Phil Kessel Contract
Vegas Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon announced today, August 24, that the team has signed forward Phil Kessel to a one-year contract worth an average annual value of $1,500,000.
A two-time Stanley Cup champion (2015-16, 2016-17), Kessel has 956 points (399 G, 557 A) in 1,204 career NHL games.
He ranks eighth among all players who appeared in 2021-22 in career games played and 10th in career points. He is one goal shy of becoming the 13th American-born player to score 400 NHL goals.
Kessel has appeared in 982 consecutive NHL contests, the longest active streak and seven games away from tying Keith Yandle’s all-time record of 989.
Oilers
Phil Kessel is among the few notable names remaining in this summer’s unrestricted free agent market.
While the winger’s best days are behind him, he could become an affordable addition to a club such as the Edmonton Oilers.
During last week’s 32 Thoughts podcast, Jeff Marek wondered if Kessel might end up with the Oilers once the arbitration period has passed.
“He’d score there, there’s no denying that,” he said, pointing out Kessel was in a difficult position with the Arizona Coyotes.
Kessel’s production dropped considerably after being traded to the Coyotes by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2019.
Golden knights
The Vegas Golden Knights bolstered their forward depth by signing veteran Phil Kessel to a one-year, $1.5 million deal Wednesday.
The 34-year-old Kessel spent the past three seasons with the Arizona Coyotes. The two-time Stanley Cup champion has 399 goals and 557 assists in 1,204 career games with Boston, Toronto, Pittsburgh and Arizona.
Kessel has appeared in 982 consecutive NHL games, the longest active streak, and is seven away from tying Keith Yandle’s record of 989.
