True, but he never really had good wingers anyway. Sundin and Samuelsson were the best we had, and that wasn't for very long. Burrows was great with him when they were on the 3rd line, but not for offense.
Kesler had every right to leave. He would have been a #1 centre in his prime if it wasn't for Henrik. He would have easily been the top centerman on 20 other teams in this league. He is basically the American Bergeron. I hope he wins a Cup.
