TO ANA: B. Leipsic (or Kapanen if ANA adds) + F. Corrado <--waived by ANA
TO TOR: C. Stoner + S. Theodore
Why for ANA: Stoner is 100% a cap dump by Anaheim. In this scenario, they do not retain any salary to free up his cap hit of $3.25M for the remainder of this season and next year. Price to dump Stoner is Theodore however the Ducks get a good wing prospect back who is ready to play. Leipsic is playing very well in the AHL and plays a Darcy Tucker-like greasy game. Corrado's cap hit can be eliminated by waiving him.
Why for TOR: Much like deals the Leafs completed in the past, they take on some salary for a young asset. (Gardiner attached to then boat anchor Lupul, Franson attached to a concussed and overpaid Lombardi) Theodore has top 4 potential and would be guided by one of the best coaches in Babcock. Stoner, while overpaid and often injured, could add some snarl to the bottom pairing and push the likes of Hunwick and Marincin out the door. Leafs would jump quicker for a RHD like Montour but I don't think the ducks will part with him as he is their likely replacement for Vatanen. (Who I believe will be dealt pre-expansion draft in an effort to protect other Ducks' defenders.)
Leafs roll the following as I have seen Theodore play on the right side:
Reilly-Zaitsev
Gardiner-Theodore
Stoner-Carrick
(Marincin-Polak)
