I'd just like to say that was my original suggestion. If it happens I am deemed a Leafs Insider and hbuzz will pay me for my in-depth knowledge.

Kane for that package is highly unlikely. But nonetheless I will give you the credit.

Almost 1/3 of the cap on 1/11 of the team.
- iTOLDu

So they're spending 30% of their cap on 8% of their overall team?
I know star players get more, blah blah blah, but wow.

thats fine then dont trade for him.
I said if the deal is decent... if its an overpayment then pass. strictly speaking of a hockey trade. dont care about the personal stuff, wouldn't make a difference to me in acquiring him
- senstroll

I just dont think it could ever be a fair deal. I would rather focus on other useful players w/o the baggage.

Yeah, very good debate.

Very tough call. I agree with you based on contracts and accomplishments. I think Toews has the edge against Getzlaf and Perry has it on Kane as I just don't think Kane is worth 10.5 million.

Makes Kessel look like a steal at 8!
- Aaron_85

Seriously. I could see Toews. But I wouldn't have paid Kane that much. Lockout in the future def likely.

Are we now allowed to claim that Kessel took a pay cut to remain a Leaf?

Well, it's not like Kessel won 2 cups with/for the Leafs...

10.5... holy poop.. thats over 25% of your salary on 2 players..

respect.

Dion did too

Of course they should. How often can the Leafs get their hands on a player that talented and that young? Whatever his attitude problems are just lower the price and eventually somebody is going to get him for dirt cheap.

Well, it's not like Kessel has had Toews, Hossa, Sharp, Keith and Seabrook to play with...

No, not really because he forced the Leafs to sign Bozak too. Bozak is a 2 million dollar player but he's getting 4.2. So Kessel is pretty much making 10.2 million a year and donating 2.2 to his lifemate.

Subban's eyes just lit up seeing those 10 million per contracts

I'm sure neither of them care anyways. They're making loot in COD tourneys and saving money taking each other on dates to the movies.

Kane and Toews put a ring on it first.

$2M dollar Bozak...tee hee.

Much like Kessel, he doesn't have 2 Cups in his portfolio.

Yeah, we already have one Kadri
We don't need two.

So when he does, will you shut your poutine-scarfing hole?
