The MTL trade isn't likely, particularly prior to the expansion draft because it's two players for MTL to protect. Never say never I suppose, but it's over $8M in salary to take on.
I do like the trade in the sense that if the Blackhawks are going to trade a player from the Kane line, they should do it improve the Toews line. In my opinion, while the salary cap is a metaphorical talent raider for the Blackhawks, the real problem for the Blackhawks is that they haven't replaced Saad & Hossa (moved from 1st line to 3rd line) from the last Cup team. That's why Toews' production has slipped the last two seasons.
