I wonder what happened last year with his Vancouver try out? The real story. It seemed like a done deal. He came here, skated for at least a week. Everyone thought he was signing. Then nope it didn’t happen.

It is ridiculous that Phil Kessel can't get a PTO.

Steven Lorentz has a PTO are you telling me Steven Lorentz is a better player than Phil Kessel? because that's a lie, I know that's a lie I've seen Phil Kessel play quite a lot actually
Yes, Lorentz is a much better NHL player than Phil Kessel is, at this point in time. Lorentz is an effective physical and defensive presence. He doesn't score much, but 2 years ago, Kessel had 8 goals in 82 games. Lorentz had 10 that year! And Phil is a major liability on the forecheck and defensively. If he's not scoring, and scoring a lot, he actively harms your team. And he hasn't scored effectively in years.

Lorentz will at least not hurt you. That alone makes him a better player than Phil Kessel is right now.

Also, the guys who get PTOs are the ones who work hard and set a good example for the kids even if they don't make the team. That... is not Phil Kessel.

He probably still has a good snap shot. He also probably can't get up a flight of stairs without an automatic defibrillator.

He's completely washed up. Vancouver gave him a chance last year and he couldn't even keep up with AHLers.
You're one of the best posters to come out of the Penguins boards in the last decade, but this is just wrong and was not reported.

It’s Europe or minors if Phil wants to keep playing. Maybe Phil, Jagr and Luongo can start an old timers league.
