Maple Leafs Trade Thoughts: Phil Kessel and Montreal

Lyle Richardson cites an article from Matt Larkin of The Hockey News where Larkin suggests the Montreal Canadiens should pursue Phil Kessel.

Larkin proposes this trade scenario as an idea:

“Could Toronto squeeze big center Jacob De La Rose, goalie prospect Zach Fucale and a 2015 first-rounder out of Bergevin? Seems fair. If I’m the Leafs, I would start by aiming higher and ask for Alex Galchenyuk and a first rounder.” (The Hockey News)

The initial idea – De La Rose, Fucale and 2015 1st – is great for Montreal, but not so much for Toronto.
