It looks like Phil Kessel is staying with the Penguins, for now.
According to reports, Penguins GM Jim Rutherford worked out a deal to send Kessel to the Minnesota Wild for winger Jason Zucker last month, but Kessel, who has a clause in his contract that allows him to specify eight teams to which he can be traded without prior consent, vetoed the move. Rutherford says he is done looking for a trade partner.
