Thread: Getting The Leafs Out Of Cap Hell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nchest</b></div><div>League won't allow it. Orpik the league couldn't prove the intent. Washington traded a goalie and a pick with Orpik. He was bought out but not immediately signed by the Caps.

League would step in if the Leafs say Vancouver we are trading you Marleau so you can buy him out for picks and we can re-sign him. Marleau, you waive your NTC and we will resign you after you are bought out. That does not fall under the CBA. If it did then you would see rumor sites and TSN talking about this option. It is not legit and not going to happen. Marleau is a Leaf next year.</div></div>

I do agree it won't happen, but the league can't step in on the leafs doing it and not Washington, the leafs add a nobody prospect and they *can't prove* that's not who they wanted anyways

Thread: TDL deals wTOR DAL NASH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Possibly, it comes to different teams with different needs. Flyers have a lot of prospects, so would probably be looking for a young NHL player with upside like Kapanen now (an eye to the future to get a guy with 2-3 years experience to play with a frost, a farabee, a Radcliffe, etc...).
And needs/wants are all relative to the moment, for example; Austin Watson being suspended creating a hole in physicality for NASH, or Winnipeg losing two fights last night, or Boston getting "big and physical", those issues might slightly drive up the price for physical guys like Simmonds and Gudas (maybe just for those two teams, NASH and WPG, but maybe for others who might have to face them in the playoffs).

And no team or GM is going to come out and be honest about who they won't trade, because it hurts the player's and teams confidence, (unless you're the Dallas GM).

All I'm saying is what LA took or asked for in trade isn;t what Philly might take or ask for.</div></div>

I agree with that, but Kapanen is more valuable than the package we gave for Muzzin, and Muzzin&gt;Gudas. Unlikely, even with additions that Dubas would consider it, especially after already filling a huge hole with muzzin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Cant disagree with that, but Toronto has forward depth, but Gudas, who is having a great year, IMO carries more playoff value than Kapanen and is at more of a need position for the playoff bound Leafs. Brown doesn't fit any of Philly's needs or wants. Also, looking at the RFA status of Kapanen is a concern. And Friedman possibly fetches a 2nd rounder at the moment, hes really progressed as a prospect. So in my mind I see:
Gudas = a 2nd rounder (closer to a 2nd rounder and a 4th)
PHI 2nd rounder (probable top 36)
Friedman = 2nd rounder (sure bet 3rd rounder)

That's a pretty good deal for a team with a need. Value = value</div></div>

If Toronto refused to move him for Muzzin it's very unlikely they'd move him for Gudas + either.
