Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal has stirred up speculation, hinting at potential interest in NHL veteran Phil Kessel, who currently sits as an unrestricted free agent.


Sources suggest the Canucks have been quietly exploring the possibility of adding the seasoned forward to their roster. Adding fuel to the fire, Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet recently spoke highly of Kessel, praising their successful stint together with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where they secured consecutive Stanley Cup victories in 2016 and 2017.




Tocchet's influence on Kessel's performance earned him the playful moniker "Phil Whisperer."

With their history of mutual admiration, a reunion on the West Coast seems plausible, promising an intriguing development for Canucks fans. Stay tuned for further updates.
