Phil Kessel’s Messy Breakup with Penguins

American professional hockey player Phil Kessel rejected a trade to the Minnesota Wild. The Penguins found an agreeable new team for him out in Arizona.

The reason for Kessel to not accept the trade to Arizona is because he has a pal there. The head coach Rick Tocchet, Coyotes used to be an assistant on the Penguins and was known as a friend and wrangler of the enigmatic creature known as Phil. Similarly, the split between Phil and the Penguins was quite messy.

The sources said,

“Kessel’s fondness for Pittsburgh’s Rivers Casino, where he is known as a regular, was not viewed as problematic within the organization until [head coach Mike] Sullivan learned a few younger players, including [Jake] Guentzel, had also taken to spending time there on days before games, the sources said. Nothing was said directly to Kessel, but other players were said to hear casino visits on the day prior to games were frowned upon either directly from the coach or a team employee.”

The trade was made, and Penguins GM Jim Rutherford claimed that they parted on good terms.
