    Rick Tocchet and Phil Kessel seem to have a great relationship too!! This could be a very nice move for Phil the Thrill!!

    The more I think about it, it's probably a good move for everyone including the Penguins. It just wasn't a good situation anymore, and both parties were looking for solutions elsewhere. It happens. Rutherford could've done a lot worse than Galchenyuk + P.O. Joseph, but I definitely would've preferred a Zucker deal -- while dumping the Jack Johnson contract, to boot.

    I think Phil might have a bit of an adjustment period, but the Coyotes play a style in which he should fit very well, and he's going to get access to all the best linemates.

    Schmaltz has a career 37.8 FOW%. Wouldn't surprise me if Kessel and Keller play with Stepan instead at 5 on 5 and Schmaltz plays on the second line as winger.
