Since the Leafs, rightly, aren't going to do anything, I'll throw out this idea I saw somewhere in the last few days. Go out and sign biggest name on the market, say Mike Green, to a one-year, $9M contract. Let him know that you intend to trade him to a contender at the TDL and that you will retain half his salary.

This only works if you've gutted the team enough that there is no chance of being in a playoff hunt. (We should be safe on that front.). This isn't a real suggestion but is kind of a cool variation on the Winnik type deal.

I had this strange dream last night that the Leafs signed Franson, Santorelli, Winnik and Belesky, Kessel got all trained up with Roberts, Bernier had a bounceback year, while Reimer was right on his heels in a contract year, with Babcock leading the Leafs into the playoffs that were void of the Big Bad Bruins...

Maybe they could sign him instead of franson. I'd rather watch his poopty commercials for 3 hrs 82 times next year than Franny.

Except Green will be looking for a 5y+ deal.
Too much risk of getting injured during his 1y deal to take the 9million.
Green will get something like 6mln/5y from a team like Florida or Detroit.

wouldn't it be fun if Calgary traded for both Kessel as well as Bozak?

Kessel + Bozak + a 2nd 2017

for

Bennett + Hunter Smith + Poirier + Stajan

no big names get signed today

a few smaller deals for role playing vets

what i am looking forward to is seeing what teams miss out on the big names they were after and start looking to the trade market for help (phaneuf, kessel, etc)

Maybe. But maybe making $9M with a chance of playing on a contender might be appealing. The biggest problem is that it's just such a weak FA year that a guy like Green might not want to re-enter next year which is presumably stronger.
