meh... he was a miss fit in Boston from the get go, that's why they got rid of him.
That said I always thought he just needed the right situation to excel.
I was royally PO'd when Burke brought him in.
Completely the wrong type of player for a team supposedly in rebuild mode.
Kessel is a finisher to be added the way Pens did for that push over the top.
Truth of the matter is that Kessel coming to Toronto from Boston was all about Burke's ego.
I was really happy to see how it worked out for him and Pens this year.
