I don't think Toronto will trade Kines, they need good players on ELCs to fill out their roster over the next 3-4 years. Also Murphy is probably too expensive for them to take on.

I completely agree that if Cat is traded it should be scorched earth. I think that might be what Davidson is hoping for. If he can find the right package for Cat, he might get Kane to waive and probably Toews too.

Maybe, but Toronto's window is now and Knies isn't ready yet. Moving out some cap with Holl and Mrazek will obviously help. Maybe Hawks retain $1M on Murphy, but Murphy would solidify their right side; Brodie and Murphy is pretty solid, especially bringing the physical element around the net. The bigger question for Toronto is goalie and what the cost is there...once that is decided, if there is room I could see them doing this type of trade all day long.

That leafs trade is not close. I like Murphy, but I don't think he gets you that good of a prospect. I wouldn't do Knies for Cat, and I love that guy.

Yeah, it's going to be sad if Cat gets traded because a) that means Kane and Toews are gone and hate to see Kane especially gone; b) means we are really going to suck for a few years and not even worth watching...I mean look at the roster here...has to be the worst in the league
