Three Time Cup Champion Could Consider Maple Leafs Reunion

The seasoned veteran, Phil Kessel, made headlines in the NHL last season with his remarkable iron-man streak, which continued while he was with Vegas. The 35-year-old forward showcased impressive production, tallying 14 goals and 36 points in all 82 games played. While Kessel had a limited role in the Golden Knights' Stanley Cup run, his mere presence, coupled with his three Cups under his belt, could have been a significant asset. Fans are curious, is a reunion with the Maple Leafs worth exploring?

This intriguing possibility was raised by The Hockey News, following recent comments by Elliotte Friedman that Kessel is open to any role, even if it means sacrificing his iron-man streak. Given the Leafs' need for scoring depth in their bottom-six forwards, this reunion could potentially be a match made in heaven.

In his previous stint with Toronto, Kessel played a career-high 446 games for the team before being traded back in 2015. Many fans have held a special place in their hearts for the veteran goal scorer, and now, the stars seem to align.

Kessel would come at a reasonable cost, boasts three Stanley Cup rings, including a recent one, and for a Leafs squad in search of playoff experience and a scoring threat in their depth lines, adding the beloved Kessel could be the perfect way to cap off their already successful summer.

Could this be the key to a championship in Toronto?
