Firstly, you never mentioned Sundin going to the Kings, only McCabe and Raycroft. McCabe would probably not wave his NTC to go to a rebuilding team. They could probably sign a better player at the same price as a FA.

If for some strange reason, Lombardi makes this trade, There would most definetley send salary back the other way, no way they will want to pick up 8 or so million dollars of salary.

This trade still makes zero sense, trade two promising young players for two mediocore over priced, under achieving players. Other GMs are much smarter than Ferguson.

And why would LA want Raycroft? They already have 3 to 4 mediocre players, keep dreaming.

The Kings would do it because they need an experienced leader. They have a bright future and trading away a couple of stars wouldn't deplete their team. Sundin is the type of player the Kings are looking for in a leader.

I'm not sure if you're right about Boston wanting to trade Kessel. They seem pretty happy with him, although he isn't doing well. I believe Boston will hold onto him, they can't afford to lose his potentially. If the Leafs are going to make a trade, I do agree with you that they should dump their over-paid players. But I think they will trade for a 2nd line defencemen or a pure goal scorer. The Leafs don't need to trade for way in the future. They have lots of good young prospects in the system and if they hold on to their draft picks, they should be fine. I think possible Leafs trades could be:

To Los Angeles
Bryan McCabe
Andrew Raycroft

To Toronto
Dustin Brown
Thomas Hickey

or

To Anaheim
Darcy Tucker
Mats Sundin

To Toronto
Corey Perry
Francois Beauchemin

Ummmmmm… ya i hate people who keep saying that Toronto should or is going trade Sundin because for one, he wants to stay in Toronto until he retires and two, he has a NTC!

the bruins will not give up lucic or rask!!the first round pick and kessel may be atainable ................but i think kessel still might be untouchable for anyone to acquire!i think what you might see is deal something like this

                            to toronto:

                             1st r.d pick in 08 draft

                             zack hamill(07 first r.d pick)
                             matt lashoff (bruins top defenceman prospect)

                               to boston:

                               mats sundin
                                ian white

                              this is a deal that boston and toronto could realistically do and it makes sense for both teams!however i wonder about bostons cap space!this helps toronto greatly by shedding salary,creating cap space and gives them some good prospects for there rebuilding !!!
