These type of deals are possible. Don't think Spaling is worth a second especially since he hasn't played much this year to show how good he can be. You're right about Reimer,from a Leaf point of view they hope a contender's starter or back up gets hurt so Reimer can get a good price. Don't think 25 year old Schroeder is going to be an NHLer, but if the Leafs take back money as you suggest, under the right circumstances, might in get a better pick or prospect back. Dallas could be a great destination for Polak.
Dallas has 3 very good young Dmen in the AHL, plus Oleksiak and a Finn in the NHL. Any one of those guys might be NHL ready next year. That's who the Leafs might want, instead of faraway (time) pick.
Good thoughts on these trades BeLeafer67.
