was going to be consummated, it would not happen for at least a couple of weeks.
Kessel is expected to be on the trading block this summer as the Maple Leafs could be active in order to get younger and stockpile draft picks and prospects as part of their rebuilding process.
The 27-year-old American has seven years remaining on his contract that carries a salary cap hit of $8 million per season.
Kessel, who has exceeded the 30-goal mark in four of the last six seasons, registered 25 goals, 36 assists with a minus-34 rating in 82 games for Toronto this past season.
He has spent the last six years with the Maple Leafs, only making one post-season appearance after the club paid a steep price to acquire him in a 2009 trade with the Boston Bruins.

Wasn't there a rumor one time about the Panthers being interested in Kessel? Even if there's nothing to it, they would have the cap space to make it happen. The Panthers could probably offer something to the Leafs that would make them younger, which would be part of the Shanaplan.

I could just see that(well I actually wouldn't want to see that....yeck) " The Wang Bang Finale". Nice intro to Brooklyn too. The JT/Kessel duel would be scary!!!
NJD.....hmmmm. When are they going to rebuild themselves? Scenarios? 6th overall plus?
I'd probably prefer the Avs pkg much better young talent and a solid 1st rdr. I'd think they'd have to take salary back though, as Avs will probably have Cap issues in the future.

6th ov alone should do it - maybe leafs take back a bad contract from devils (if one exists)to offset the 5 m bonus phil receives in july ?
