PITTSBURGH — If the Phil Kessel-to-Penguins reunion rumor seems hopelessly ridiculous, ask yourself this: Who would you rather have right now, Kessel or Kasperi Kapanen?
Of course, you could substitute "Dan LaCouture" for "Kessel" in that sentence and still have cause for thought, but you get the point.
In any scenario, the Kessel story seems pretty ridiculous. But it is intriguing. It's Phil Kessel. The guy makes for great copy, and without him, the 21st Century Penguins might still be stuck on one Stanley Cup.
