Basically Steen is a part of the trade to help St Louis with their current cap issues but they would still have to take part of his salary to help us next year. This year the Leafs cap isn’t really an issue, it’s next year where it’ll be tight. But this team depending on a few signings would be at least close.. if we have to find a way to get rid of Steen next summer or let Myers walk, it’ll be no issue at all.
I’m sure he would wave to come to Toronto if they asked him to. We would re sign Pietrangelo, because after his contract is up, our cap wouldn’t be as much of an issue because we have some players like Marleau coming off the books and the cap should keep rising.
Need to give up a lot for a player like Pietrangelo, but to have a guy who finished top 10 in Norris voting, while being injured, a huge guy in Babs team Canada teams, leader, right handed and all that comes with him..is worth it.
