Re: [TRADE] Kessel to Arizona
Steve Burtch posted some interesting information re: these two players on his twitter feed earlier. Essentially, over the last four seasons in all situations Galchenyuk and Kessel have almost identical iGF% and ixG/60. Obviously, Kessel is a better playmaker by a good margin, but Galchenyuk's shot-assist contributions looked downright impressive over the same sample.
This is an obvious downgrade for the Pens from Kessel to Galchenyuk, but there is some reasoning here and a bit of unheralded upside.
