Bruins and Leafs just finalizing picks in Kessel deal?

The Toronto Maple Leafs have offered two first rounders and a second rounder for Phil Kessel according to multiple reports. The Leafs also want a third round draft pick in return from Boston in addition to Kessel.

According to a source, the Bruins don't want to package any picks with Kessel and that is the hold up. Like Kessel is done negotiating with the Bruins, the Bruins are done dealing with Kessel and will ship the forward out of town. The same source said that Boston will deal Kessel for the two first rounders and second round pick.

If all that is holding this up is a third round pick, why would I not think that things may be done soon?

Nashville is still interested in Kessel, however, are talking about position players in a swap for the young sniper.
