After a trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Phil Kessel spent 4 years in Pittsburgh playing for the Penguins, and productively they were the best of his career.
HIs career high's in points and assists were as a member of the Penguins, oh and the guy managed to win back-to-back cups where he should have also won the Conn Smythe Trophy during the first one after leading the team in scoring, but for some reason they decided to give it to Sidney Crosby because he didn't win it after his first cup.
Kessel was traded from the Penguins to the Coyotes where he played for a few years before signing with the Vegas Golden Knights this season. Not too long ago, Kessel passed Keith Yandle for the all time record of consecutive games played.
Tonight when he returned to Pittsburgh to play, the Penguins gave him a touching tribute:
