The Vancouver Canucks Have Officially Passed On Signing Phil Kessel
The Vancouver Canucks took a chance on Phil Kessel with a tryout contract, hoping for a potential comeback. However, that chapter seems to have closed.
Canucks Pass on Kessel Deal

While there's a slim chance Kessel could sign elsewhere, such a deal would exclude him from playoff contention.
