That is a lot take Loui off our books. I think I rather suffer than lose a goalie who can be come a backup if Marky leaves and not lose ANOTHER 1st rd pick

HAHAHAHA! Totally hilariousness. So you think you are getting a first for Anisimov when, regardless of what propaganda TSN tells you, this team may not even get a 1st for Pageau. Don't kid yourself about including Erickson in this deal. That's not enough of a reason to throw out a 1st for a player with term left on a deal. Don't mistake the Leafs' situation with Marleau as the same situation in Vancouver with Erickson. The Canucks should have enough salary cap space next year that should definitely not have to give up a 1st to get rid of him like that.

when Hughes and Pettersson need to be re-signed Ericksson will have 1 year left on his deal. VAN could then just buy him out and take the extra year @ $2m. at the same time Edler, Benn, Baertschi and Sutter all come off the books + 4 million in relief from the buyout (that's $20 million) more than enough to move around and resign Hughes, Pettersson, Pearson and Demko

still sucks but beats giving up a first IMO

I feel like if you take DiPietro out and up the 7th to a 5th it gets close

Loui + 1st for Anisimov (50%) + 5th

But I dont think Melnyk likes this financially
