Friedman: Phil Kessel looking for opportunity to return to NHL

[blackjackmulligan]

Worse players that can fit a certain role that Phil can not. If he is cooked offensively, and can’t skate, he can’t offer you anything useful.

Thanks that never occurred to me. For not one team to give him a look doesn't add up.

It adds up to me, if teams think he is cooked they won't give him a look. I don't think there is anything else.

I feel a gender change and shift over to the “P” May be the move for Phil.

Philomena Kessel lol

 

[mundyc3]

I would think Columbus would be the best fit just because he would help lighten the room.

 

[Voight]

I'd welcome him back, as a Leafs fan, with open arms.

I've made this joke before. Kessel is what a normal guy would look like if he found a genie in a bottle.

Wish 1 - beat cancer
Wish 2 - long NHL career with no injuries
Wish 3 - "hmmm, do I want a beautiful family, or to be beautiful myself?"

Phil Kessel.....

Word is that Phil has been training hard on the bball court this off season and is in the best shape of his life

Can you Phil the Bod?

sounds like the hockey comeback will have to wait? Phil Kessel now a pro poker player?

Not sure why he’s flashing ace and 8 aka the “dead man’s hand.” Maybe this will turn out better for Phil than it did for Wild Bill Hickok tho

I thought this was a new thread and I was just like “give it up man”

At least it's not 7 and 2 unsuited. Worst hand in poker.

 

[jetsforever]

Darn, was hoping there was an update on the comeback!

 

[Mike C]

Yes Paul. That's EXACTLY what we're telling you.

Going to guess Phil couldn’t beat 25c/50c online. Or $11 tournaments.. ambassador not pro.

 

[Mike C]

So he practiced with Vancouvers AHL team and didn’t get a contract

I highly doubt it was they couldn’t agree on a contract

He probably wasn’t offered one

He would take the minimum

Maybe if he paid THEM the minimum??

Underneath the layers of hotdog greased flesh, humped back, and lumpy demeanor resides an elite athlete, a warrior ready to get your PP2 in gear!

 

[BLONG7]

Phil Kessel is an all-time favourite of mine. Just an absolute blast to watch.

I really hope he lands a spot somewhere.

A very likeable guy !! That said...................no way he gets a spot on an NHL team again.
Try an Asst coaching job Phil !
