LA can give the Leafs their 1st pick this year and Holzer can take Polak's spot in the Leafs line up.

And how do you propose the Kings get it back from Columbus?

He's been playing wing with Christian Dvorak at C. Not sure if he can play C but I'm fairly sure that he's been at wing for a significant portion of the season.

So I'm not usually someone to throw out trade ideas but here's something that came to mind that would be a Kessel trade that would be three things:
1. Would be a trade where the team trading for Kessel didn't sacrifice a top young player they were planning to build around.
2. Would be a trade where the Leafs got relatively fair value.
3. Would be absolutely hilarious.
Anyways, here it is:
To Toronto: Malcolm Subban, 2016 1st round pick and Loui Eriksson
To Boston: Phil Kessel
Boston gets in Kessel the player they hoped they were getting in Eriksson, they trade Subban who it doesn't seem like they're going to give the chance to supplant Rask and they throw in a 1st rounder with less risk on it than this year's. Toronto gets the goalie of the future, another first rounder and an expiring Eriksson who could be flipped again for a 2nd or something.

Well aren't you just up on all the draft picks league-wide...
I don't think that's awful, might be some salary concerns on Boston's end. I also wonder if they would really be all that interested in bringing Phil back. But I do agree with the value-side of it. My basic structure of a Kessel deal would be...
1) a A prospect/young player, but not an A+ prospect/young player like you said
2) 1st round draft pick
3) a B prospect/young player
4) cap space
Subban and the 1st obviously tick the first two boxes. Eriksson could be flipped for a 2nd rounder of somebody a little further along in his development. There's no long-term deals coming back and we aren't eating any of Phil's contract.
Obviously I would like a little more, but I'm coming to the grips that we'll end up a little disappointed in whatever return Kessel brings. That's kind of just the nature of how trades like these usually work out.

Not bad. Maybe add in Seidenberg for salary reasons and we could flip him for a 2nd as well?

I'd pass on that unless they were throwing in a 2nd/3rd rounder of their own for us to take that contract. He's got 2 years left at $4mil and apparently the injury he recently came back from has really hampered his skating. So that might not be a very easy contract to flip.
edit: Sorry, he has 3 years left on his deal after this one. Again, yuck. Even with a pick I don't know if I take that, especially with Robidas still on the books.
Nik the Trik said:
The fact that they're even trying to move him, despite the fact that they need a top-4 defenceman, should speak volumes about where his play is at right now. Bruins fans are pretty upset at Boston management for extending him at the eventual expense of Boychuk.

I dont see any scenario where the Bruins take Kessel back

PHASE II
To Montreal: Phaneuf, Gauthier, another prospect with a French name, Boston's 1st rounder
To Toronto: PK Subban

NO thanks.
The only way you say no to that deal is if McDavid's name mysterious actually had an accent in it.
