Phil Kessel

I see Kessel has kept the whip in his stick, worked for him up to now I suppose.

Someone should remind Bozak that he has a task to do with regards to Kessel extention 8)

Don't know where he said it but...

Friedman said the Leafs and Kessel are working on a long-term extension. First anyone has said of that

EDIT: Ah, he has a new 30 Thoughts, that's where it is, very briefly at #1.

It was in his 30 thoughts. He kinda just threw it in there, so I'm not sure I would read too much into it:

1. Asked a few players what they thought of Scott/Kessel. The majority thought Kessel was justified in his actions. On Monday, Scott told reporters in Buffalo, "I wasn't going to try to hurt him. I was just trying to send a message." The thing is, there is no way in the moment Kessel knows that. If he gets hurt, how much does it cost him, especially since he and the team are working on a long-term extension? The one thing a couple did say was he could have skated away from Scott before puck drop. That was the only "out" he had.

Nice to see Rob Del Mundo quotes about the Kessel/Scott show in the Toronto Sun today!

Dave Poulin was on the Fan590 this morning and was asked that if Kessel doesn't want to negotiate an extension during the season, you have about a week to come up with something before the season starts.... He alluded that something may be being worked on right now and we'll see soon if anything can get done.

Hope they get this done.  I don't want the Kessel contract hanging over this team all season.
