The Leafs circled a Lindros deal a number of times. Along with this, they had worked on a deal at the end of his Flyers tenure. I don't remember the specifics unfortunately, so I'm not sure who backed out. I believe the Leafs had been allowed to talk to Lindros, and I think Antropov may have been part of the deal. I know Sundin wasn't involved. One wonders how Toronto would have done if they could roll out those two horses back to back during the playoffs.
From what I recall, Clarke wouldn’t do a trade unless Thomas Kaberle was part of Toronto’s package. The Leafs considered Kaberle untouchable and refused to discuss a trade involving him. Lindros was eventually dealt to the Rangers.
