NHL Trade Rumor: Phil Kessel to Arizona Coyotes
According to TSN’s Frank Seravalli, the Penguins are highly seeking to trade the 31-year old Kessel and Arizona are apparently takers. Seravalli continued by stating that both Evgeni Malkin and Kessel aren’t seeing eye-to-eye. He also added that head coach Mike Sullivan is growing tired of Kessel’s antics (though he didn’t state which ones.)
Potential targets Pittsburgh is looking at are 28-year old Richard Panik, who just finished his 2-year, $5.6 million contract. The other target is 22-year old Christian Fischer. Fischer still has a year left on his entry level contract. The final target is Arizona’s 14th overall pick in this year’s draft.
It was revealed last month that the Pittsburgh Penguins want a new look next season, and will be willing to trade franchise players to get that “new look.”
Could we see Kessel in the desert next campaign?
