The ongoing saga of 3-time Stanley Cup Champion Phil Kessel's free agency continues since July 1st. His impressive 1,065-game ironman streak is balanced by his willingness to embrace a different role for the 2023-24 NHL season, providing teams noteworthy flexibility.
With a full 82-game season played for the Golden Knights last year, Phil Kessel had limited playoff opportunities. As training camps approach, speculation about his future intensifies. As he nears his 36th birthday on October 2nd, the potential of a professional try-out contract looms, offering a pathway for the 35-year-old to secure a roster spot.
