Heroic Shrimp said:Is there not some consideration that a Kessel trade won't happen until July 1 or later because he's due a signing bonus on that day?

Scuderi, Kunitz, 2016 1st round pick and Derrick Pouliot....no thanks.

Yeah, that's the word, but a team that has deep pockets might go for it if there's some motivation there.

Not great, no, but Scuderi and Kunitz could be flipped, especially two deadlines from now. A first and a young defensive prospect isn't horrible ( Pouliot went 8th overall in 2012, fwiw ) I think this is the kind of framework that the Leafs will have to look at no matter for Phil.

bustaheims said:Pouliot's junior and AHL numbers are certainly impressive. He would be a nice asset to add, but, to take on two cap dumps like that, I'd be disappointed if the Leafs didn't get something more from Pittsburgh out of the deal.
Tigger said:Maybe but not a lot if anything more, currently.

Heroic Shrimp said:It should be noted that Pittsburgh fans consider the likelihood that Rob Rossi has actual insider information on any Penguins trade proposals to be dubious at best. He has burned bridges with their management and they can't stand him.
