Phil Kessel still a Maple Leaf

Phil Kessel is still a Toronto Maple Leaf two days before the March 2 2015 deadline. Although, it would not appear that he really cares very much either way based on his most recent interview.

Is it possible for Kessel to make it anymore clear that he no longer has a vested interest in the Maple Leafs. If he ever did in my opinion. I think it is long since past the time that we trade this arrogant, mediocre player. Sure he is a big league scorer but the few points he does put on the board are nothing compared to the bad impression he gives off onto other players. Instead of being a role model he appears to have done the exact opposite. Never back checking, never showing much effort and above all else never interested in talking to the media. To be a true leader especially in a large hockey market it is imperative that a player have at least some rapport with the media.
