One of these questions for the Pittsburgh Penguins is Phil Kessel’s productivity.
The Past
When Phil Kessel was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins almost three years ago, no one knew if he would actually pan out. As a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Kessel was a 20-30 goal scorer who was consistently near the top of the league’s best.
He was the Toronto Maple Leafs best player despite the team around him not knowing what direction they were heading in, but still garnered criticism from the outspoken Toronto media.
After spending six years on a team that didn’t seem like it was going anywhere, it was time for a change.
