Still, this is a move Burke absolutely had to make. Kessel is very solid, and like you said, they needed a guy that they could start to build around. I don't know what their cap situation is, but I expect them to steadily stockpile talent over the next few years and be back in the playoffs next year. I heard a lot of talk about how a good Blackhawks team is good for the NHL. I think the same is true for the Leafs.
