That's sooooo last night now...The newest is Malone (again.) 4.5 hit with 3 years left (8 mil in real money as his deal was heavily front-loaded.)
Sure Stevie Y, Malone sounds great. How about a 5th round pick for him and his albatross contract and you throw in a 1st to make it happen.

That would work. I think.

Ugh I hope not. His cap hit is worse than armstrongs dead weight. We don't need two "power forwards" who don't play like it/are never in the lineup

The media/rumour mongers have linked Malone to the Leafs a lot of the past few years, but, if I had to guess, if it was going to happen, it already would have. Burke has said in the past that he's not interested in players that always seem to be hurt, so, my guess is any interest in Malone is luke warm at best.

I dunno.. Unlike Army, I think Malone was producing okay when in... He's still produces at the same clip offensively as Connolly does;
This year;
Malone: .66 PtsPG
Connolly: .69 PtsPG

I agree 100%
Clowe might be hard to get out of San Jose since he probably is their best/toughest fighter and will probably also be in their top 5 in points as well.
The other possible option I was wondering though is Chris Stewart. With the depth of toughness in St Louis with Crombeen, Backes, Reaves and Stewart all playing RW and knowing St Louis gave a a big dman to get Stewart I was wondering if Schenn straight up or Komisarek for Stewart and the rest of Andy McDonald's $9.4 MIL contract (if it wasn't insured) might work.
Unfortunately Malone straight up for Komisarek is more realistic than either of my Stewart trades. The only difference is Malone isn't a REAL fighter similar to Backes. OTOH, Clowe and Stewart are good hockey players and legitimate heavyweight fighters in the league.
In any regard, if the Leafs got Clowe, Stewart or Malone, that would free up a 2nd line player ***MacArthur *** cough *** for the Getzlaf trade as well as the Leafs 1st line center (Bozak??) and a young dman without messing with the chemistry a whole lot I would hope.

Since when is Armstrong considered a power forward? He's a checking forward. Large difference in my books.
Also, Malone plays like a power forward... mostly why he gets hurt, but also scores, especially on the PP in the crease.

JM Liles is skating today with the team.. good chance he could be back in the next few games. If he returns soon, might free up a move such as what we are suggesting.

I could see Komisarek willing to waive his NTC/NMC for Tampa (won't have to pay tax on the remaining part of his contract.) Malone however? I think for that reason he might never leave.

I think Connolly is an exception here, because, well, there was no other UFAs that could fill the role he was brought in for, and signing him meant saving trade assets for when players would become available instead of forcing something in the summer. In terms of trading for a power forward type, there are dozens of healthier options than Malone who are equally available.

That trade was all about Franson. Lombardi was, at the time, salary the Leafs were willing to eat in order to acquire a good young player. Burke pretty much said as much.

Again though... You don't really know that any more than I do. Unless, you're going with the logic that in reality, EVERYONE is actually available which I suppose is as sound as any.

Well, we don't know that Malone is available either, right? So, I mean, really, since we're speculating about players who may or may not be available, it's not unreasonable to say equivalent players with a better track record health-wise are equally available.
