Kessel Reportedly Choosing Between Two Teams in Final Negotiations
While Phil Kessel is undoubtedly a future hall-of-famer, the veteran winger remains without a contract while the NHL season is well underway. Kessel has been in negotiations the entire offseason and has even stated he is willing to give up his Iron Man streak in order to sign a contract.
Now, it appears Kessel is close to getting a deal done, and is reportedly in the middle of negotiations with two serious contenders, according to NHL insider David Pagnotta.
My understanding is Kessel is healthy and ready to join a team as soon as a deal can be ironed out. Unfortunately, for him, he has to play the waiting game.
