There is no doubt that Phil Kessel is the Toronto Maple Leafs best player and if you are picking in the 10-15 position of your fantasy draft Phil Kessel would be a solid pickup. He has the potential to score 40 goals and 82 points, NHL.com ranks Kessel 14th on their top 275 players rankings. The idea of having Nazem Kadri play on the top line with Kessel would give him a boost, he is a consistent power play producer and may have Joffrey Lupul on his opposite wing instead of James Van Riemsdyk. Kessel has played well with both so I his production should not be affected.
