Gord Miller, and the panel(Mac, Dregs, Lebrun) straight out of the gate said there is significant interest in Dion Phaneuf. And what might move things along is Leafs are now willing to eat some of that salary.

Crossing my fingers that Phaneuf, Lupul, Bozak are traded but that we keep Kessel.

Kessel is a top tier forward. He is legitimately good, unlike the rest of our core.

He's a top tiered offensive forward who lacks so many different aspects to his game. Get him the **** outta here.

The issue is that the Leafs don't or won't retain salary.

If the Wings want us to retain salary, it'll cost a top prospect and probably a top pick to do so.

It should be a fun day of speculation if nothing else.

Crossing fingers that we make some legitimate moves though.

Sorry, lazy ass Kessel, afraid to get hit by someones shadow, has to go too. He's not a player you can build a team around. Been there, tried that, FAILED MISERABLY!

Good bye Phil!!!

We can afford to retain on Phaneuf with the Horton contract, hold onto some salary and lets really cash in on him.

The issue isn't about being able to retain money with our salary cap projection.

The problem is that you can only retain 3 salaries in a season. Retaining salary on Phaneuf means we are down a salary retention for the next 6 years. That could hurt a potential trade in the future.

The problem is that you can only retain 3 salaries in any given trade per season. Retaining salary on Phaneuf means we are down a salary retention for the next 6 years. That could hurt a potential trade in the future.

Good point. I thought it was like a slot and we'd have an opening when Gunnarsson's contract expires in in 2016-2017.
