Phil Kessel, the NHLs all-time Iron Man, is currently a free agent without a team. Bleacher Report has sparked discussions by naming the top five teams that could be a good fit for him, as the trade deadline approaches.

Phil Kessel On His Way Back to the Pittsburgh Penguins?

There's increased focus on Kessel, who played a crucial role for the Golden Knights in reaching the playoffs last season. Despite playing less in the playoffs, his experience and locker room presence could be a game-changer. After all, there aren't too many 3-time cup winners available on the market.

The Penguins, a team Kessel has won two of those Stanley Cups with, could benefit from his return.

His experience could be particularly useful for improving their performance, especially in a third-line role where he could significantly contribute to scoring. With Nick Bonino equally being a free agent after his buyout earlier this month, could the Penguins re-assemble two thirds of the famed HBK line?

Financially, signing Kessel at the league's minimum salary could be a wise decision for the Penguins, as their salary cap situation is far from ideal.

Is Kessel back in Pittsburgh a match made in heaven?
