Why does Ottawa want Russel and his cap/play. Gaborik doesn't hurt Sens at all, so more silly LTIR trading. Besides Russel can easily block a trade to Ottawa.
Actually the Leafs might like the trade proposed. If the Leafs are desperate for a RHD and think Benning is fair value at 1.9m, and Puljarvi can be signed for a 1m or so. then it might be cap efficient for the Leafs and just maybe they get two NHLers for Kapanen. Kapanen would be the best player traded but the Leafs need cap space and they do have RWers (hopefully) that can fill Kapanen's spot.
