I'd definitely bring Kessel back.

Mtl won’t waste their last retention spot for this kind of offer. Some team will offer more with no retention.

Kessel can’t skate no more.

Keep Accairi.

Agree completely. Need to look at in the context of how he compares to our current bottom 6 right now, not how he compares to how he used to play. He really wasn't that bad at all on the Knights last year

We need to trade someone to free up cap. Don't know who else it'd be. Wouldn't rule out trading anyone in bottom 6 besides Eller.

How does Phil Kessel help a PP with Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel and Karlsson? Pens have Rust, Rakkel, Letang and Smith. Why is their PP so bad right now?

He helps both the power play and our bottom 6. Our power play is awful, completely stationary, predictable passing, and no net front presence. I don't think he'd solve it, but Kessel is a good power play player. And outside the powerplay he would help our bottom 6 a ton. Barely anyone in our bottom 6 scores goals. Kessel did fine last year in Vegas if he puts up similar numbers this year he'd be a big upgrade.

The Pens PP was the best it was when Phil was with the Pens and it was actually because of his passing ability. Because of how good he was at scoring goals, people really overlooked how great he was at distributing the puck. He's a GREAT set-up guy.

As far as why it's so bad right now? They do nothing but making 7,223 passes without takings shots. They're always looking for the perfect setup rather than just getting pucks on net and trying to knock in rebounds. They all need to be more selfish and shoot.
