There is a big reason why Phil Kessel hasn't been traded yet.

Toronto Maple Leafs' forward Phil Kessel has a list of eight teams to which he would accept a trade. It is no secret that the Maple Leafs have been looking for partners for Kessel for several months. The problem is, according to Bob McKenzie, there may not be anybody on the eight team list interested in the 27 years old winger. Despite averaging 66 points per season in six years with the Leafs and scoring north of 30 goals five times in his career, Kessel doesn't seem to drag any interest at all from other teams. According to McKenzie, a lot of reasons can explain this lack of interest. Teams like the Kings, Rangers and Blackhawks don't have the cap space to spend. And the Leafs may simply not want to trade them to such team as rivals Montreal Canadiens. Poor Kessel, it really seems like nobody wants him on their team. Image courtesy of Key Stone Press
