He has played with the Bruins, Leafs, Penguins, Coyotes, and now the Golden Knights. His most successful season was in 2017-18 with the Penguins where he scored 92 points.
By letting teams know he does not want to keep the streak going, he is allowing himself to get a chance to reach the 1,000-point plateau which any player can only dream of. We will now wait and see if any team offers Kessel a contract for the upcoming season.
