Negotiations are on-going?
They shouldn't be.
Latest(rumoured) numbers from Lindholms ask have been well under 6M.

Montour and Larsson are worth a 2nd?
I'd value them higher, currently, than I would the 1st.
Easily. If there is any GM in the league who has the cap to take on Stoner but would not do this deal he should be fired. Getting Larsson or Montour for only a 2nd plus a moderate cap dump is a steal.
Why not? What if Murray feels that Lindholm's value is, say, $5.4m?
I understand that everyone here has their own opinion of what Lindholm is worth, and they are willing to throw money at him, but that's pretty easy to say when it isn't your money and you aren't involved in the negotiations.
There are a lot of things Murray has done that I don't like. Trying to get the best deal possible for Anaheim, in RFA negotiations, is not one of those things.
Then he needs to be fired, the season is already on and under 6M contract is screaming the word steal.
He's the best young defenseman in the league.

Are these career ending injuries? If not, what happens when they return?
Trades, buyouts next summer (Bieksa, Stoner). Get the contract done worry about that later.
Yes, if that would work it would have happened already, especially when Despres was put on LTIR.
So, the problem with signing Lindholm is the internal budget.....but they are going to buy out players to do it?

This came up in another thread from a Ducks fan:
To Toronto:
Stoner (at full price)
1 of Larrsson/Montour/1st
To Ducks:
2nd
This gives the Ducks some cap flexability and gives Toronto a decent, albeit over payed, Dman as well as a future piece. I would prefer 1 of the players over the 1st, but would do any of them.
The actual salary cap and icing a competitive roster has become more important than the internal cap.
But please provide a source that states Lindholm can't be signed because of internal budget set by a billionaire owner.
The only source i have is that the Ducks are currently playing....and Lindholm is not. If, as you say, there aren't cap issues....one would think he'd be signed.
Then why haven't we done anything? We put Despres on LTIR, yet still no Lindholm signed.
I was pushing this idea before Despres was put on LTIR, but since that happened and still no signed Lindholm, there must be something we're not seeing that is keeping that idea from working.

I haven't really seen any Ducks fans respond as to what they think about the deal, more in defense of Larsson&Montour being worth more than a 2nd (which obviously they are)
From the leafs side I could get behind this, we could use another high upside D prospect especially from the Right side or that 1st rounder could be either used on a faller (Konecny, Julien Gauthier, German Rubtsov type) or to trade down for additional picks if someone really wants an available player (seems to be a go-to move for our management group). I don't think the 1st+Stoner is enough because that's probably only like a 10-15 place jump from our 2nd, but one of the prospects could do it
Or Murray is negotiating a fair salary rather than giving in to the demands of an agent.

Basically the Ducks are selling a very good prospect for a 2nd round pick.
Larsson and Montour are NHL ready, the 2nd round pick has a 50/50 chance of helping Anaheim in 5 years.
