He should be thanking the Sedins every morning when he wakes.

He has PP time with them last year and at times this year, They draw all the attention both on the ice (from the opposing teams top defensive players) and off the ice from the media etc. There is little pressure on him, which has helped him develop.

You’re actually wrong Jeff, Kesler got the big contract more for his Selke like play over the past couple years, the Sedins have very little to do with his new contract.

Sure helps being able to grow in the shadow of two star forwards…

The sedin sisters have not changed much about this contract. Kesler has played solid his entire carreer. The Sedona have taken ten years to develop into decent players.
