Deal close between Kessel & Leafs

TORONTO (Sep. 13) — Though the parties involved are wisely and appropriately maintaining a code of virtual silence, it appears certain that the Phil Kessel-to-Toronto negotiations are heating by the moment. Sources confirm that at least a half-dozen NHL teams are interested in acquiring the Bruins’ restricted free agent, but Kessel is believed to strongly favour Toronto as a new destination, and the Leafs appear willing to offer what it will take — within reason — to trade for the scoring forward. The possibility of an offer-sheet still exists, though it would seem a waste of time for an opponent to go that route, as the Bruins have made it clear they will match any overture in order to retain Kessel’s trading rights. As such, a transaction between teams is almost certainly the way Kessel will change jerseys.
