Currently playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL.

Autograph obtained c/o his home.

A huge addition to my collection of Toronto Maple Leaf past and present stars. Though he hasn't fully blossomed with the Leafs, I still believe that he will get going with someone like Brad Richards as a linemate. Many people doubt Kessel's scoring abilities, but I think there's still some of the "Boston" Phil Kessel left in him.
