I have to think there's a deal to be made around Bozak and Liles plus 'x' going to Colorado for one their centres.
Well, there's a bit of a problem there - they can't trade O'Reilly because of the offer sheet, they almost certainly won't trade Duchene and the Leafs probably don't have all that much interest in Stastny with his contract, considering he's on pace for the equivalent of another ~55 point season.
Yeah, I'm not all that keen on paying Stastny 6.5 million to MAYBE put up PPG numbers between Kessel and Lupul in the future. And they won't trade Duchene for pennies.
I wouldn't mind trying to reacquire Alex Steen from St. Louis. They are a team looking for defensive help. Move Kadri up a line and put Steen in Grabovski's role and try Grabovski on Kessel's line and see if anything clicks with Van Riemsdyk.
