Rumour: Phill the Trill could be heading back to Canada

There's a lot of pressure in Edmonton to perform in the Playoffs and bringing a proven player could pretty much help that core.
Phill Kessel is 34 and is an unrestricted free agent this upcoming summer.
If the Coyotes are willing to retain half of his $6.8M salary, the Oilers could be getting a top winger for $3.4M.
