Lupul + Michalek for Niemi + Hemsky. The salary is even but the Stars add .75 to their cap. The Stars could make a deal for Bishop after this trade.
stars need to shed salary though. this deal plus a bishop for nichuskin + would put them over the cap.
If the leafs were gonna take on Niemi as a cap dump it should be something like
Tor: Niemi, 2nd rd pick
Dal: Sparks, 5th rd pick
The Leafs dont even have the space for that. If they want more salary then swap Michalek for Greening.
I still say the leafs go overseas and get Ben conz.
He doesn't fit the age criteria, but please let me be the first to point out that Ben Scrivens is still out there.
Edmonton's defense is so bad, Lundqvist and Price probably would have struggled to break the .905 barrier there. Montreal's defense is so bad, only Price can managed a better than .910 on their team as well.
And remember when Scrivens played for a strong defensive team like LAK that knows how to protect their goalie, Scrivens played quite well.
Can I interest you in Niemi? Switch the numbers around and he's 23...

In a money for money deal, sure.
Michalek + Greening for Niemi
A couple expensive bottom-6 forwards of different skillsets coming to 6.5M for this year on the cap for an expensive backup goalie signed for an extra year, 4.5M each season, for a total of 9M.
I think Dallas could use some forward depth, may prefer to get out of the 2nd year and has cheap alternatives to go after in FA in Enroth or Ramo.
Toronto needs a backup and would like to shed both of these forwards in order to let their young pool of forwards get more time. Enough so, that I'm sure they wouldn't mind taking on the extra year.
