I could see Tampa or the Habs giving up their 1st for Polak, especially if we took some salary back.
2nd +3rd much more likely though

Honestly I think Polak could fetch a late 1st
I could see a team like LA maybe coughing up a first for Polak if they get really desperate to make the playoffs and can't settle on a deal for Dion. I'm thinking Polak for 1st and cap dump not named Mike Richards would get it done. Even if we add a small + on our side to sweeten the pot
I really really doubt that polak would fetch us a first rounder. We'd be lucky with a second IMO.
Deadline deals:
Phaneuf- Cap dump, 1st, prospect
Bozak - 2nd + prospect
Winnik- 2nd +4th
Holzer- 6th
Booth- 6th
Jokinen- 7th
I agree with the valuation. I think we'll see all of 'em happen at the TDL.

Why everyone is so eager dumping Holzer for a 6th/7th rounder. Yes he will be a UFA, but the organization has invested many years in him already and he seems to be a serviceable dman in the NHL. I would try to extend his contract before the season ends.
Yup, Franson and Methot were two of the biggest names out there, and Nashville wasn't even one of the teams rumored to be going after a D-man. Myers was the biggest prize on the market, and he went to a team that wasn't expected to be one of the big "buyers" as well.
I believe the only significant D on the market remaining are Petry and Sekera, and there's quite a few teams (Cali teams, Detroit, Habs, etc) still looking to upgrade.
Polak wouldn't be a bad guy to hold onto through our rebuild though, he could be a nice interim partner for Rielly.
Hubs, petrovic or howden, 1st 15, 2nd 16
For kessel and holzer
You're asking way too much.
4 good pieces for Kessel is too much, nobody's paying that. Holzer isn't worth much... 4/5th round pick at most.
SeaOfBlue you are delusional if you think FLA will trade Barkov in a Kessel deal. Him, Ekblad and Bjudgstad are untouchable. Tallon has said as much.
It's like the other teams calling the Leafs and asking for Rielly.
Ya they aren't moving either their #1C or #1D for a winger. If Barkov was available for Kessel the deal would be done by now. Possibly even 1 for 1.
Would be a good deal for the Leafs. Santorelli netted us essentially a 2nd, so will the Winnik trade almost double the return? Hopefully I suppose.
LOL. Here's how it done:
Barkov, Ekblad, Huberdeau, 1st and 2nd for Kessel & Holzer.
Kessel has a home in Florida and they need star power to market their franchise, plus Kessel is one of the top snipers, playmakers and forwards in the league.
If the Panthers don't want to play ball, then we'll just a make a deal with one of the 20 teams that are lined up at our door.

Nashville only wanted to pay a 2nd for Franson. Including Santa bumped it to the 1st rounder and prospect.
Find it a funny move for Nashville myself. Giving up 2 pretty big assets for 2 rentals in positions they didn't really need a lot of. Santo is a good acquisition for them but what use do they have for Franson ? If the leafs had of pulled off a move like that at some point these boards would have a melt down
