Since that time, Kessel has not participated in any games. Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced his arrival in Vancouver, leading some enthusiasts to rush to the nearest airport with the aspiration of spotting him.
A fan managed to do just that. He took a photo of the free agent on social media and supporters were taken aback by Kessel's look.
The Canucks have been diligently working to construct an optimal team for a significant Stanley Cup push. Through distinct transactions with the Calgary Flames, Vancouver secured defenseman Nikita Zadorov and executed a major trade to bring in forward Elias Lindholm.
Incorporating Kessel, who seems to be fit, offers the Canucks an additional choice among their wingers and contributes seasoned expertise for a possible quest for the Cup. The last time the Canucks reached the Stanley Cup finals, they were defeated by the Boston Bruins.
