On TSN and Twitter tonight [Darren Dreger announced](https://twitter.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#!/DarrenDreger/status/170333151208538114):

Offer for Grabovski is for a 2nd rnd pick and prospect. Could get more. Still hope to re-sign him.

I'm guessing the gap in signing [Mikhail Grabovski](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54327/mikhail-grabovski?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is that Burke is looking for somewhere around $5M and Grabovski's agent wants Kessel's $5.4M deal. It's worth noting two things: first off that it would blow to lose a good player over $500k. A 2nd rounder and a prospect isn't worth anything. It's [Luca Caputi](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55391/luca-caputi?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and someone worse than [Tyler Biggs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/132282/tyler-biggs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

The other thing is that Brian Burke leaks things to the media. It's possible that this is all part of the negotiation process and that if he's only worth a 2nd rounder that Grabovski's agent will tell him to take a smaller deal. For right now we need to hope that's the case: it's hard to see the Leafs making the playoffs this year without Grabovski and even harder to see it next season.
