Insider Drops a Bombshell on Phil Kessel's Future in the NHL

This NHL insider just dropped a bombshell on Phil Kessel's potential future in the NHL, and if he will be playing in the league this season.

Phil Kessel, a reigning Stanley Cup Champion, remains unsigned this season, which is now well underway. As teams continue to shore up their rosters, will any of them have room for Kessel?

Insider Chris Johnston has revealed that Kessel has every intention to play this season, staying game ready and looking at every option available to him.

The troubling thing about trying to find a contract this late in the season is trying to fit into a team's cap space. Many teams either have no cap space available or want to keep some open for future moves at the deadline.

Finding a home will be difficult for Kessel, but not impossible. Teams looking for a good bottom-six player at the deadline with playoff experience will undoubtedly give Kessel a call, it will just depend if Kessel is willing to play at a price that fits their cap situation.
