Leafs arn't looking to move Mikheyev for cap space. They've already publicly come out and said they denied his trade request. You'd have to have some kind of NHL talent involved in a deal to make it worthwhile for them.

Last thing a team needs is a disgrunted player on your team bad chemistry

No the last thing the teams need is to TRADE a disgruntled player. Suddenly the other eight disgruntled players go public and want to be traded. And make no mistake about it, every team has disgruntled players.
Please the inclusion of Ferland in any trade is meaningless. Actually the Leafs need to trade cap so maybe a Mikeheyev for HIghmore makes sense.

So are you saying Leafs have 8 unhappy players I doubt that Mekheyev just wants more playing time may get it with VAN and TO will probably be at cap limit so no cost whereas VAN may not while waiting for EP and QH contract resolution
