Real_ESPNLeBrun: Leafs have firm offers on the table for Phil Kessel, expect to get more on the draft floor this evening. (con't)
Real_ESPNLeBrun: But Leafs don't feel it's a must to move him this weekend. Next week could be just as good a window. Will only do it if deal is right
Real_ESPNLeBrun: Leafs also getting lots of action on 24th overall pick. Sorting thru options

If the Leafs could get a better trade return for Kessel than Boston got for Seguin and Hamilton, I would be so happy.

Interesting. How could the offers change after the draft? Could they go back to the teams that have deals on the table right now and say "Give me the guy you drafted in the first round?"
Also, they have to clear this with Kessel too. He has to waive his no trade. That doesn't leave a lot of time to make the deal on the floor unless the team is on his list.

They probably already know which teams Kessel will absolutely say no to, and he's said he'll go wherever the Leafs want him to go, so, getting him to waive is not likely much of an issue. All that takes is a phone call.
As for deals changing . . . there'd be players/prospects/future picks subbed in for any picks in this year's draft, yeah. I'm sure the Leafs have will discuss frameworks for those types of deals with teams that have presented intriguing enough offers. It could be the guys those teams just drafted or it could be prospects already in their system that they'd now feel a little more open to moving after bringing in a fresh set of draftees.

Boston raped the Kings. He has some disk problems, a first, a good goalie prospect and a good defensive prospect.

You likely right about that, but what's funny is that any team that would have traded for Lucic (LA in this case of course) is doing so with the intention of re-signing him I'm guessing. And he's likely going to command something like $6.5-7mil on a long-term deal. Is that a better contract than what Kessel currently has? I don't think so.

Pittsburgh still in on Kessel apparently.

Kapanen, Sprong, 2016 1st and whatever it takes to make the cap work. I'd be down!
