LV wouldn't have a problem meeting the cap floor by any means, and even if they did I'd doubt they'd take Laich, even with the backdoor deal that you've suggested (not entirely sure those will be allowed since there have been talks about it being taken out.) They'd probably just take Marincin anyways, and what does it matter to us since his contract is up at the end of the year and LV can just grab him in FA if they want to overpay him, or overpay someone worth the dollars like Alzner or Shatty or anyone else. I don't mind the ANA trade, but I definitely think the Leafs might have to add to it, since Sosh isn't doing all that well this season. A second and 4th liner probably won't get you a young RHD playing top 4 minutes, but then again they could lose him for nothing, so I can't be entirely sure what they'd ask. As for Brown, if he keeps up at this pace then you can be sure he either asks for more money for that term or a shorter term for less dollars. I also don't see the need in signing Del Zotto and Hunwick. Babcock likes Hunwick and unless he's not an option anymore (which I doubt) he'll probably man the third pair again. I've liked Del Zotto for a while now, especially since he is a GTA native, but I don't see him AND Hunwick coming here. I do like the term and dollars though and the reasoning behind it.
