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.
