Major Development Regarding Phil Kessel And His Future In The NHL
Phil Kessel's potential signing with the Vancouver Canucks has been a hot topic in recent weeks, but the urgency of the situation has now come to light.
Cap Friendly reports that Kessel must ink a deal by 3PM ET this Friday to be eligible for the playoffs, regardless of whether he signs with Vancouver or another playoff contender.
«Worth noting that Kessel would need to sign a contract prior to 3pm ET on Friday in order to be playoff eligible.»
This update follows Canucks Insider Rick Dhaliwal's revelation that there's been no progress on Kessel's potential move to Vancouver, despite earlier optimism.
As the Stanley Cup Playoffs draw near, numerous playoff-bound teams are seeking depth, making Kessel, a three-time Stanley Cup winner, a coveted asset. However, aside from Vancouver, there hasn't been much buzz around Kessel's potential destinations.
With the trade deadline looming on Friday, Vancouver may be exploring trade options before finalizing a deal with Kessel. If they can bolster their roster through trades and still secure Kessel, the Canucks could emerge as serious contenders in the 2023-24 season.
