What are you talking about Kessel had glorious comb-over potential. Sadly I'm sure he is way past that point now.
Perhaps because good looks are subjective but that receding hair line is obviousI love how you can’t have a thread about who the most handsome player is (seriously, made one and it got locked) but mocking is totally chill. Weird standard is all.
anyways Laine might be in the running.

Adam Pelech. The disturbing thing is it’s been like this since he was like 20.

Love it that so many are still triggered by Binner.

Olli Jokinen has the greatest hair comeback story of all time. Sampled every ~5 years…

I dig the Rockin’ Monk lookWho is currently rocking the most egregious receding hair line in the NHL? For reference, this is what Iafrate was working with in his prime:

As an 18 year old, he played his WJC with a green Mohawk. Unfortunately, no pictures exist that I know of.

Adam Pelech is probably the only one mentioned here who’s look (mid age average dependable dad) actually reflects his playing style.

Some people say that he also had a tattoo of a turkey on his chest and a girl on the back. Who can say whether or not its true now

I don't see any real signs of hair loss. It just looks like he decided to grow it out rather than keep it buzzed.

I generally agree, but whether or not he was balding is so hard to say since he spent pretty much his entire tenure on the Panthers with a shaved head. Who knows, maybe just long enough to get those thin spots filled in? One thing we do know though… the man who used to look like a furless cat now looks like caveman.

what a weird dude- he didn’t just buzz it, he went shiny for much of his career if I remember right. Who the f*** thinks “when I play- no hockey hair. When I coach- that is when we grow it out.” I’m simply fascinated by this dude’s psyche.

Rick "Nifty" Middleton on the Bruins was receding as a player, but I think did one of those local commercials in Boston for hair treatment years ago, and looks better as he aged. I can't recall if he played sans helmet most of his career.
Sorry, don't know how to post pictures.

Easy peasy answer..
I think Kessel has enough side/donor hair and money to get a hair transplant.
All these guys are loaded - why not just get hair plugs? I mean if it matters so much that you need to style your hair to hide it.

It's weird to me to see a young, successful man of today make the series of conscious decisions necessary to look like a sleazy seventies porn producerThe good ol' Planet Al skullet.
This one is well on its way:
I remember talking with Steve Thomas and when we shook hands at the end of the conversation, it was as though his hand swallowed mine with room left over for a small apartment building.

I played poker with gino odjick and the size of his hands was all I noticed. Felt like they were 3x the size of mine, and I'm 6'3
