Phil Kessel Traded to Pittsburgh

This post is going to update like crazy as we learn more, and I'd expect details will trickle out for a little while. For now:

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) July 1, 2015
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) July 1, 2015

Currently that return is the dog's breakfast for one of the NHL's best scorers, and even worse if the Leafs are retaining salary. Let's hope this is a case of the full details not coming out, but you'd hope that one of Olli Maata or Derrick Pouliot would also be included in that deal because the Pens don't have a ton of other pieces to move and getting their firsts doesn't amount to much.
