I really hope they trade more. At least it will be interesting to see different players even If they suck.

So happy to have the raptors to watch.

Zach Sill is no prospect at 26. A career minor leaguer who was a 13th or 14th forward in his first full season with the Pens. He'll be with the Marlies next year if the Leafs bring him back.

He is put in the deal cause Leafs had to take salary in the trade cause Pens are so up against the cap

Leafs paying half of Winnik's remaining salary. I don't think Leafs care about Sill either, they just wanted the draft picks.

This just in-a miracle! Leafs unload Clarkson! Traded to Columbus for Nathan Horton, who hasn't played all year, but who cares, they get out of that horrible contract.

This is basically like trading Clarkson for a bag of pucks.....
Well, that and the $5.25M in cap space that Clarkson won't be taking up for the next 5 seasons.

Will Nathan Horton announce his retirement? That's what this deal is all about and if he does will that create even more cap space?

No incentive to retire .. There was a story that he more worried about leading a normal life then playing hockey again . He has 5 more years of getting paid and if you retire you don't get paid anymore

This might answer your question .. Chris Pronger situation

With a resumption of his playing career looking unlikely, Pronger stepped down as team captain and was succeeded by Claude Giroux on January 15, 2013.[27] Pronger's contract runs through the 2016-17 season. He was 35 years old before the contract began, so the Flyers are on the hook for the $4.9 million cost against the salary cap each season, though they have been able to receive relief by placing Pronger on long-term injured reserve at the start of each season. Had Pronger retired officially, the Flyers would lose that ability and his contract would count fully against the cap, furthermore he would not receive the rest of the salary owed to him from the contract which was $12.15 million at the start of the 2013-14 season. [28] While no longer an on-ice player, Pronger still remains with the Flyers at the management level helping to scout and interview prospects.[29]

How this trade is genius is Leafs can trade Phil or Dion and keep 2 million of their contract on their books . Dion at 5 million or Phil at 6 million being traded can fetch you a boat load of pics and prospects . Trading those two at their present salary would fetch you little to nothing . Hope this makes sense

I agree to move Phaneuf ,, and eat some salary ... But be careful what u ask for in trading Kessel, he scores 30 a year regular,, at 8 million he is a rare scorer ?? I agree he is not a leader but he is a dangerous offensive player ..
