Today a new rumor has sparked major hype for a potential signing of Phil Kessel shortly.
Kessel To Replace Perry As Bedard's Mentor?
Today a new report by an anonymous source has indicated that Phil Kessel could find a new home in Chicago in the coming weeks.
Mark my words, he will be a Chicago Blackhawk shortly..
-
This rumor has been sparked due to the termination of Corey Perry's contract and the injury to Taylor Hall. The Blackhawks are missing a scoring punch as well as a veteran presence up front. Kessel's 1,286 games played, 413 goals, and 992 points as well as his 1,064 consecutive games played streak would be a fantastic mentor to add.
This signing would allow the Blackhawks to fill a big hole in the lineup. With the Blackhawks out of contention for the playoffs most likely they could give Kessel what he is probably hoping for and continue his games-played streak. This could be a fantastic match for both sides if it does end up happening.
