Brashear @1.4 mil with 1 year

Rangers: Campbell @7.1 mil w/ 4 years and Huet @5.625 w/ 2 years and

The proposed lineup below is decent going into next season. And the Leafs would have 8.5 million to spend on players... one comes to mind in that price range. If they got HIM, then they wouldn't really need to sign Torres, which we free up that 2 million.

That seems like a pretty fair deal. I'm sure Burke would like a player that isn't a pending UFA; at the same time, if Charelli were dealing Bergeron I'm sure he too wouldn't like a pending UFA in return, but, both teams would be taking on the same risk while addressing both their needs (in the short term). With Wideman gone they need a puck moving defencemen, and we want a top six forward who can play centre. Salaries are almost a wash with Toronto taking on the extra 500k - maybe worth a 5th round pick.

Then we could get rid of Grabovski. Please.

I know we couldn't/ Burke would never accept it. Carter + Giroux + Van Riemsdyk for Kaberle + Finger

Just saw Dreger say Savard is the odd man out in Boston.

Is Kaberle for Savard out of the question?

The glaring issue is that Savard is signed to a cap friendly deal and Kaberle has one year left however Kaberle is (in addition to being a quality hockey player) a character guy, I see him as a Chiarelli type player and could be coaxed into a reasonable extension.

That's interesting, both are UFA after this year. I wonder if Bergeron played much with Kessel during their time in Boston

What about Patrice Bergeron for Kaberle?

Great video on this year's crop of Hall of Fame candidates. I think all of these guys should be in the Hall eventually.
