Kessel just ordered himself an extension for his house.

Nieuwendyk would have 29 teams on hold right now if he was.

CarltonTheBear said:Looking at their past 5 years their goals per game rate is identical (.43) and Semin has Kessel beat in points per game (.98 to .86). Yes, Kessel is younger, but they really are pretty identical players. They're offensive wingers whose only job is to score, and they do it well. Semin has some struggled a little these past couple of seasons but there's still a reasonable chance he could be a close to point-per-game winger throughout the deal. And that's what we expect of Kessel. So I'd say it's a pretty solid comparable. With Kessel's age the Leafs could even afford to tack on a few extra years, maybe all the way to 8, to get the cap hit down just below 7.
