t's really not that crazy, I bet he doesn't go for much more than that, I might throw in another 1st or Kapanan or Harrington even. It gives Toronto 8 million in cap space in 2 years time and 2-3 assets to boot. But I would pay even more for the potential of 40-60 goals and 2 decent powerplay units instead of 1. cThe Leafs business model right now is lose and accumulate, they aren't trying to be productive any time soon and they are going to have to take salary back no matter who they trade him to. Why not trade him for relief when they plan to be competitive again? Those 3 give them 3 roster players for the next 2 years that will give them a team but also ensure they are not a good team. I'm not saying it's going to happen at all but it's not impossible. And we'll see in the next few weeks what his actual value is given his contract and attributes. This is the perfect situation for Kessel, all he has to do is score goals and take shots. There's no emphasis for him to be a leader or a spokesperson, so no blame. I like to think he has some say in where he goes and he could push for this type of situation given that there are only 8 teams on his trade acceptable list.
