The 2nd and 3rd round picks CGY gets from WSH in Glencross deal are 2015 draft. Trade call hasn't happened yet, though.

A little suprised given Calgary is still in the mix.

Man, prices seem to be waaaayyy higher this year compared to last. Glencross is a pretty meh middle-6 forward.

I think they're higher as well. Upcoming draft seems to be decent. Not a bad time for a fire sale.

They're not going to win anything this spring. So they might as well make sure they get something for Glencross.

Saw a few more in the media today describing this as a sellers market (ie Duhatschek & others).

But the market for this year?s deadline was essentially set when the Toronto Maple Leafs pried loose a first-round pick from the Nashville Predators in the deal that sent Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli south.

In all, four first-rounders have already been traded: Nashville to Toronto; Buffalo to Winnipeg in the Evander Kane deal; Los Angeles to Carolina for Andrej Sekera; and Chicago to Arizona for Antoine Vermette. The prices seem high in what is considered one of the deepest drafts in a decade ? and the only explanation seems to be that there isn?t a single NHL powerhouse to fear this year; and thus, a lot of teams believe they have a legitimate chance to win a Stanley Cup championship.

Cash in, Leafs, cash in!

Actually Glencross was content to remain a Flame, quoted as saying he wanted to stay after playing some good hockey for them.  Not a player too eager to leave.

I highly doubt Toronto will make another deal of significance, which will probably be a big mistake.

Outside of bad offers, there's very little reason to keep Lupul/Phaneuf/Bozak and others.

ARI was willing to eat 50% of Yandle's contract next year, and it got them a 1st and a very highly regarded prospect.

Leafs should do the same with Lupul IMO. This team doesn't need the cap space in the next couple years as they should be a bottom feeder for some time yet.

I'd retain 100% (I'm guessing that's not allowed) of his salary for the next 3 years, if it meant a 1st and Pastrnak/Subban.

Max. retained salary/cap hit for one player is 50%.

Max. one team can retain is 15% of the cap.

A good layman's explanation is here:

The Dubnyk example is interesting. Basically his cap hit is being shared by two teams and his salary by three teams!
