LEAFS, BRUINS REACH AGREEMENT

It has been widely known that Leafs general manager Brian Burke has been pursuing the young star for a while now. The team originally had a deal in place at the draft, a deal that would've seen defenceman Tomas Kaberle as part of the deal. Now not only does the Leafs get to keep Kaberle, they get Kessel as well for just three draft picks, although one may argue two first round picks may be a steep price, it was a price Burke was willing to pay.
This trade ends months of rumours involving the 21-year-old who is coming off a career year in which he recorded 60 points in 70 games, including 36 goals.
