Phil: "I don't really care to be honest with you."
Tank-it Leafers are dancing with glee after every TO loss: "YAY higher draft pick!"

Phil Kessel has always been about Phil Kessel... but now the truth is out.
He's got his guaranteed retirement contract, he's done.
Teams like "Chicago or Detroit" want nothing to do with a player like this.
