Phil Kessel endures.

On the eve of Friday's NHL draft, Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said a decision to move Kessel won't be a "knee-jerk reaction," and that the team has not ruled out bringing the maligned sniper back next season.

The five-time 30-goal man is receiving the most interest among Maple Leafs skaters, Shanahan told reports in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., indicating that several teams have placed calls.

He said there's no deadline to make a deal, and, as such, the Maple Leafs may be switching their focus to hoping Kessel can provide a jolt to his trade value with a bounce-back performance next season.

Kessel suffered through his worst 82-game campaign since being acquired by the Maple Leafs, recording 61 points, including 25 goals, and authoring a woeful minus-34 rating in 2014-15.

Toronto is believed to be willing to accept a contract back in a deal for Kessel, but other reports suggest the Maple Leafs' current ask is too high for opposing general managers.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are the latest team to reportedly express interest, according to Sportsnet's Damien Cox.
