Noris staying in Nashville is more than likely to stay in close contact with both of the GM of the teams playing here tonight. The fact that Leaf scouts are watching the Admirals si another thing. My guess is something is going to go down and soon and Franson is the likely part moving. Poile probably doesn't make this move unless Ellis is far from being back so we will see. If a forward is moved as well to Nashville it will likely be Winnick and I would be good with that as he would be an improvement over Bourque on the third line.
The leafs would be stupid to move Kessel right now as they will get far less for him. Simple fact is there are not many teams that could even consider trading for him because of the cap. The offseason will open that market up greatly and improve the return. I'm not even conviced that having Kessel here for a cup run would help enough to merit the big shake up it would cause. I'm happy that there is no chance it will happen.
