Why do teams scout other teams (NHL) level.? Like the Oilers scouting Leafs goaltending?

I could make a fortune by charging a small fee and teams could text me if said player is any good or not.

Well , some people in pro sports might value your opinion less than HB posters even?

If we retain salary, does that stay on OUR cap.

Yes

If the leafs retrain any bit of salary on dion, then the retun is going to be really really good.

Imagine if they retained 1.5 million and took back Wiess to make the money work. They would get a great return.

@mirtle: The Leafs are going to try to be busy. Lot of balls in the air.

@DarrenDreger: Leafs with largest potential to make a deadline day splash. Told Detroit among 3 teams most interested in Dion Phaneuf. Just talk thus far.

If they did that det could afford to pay the price to make that trade.

I doubt it.

But seriously why does it take an in person look to figure out if Reimer is terrible or not? Do these people live in a cave?

Kindl and Weiss is really good?

Thanks insider

Not an insider.....just live it Calgary and listen to the radio . Treliving has zero appetite to trade futures, said it many times in the past few weeks . And wasn't Phaneuf a donk the least time he was in Calgary?

He must be watching TSN.

Guys, don't hate me but....if we take Weiss, retain salary and get Kindl...I would rather keep Phaneuf.

I suppose if anything they can hire some fat ass to sit down with the Center ice package and watch whatever the boss tells him to.

Kindl and Weiss is really good?
- LeafMan

salary dumps

Yes for the duration of the contract, so for Phaneuf, 6 years.
- LeafMan

Well we have 4 guys on other teams, that we are paying for.. That can't be a positive thing..

For sure. I would take Wiess with no salary retained or 1.5 without Wiess for Kindl but if we are doing both, I want a bigger return.

That can't be the trade, agreed.

I think a 1st, Weiss and a guy like Brendan Smith for Dion - some retained salary will be the deal, if it goes down

Phaneuf will be gone by 3:00 PM.

Wise good prospect and a first for Phaneuf with 1.5 retained. That's what I would want

Phaneuf will be gone by 3:00 PM.

Do you retain salary year by year? If so I can see some being retained this year.
