Will the real Phil Kessel show up or will the one who appears to really not care that much show up? He's truly an enigma, much like Alex Kovalev if you ask me.

Two first rounders and more draft picks, regardless of a poor draft class is still a steep price for someone who appears to indicate the need of a strong performer to play along side with him in order to succeed.

The team has absolutely been revitalized over the past two seasons, and Kessel essentially saying "Screw you, pay me." after just one good regular season hits a nerve with many B's diehards. At least that's my belief.

A lot of that may have to do with being a longtime leafs fan who has seen too much go the other way in trades too many times.

And not because I'm a Leafs fan either. Savard or not, Kessel was a top5 pick for a reason, and at 22 years old, putting up 36 goals is a good indication that he's developing right on track. He may be one-dimensional, but for a team who has the parts to insulate a player of his style, and the Leafs do, it's not much of an issue considering that is a pressing need of theirs. I'm not saying Kessel is a superstar, but he certainly deserves credit for what he has accomplished at the NHL level thus far. Passionate blog, but I disagree.

Kessel may be a pain in the ass, but he deserves more than the Bruins offered him.
