Firstly, I know Columbus wasn't on Kessel's eight team list, however, Columbus is an up and coming team with an extremely passionate fanbase. Shanahan convinced Babcock to come to one of the worst organizations in the NHL, so I'm sure he has the ability to convince Kessel to go to a great franchise like Columbus.
Next: "and will not give up that return for Kessel, especially considering they are a grinding team." Yeah because the 168 pound Oliver Bjorkstrand is going to play a grinding style. Give me a break.
Also, Gaborik struggled because of injury issues and he's not the same player he once was. In 2012-13 he only played 12 games but scored 8 points which is not that bad. In 2013-14 he only played 22 games for them the whole year and had 14 points which isn't bad considering he was in and out of the lineup so much.
Columbus also has guys like Cam Atkinson and Marko Dano that don't played a grinding game either, so I'm sure an elite talent like Kessel can thrive in their system.
