Just had a twenty minute conversation with a long-time NHL scout who told me "The Leafs are closing in on a BIG defensive upgrade....but in order to make the move they need to make a move that would see them lose Kapanen...and that is not something Shanny wants any part of..."
The defender may be worth it though...The source described him as "A staple in the All-Star Game before the change in format...but one of the best d-men of the last 5 years in the Western Conference..."
