He's not a rental though. He has much term and cost. The only way he gets traded prior to deadline is if we take a bad contract back.
Let's wait until it actually happens. Who knows, perhaps Jokinen is traded for a contract.
So for now, it's 48 contracts.
Why would Leafs want a live player? They are rebuilding and have already said they want picks.
If I were Nonis/Shanahan. I would retain part of that salary and increase his value and make the best deal I can to a contending team. A mid rd pick is good enough for me. There is no need to have this guy play for us when we are tanking.
No way they get rid of Toffoli. I would love Kempe or Zykov.
Leipsic - 5'9"
Weal - 5'9"
unless the nhl takes away any sort of contact the Leafs team will get destroyed out there

he would be a horrible guy to keep around because he'd walk after the season and we'd get nothing. He HAS to go to the highest bidder.
I know, tell Marty St. Louis to retire.
And the 13 goals that Brendan Gallagher has would put him in the Leafs top 6.
Oh and 5'9", all-star, Tyler Johnson should probably be sent down to the AHL because his point per game scoring is too much for the NHL.
It's too bad that 6'6, Joe Colborne isn't the Leafs 1st line centre, right?
That would be awful value for Bozak
If we can get a late 1st for Franson, then surely we can get a 1st + for Phaneuf
Watching now for players that acquire us picks only being moved. Freeing up contract space should be telling at this point. The leafs moving contracts for picks would indicate a larger deal to follow.
We didn't gain any contract space benefit moving Santo and Cody. We need more room before a multiplayer deal happens.I would take Second round pick and a prospect for Bozak that fast you wouldn't be able to blink lol.
Winnik,booth,Riemer and Bozak seem like they could be next.
The real question is does Olli play a game in a Leafs jersey before he is traded?
