my buddy is a habs fan and we always argue on who is a better player between patch and kessel. Im going to say no to this trade for two reasons. #1. Although patch is more well rounded, kessel has more upside and I feel that he could end up meshing very well after some time. I mean he scored 80 points with bozak and JVR. Patch has similar line mates and has never reached 70. and #2 Term. Kessel is signed to a longer contact and therefore when patches expires, there is no chance pittsburgh will be able to resign him. It'll cost at least 7.5 mil. Probably more. Very interesting trade though. You can make arguments for both cases. They are in the same class
