If the return on Kesler was not high, I'm not upset if Gillis waits until the offseason to deal him.
There is no urgency on this crap season to improve for a playoff run.
Get maximum value for Kesler when you can because it's a rare opportunity to rebuild the core. One we won't have again for a long time. And Kesler is not a free agent for a little while. No rush.
Glad he didn't bite on a Sutter deal.
