2015 Trade Deadline Report

Below is a recap of the Leafs trades today:

Miro Altonen
2015 2nd round pick
2015 3rd round pick
2014 4th round pick
To Minnesota
Jonathan Bernier

2015 2nd round pick
2015 4th round pick
To Arizona
Cody Franson
To Toronto
Brandon Gormley
2015 5th round pick
Martin Ward scheduled a press conference after the deadline had ended where he talked about the moves made today and fielded questions from reporters.
"First and foremost I'd like to thank you all for coming out today, as you know we made some trades today.
I'll start with the Santorelli trade. Mike's a great guy and a great hockey player, we're sad to see him go, but he wasn't in our future plans. Right now we have a very shallow prospect pool, we're going to use the draft picks we acquired to stock the cupboard. I wish Mike all the best.
Cody Franson had informed us a month ago that he wasn't going to resign with us. He didn't want to be a part of the rebuilding process. We were fortunate to get Brandon in return, he's a player who will step right and play in the top 4. He's a RFA at seasons end and will be with us for the foreseeable future.
You can't have 2 number 1's forever, we had a decision to make and we chose to keep James. James is under contract for next year which made the decision a little easier. Jon's a good goalie, he's a competitor and he wanted to be a starter, in Minnesota he will be the guy. Nik Backstrom is a vet who can come in and be a mentor for James, he will also serve as our backup next year which settles our goaltending situation for the time being. The 2nd round could later be flipped at the draft, we don't know what's out there but we have lots of draft picks and lots of options."
Martin Ward Q and A:
Reporter 1: Martin, fans are curious, are the Leafs rebuilding >
M.W: That's a good question. Yes we are rebuilding, it's going to be a busy summer and you will see some big moves.
Reporter 2: Martin, is it true that Phil Kessel has requested a trade ?
M.W: No, he has not. Did he ask you for a trade ? I haven't heard anything. If he wants a trade he would have to tell me and not you.
Reporter 3: Are the any untouchables ?
M.W: Yes, Panik, Reilly and Nylander will not be moved.
Reporter 1: Is James Reimer the number goalie ? Is he the guy ?
M.W: Have you followed anything that has happened today ? Are you paying attention ? Yes, he's our guy.
Reporter 2: Last question Martin, Who's on the block ? Will Dion Phaneuf be traded ?
M.W: What kind of question is this ? We don't discuss player availability with the media.
That concludes our coverage of the Leafs deadline day. Certainly not a quiet one.
