You won’t get a bag of pucks for Jason Blake. You might get an empty bag or a few loose pucks, but there’s no way a GM is giving up 2 assets for Blake.

Sorry, easy joke.
Sopel makes perfect sense. The last thing the Leafs need is another d-man and Burke has a history of going after former players…

it's not the player
it’s the pick.
sopel is a salary dump.

And what evidence do you have that the Leafs are even allowed to blatantly circumvent the cap issues by trading a player they have virtually no intention of playing for a draft pick? Toronto already lost their draft pick with Tampa Bay on very iffy circumstances, too. I’m not trying to say it wouldn’t be beneficial for Toronto to help Chicago out, but Toronto isn’t the only team that is willing to do this sort of deal.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Toronto lost the TB pick because they violated the cap by buying Frogren out of his SEL contract.
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
Oh, I’m aware of the official reason for the punishment. But the trade itself was void in any case, despite it being a pure salary cap dump.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
I’m confused – one didn’t have anything to do with the other.
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
I worded it very confusingly. In the end, apologies. I just meant one of the few obvious cap relief trades after the salary cap was instituted didn’t end up being very successful for the Leafs (though the means was unrelated).
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Gotcha.
But I can still only think of 2 deals that were straight up picks for salary.
With buy-outs, waivers and the KHL teams are foolish to blow picks to rid themselves of contracts.

Exactly, hence my hesitation to declare Toronto as the top destination for Chicago. I hope Burke can talk Chicago into disagreeing of course.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Yup, and one of the reasons that I can’t see teams getting more than a 4th in any salary dump.
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
i didn’t say you were against it, i asked what other teams can afford it?
I’d think the Habs, Rangers, Wings and Flyers.
i’m hypothesizing. but fuck it, i’m tired of arguing with leaf fans, and coming off as Brian Burke’s message board white knight.

I’m not against Burke at all, but I’m just sceptical of such a move for Toronto, that’s all. I’m not trying to be a jerk here even though it looks like I’m trying to antagonize. Burke says a lot of things, but until I see it, I won’t believe it – like any other GM in sports.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
As far as I know, picks for salary has only happened twice – San Jose and Detroit coming out of the lock-out and that bizarre deal between Toronto and Tampa last year at the deadline.
Can anyone else think of other occurrrences?
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
Oh, I get the idea behind the deal but in reality? It will be a Leafs 6th and a career AHLer for Sopel and a 4th.

Chicago has 29 potential trading partners, I think the ceiling on dumping for cap space is a 4th.
That said, the big issue for Chicago is the tag-up room, which is defined by how much salary is coming OFF the cap in 2010-11.
What Leaf has the biggest contract expiring this season? Van Ryn.
I wonder if teams can trade a guy that’s on LTIR. Hawks get cap relief from Sopel and Van Ryn, Leafs get a marginal pick and some depth on D.
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
didn’t SJ and NJD try that LTIR trade once?

Exelby also comes off the books next year, and Chicago might be interested in a guy that can actually play the rest of the season.
by Belligerent Burkie on Nov 21, 2009 9:11 PM EST up reply actions
Exelby only makes $1.3 against the cap. Van Ryn is at $2.9M
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
Chicago needs to maximize the $$$ coming off their cap.
That’s the only thing they need – expiring contracts. To that end Van Ryn is worth 2.5X what Exelby is.
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
According to CapGeek, Toronto has less than $1.5 mil in cap space. I’m not sure the Leafs can take on Sopel’s contract without giving up a roster player (and MVR is on LTIR, meaning his contract isn’t taken into account for the Cap).
by Belligerent Burkie on Nov 21, 2009 9:19 PM EST up reply actions
The Leafs have to move one player to the AHL to make room on the 23 man roster. I’m sure that will free up more than enough salary to squeak a guy like Sopel under the cap.
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
Ya it would probably mean a demotion for some one… man our D-core is eating up a serious amount of our cap

Biggest expiring contract is Toskala at $4 million.
MVR – $2.9

Yeah, so, Brent Sopel? Not sure how much that would help. I guess we could use some defensive depth. A draft pick to go with it would be nice.
