Sarge said:Kulemin + Kadri + Blacker (or something like that.) I think that would be a very competitive offer on Burke's part.
That's a lot, Blacker is worth way more than a pick to me but your point, yup, it should be competitive.

McPwnage said:How about ryan for grabovski, macarthur, franson for ryan, that would free up the salary required to aquire ryan. It is really good for us if grabovski doesn't want to stay in Toronto and we can sign getzlaf in 2013 to round ourselves out as a contender.
Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
Ryan - Connolly - Kulemin
Frattin - Lombardi - Armstrong
Brown - Steckel - Dupis

Again, what value does an unsigned Grabovski have to Anaheim? Sure, come deadline, Grabo might interest teams lacking a center who are looking to make a playoff push but unless I've missed something, what is the appeal here on Anaheim's part?

One of the things Anaheim needs is a 2nd line centre to replace Koivu, who has been pretty ordinary and is likely to retire. While Grabovski might not be the ideal candidate for them in terms of contract length, picking him up now does give them a 7 month head start on getting him under contract for the future. And, if they can't, he could be an attractive asset for them to flip at the deadline to pick up picks and prospects for themselves.

Sarge said:Fair enough... Sign him or flip him I suppose.
cw said:Anaheim does have money issues.
In mulling this over, I looked at their key dollar impact injuries to see if there might be some synergy for the Leafs to eat some dough:
Jason Blake (LW) $4.0 mil cap hit (last season) ($3 mil cash left) wrist tendon - due back mid Jan
Maybe taking Blake back in some sort of package might help Anaheim free up some dough ... Leafs could waive him to the AHL to avoid cap problems the minute he's healthy. So Blake could be a component of a deal.

I know it's Kypreos but it seems a little more than that, no?

It does, but, I feel like we say that about someone every year, only to see nothing happen with them.
Erndog said:Pierre McGuire and the boys were discussing this on the Team1200 this morning. They mentioned the "reported asking price" is, and I can't remember the exact adjective they used for the forward but they said, "a good young forward, a top young d-man and a 1st round pick." Pretty much the typical template for a move like this.
So with that said, I can think of 2 packages off the top of my head that "fit" the asking price:
1) Kulemin + Aulie/Franson + 1st
or
2) Kadri + Schenn/Gardiner + 1st
Not saying we should do either one (or the Ducks would accept either one), but it looks like it would have to be something along those lines. Perhaps a Kadri + Aulie + 1st would work also but I think they could get a better package elsewhere.

Ducks have a nice collection of young d-men. I think they ask for two forwards plus a 1st.. Kadri, Kulemin 1st type scenario. Leafs could sweeten the deal by taking on Blake and burying him somewhere... something a Carolina is going to have no business doing.

I think the Blake thing is perhaps the best angle the Leafs have. Take him and bury him - the Leafs can pay him in the minors and Anahein saves a lot of money.
